“Antisemitism is not Rock ‘N’ Roll!” says Boy George in wake of antisemitic Roger Waters rant

Boy George and Maureen Lipman have voiced their outrage after Pink Floyd musician Roger Waters repeated his comparison of Israel to Nazi Germany and defended Russia in a recent interview.

Culture Club star Boy George told the JC: “I always thought Pink Floyd was part of [the] solution but Roger has fallen out of the dream. When you mix your own hostility with more hostility there is never any peace! Antisemitism is not rock ‘n’ roll!”

Dame Maureen Lipman called Mr Waters “a sad and addled old headbanger and his opinion is worthless”. Ms Lipman said: “He has form for persistent antisemitism as well as rabid anti-Zionism.

"His rant is obsessively centred on blaming Israel for being behind every war on the planet and denouncing Britain’s century-old colonialism whilst cosying up to Russian colonialists today.
