Roger Waters Reconsidering Boycott of Israel

The outspoken Waters is speaking out again, but this time he’s reconsidering his own words about a hot topic.


It’s been less than a month since mxdwn reported that Roger Waters decided to boycott Israel, and he’s already having second thoughts.

The Pink Floyd member sat down with Huffington Post in an interview where he explained his stance on the issue.

“I am considering my position,” Waters said in the interview. “The letter asking my fellow musicians to boycott Israel has never appeared. I am thinking all of this through extremely carefully and I’m thinking it all through extremely carefully because I care more about the outcome, because I care about the people involved, than I do about the moment.”

He also said that he is rethinking his boycott because he wants to avoid a “dramatic moment.” In the interview he is clear in saying that although he might be changing his mind on the boycott, his opinion about Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories has remained. Waters still thinks that there should be an end to the occupation.
