US State Department Condemns Roger Waters' Alleged Antisemitism in Performances.
The US State Department has accused Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters of perpetuating "antisemitic tropes" and minimizing the Holocaust during his recent Berlin concert, where he wore a Nazi-like costume. Waters has denied the accusations and claimed that his performance was a statement against fascism, injustice, and bigotry. He has also adopted right-wing talking points and accused newspapers of printing fake news. Waters' controversial attire has previously been condemned by the European Commission's coordinator on combating antisemitism and the US Special Envoy for Monitoring and Combating Antisemitism.
