Polly Samson has branded Roger Waters “anti-semitic to the core”.
A journalist, novelist, and acclaimed writer, Polly Samson took to the Twitter following repeated interviews by the prog legend. Samson, of course, knows Roger Waters well – she’s married to his (very much former) Pink Floyd band mate David Gilmour.
Recently, Roger Waters has earned criticism for his comments on Israel, and his attitudes towards the War in Ukraine. He recently referred to President Joe Biden as a “war criminal” for example, while also commenting: “The Israelis are committing genocide.”
A deep-dive interview in Rolling Stone stands as an example of shining light on some of his claims – even if Roger Waters himself slated both the article, and the journalist.
Seemingly having had just enough she could stand, Polly Samson took to social media, calling Roger Waters “antisemitic to your rotten core.”
She added: “Also a Putin apologist and a lying, thieving, hypocritical, tax-avoiding, lip-synching,misogynistic, sick-with-envy, megalomaniac. Enough of your nonsense.”
Golly.
For his part, David Gilmour added:

For his part, Roger Waters has rejected the claims, and intimated that he is seeking out legal advice. Stating that he is aware of the “incendiary and wildly inaccurate comments made about him”, the musician is “currently taking advice to his position”.
