Roger Waters on the Gaza genocide: The mask is off for a dying Western Empire

On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to legendary Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters. He discusses the fall of Bashar Assad in Syria, the horrific events in the Middle East being machinations of a dying Western empire with the mask now off, how the Gaza genocide shows the hypocrisy of the US, UK and European governments when it comes to human rights and international law, the Starmer government’s role in the Gaza genocide and the shame he feels at being English while the genocide continues, where he finds optimism for an ‘existential battle’ for the soul of the human race, how the US deposed Assad by stealing Syria’s oil and sanctioning the Syrian economy to the point where ‘the government never had a chance’, his release of the emails between him and Thom Yorke of Radiohead asking him to join the BDS movement and not perform in Israel, the impact of his childhood and upbringing on his politics and his opposition to Israel’s genocide in Gaza, the few brave Israelis that speak out against their government, and much more.
