ROGER WATERS SLAMS SYRIA INTERVENTION, ATTACKS ‘WHITE HELMETS’ AS 'FAKE'
APRIL 15, 2018 20:32
Waters claimed that listening to “propaganda” of the White Helmets about the chemical weapons attack would lead to bombing of Syria.
During a concert Friday in Barcelona, the former Pink Floyd leader launched into a tirade against a Syrian volunteer group called the White Helmets that works in search and rescue in rebel-held areas of Syria. He called them a “fake organization” that created propaganda for “jihadists and terrorists.”
He then claimed that listening to “propaganda of the White Helmets and others we would be encouraged to encourage our governments to go and start dropping bombs on people in Syria.”
The video of Waters statement was posted on Youtube by a group called Hands off Syria. It showed Waters at his ‘Us+Them’ 2018 tour. Waters begins by claiming that someone had wanted to come on stage and make a speech about the chemical weapons attack in Douma. “He is one voice, I personally think he is entirely wrong, I believe the organization that he purports to represent and who he supports, the White Helmets, are a fake organization that is creating propaganda for jihadists and terrorists, that’s what I believe.”
The White Helmets were the subject of a 2017 documentary and were nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize the same year.
