Pink Floyd rock legend Roger Waters responds to news from Gaza that Israel has massacred over 400 Palestinians in renewed rounds of bombardment and sends a message to Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil.
Asked what his message is to Mahmoud Khalil and other students like him who have been arrested recently by immigration enforcement officers in the US and are being threatened with deportation, Roger responds, “Keep doing what you were doing before they arrested you!”
“This is Gestapo tactics, this is fascism at work. Years ago in interviews I was saying the fight for universal human rights, specifically relating to the people of Palestine, will be fought on the campuses of north America, how right I was going to be I had no idea!”
Amid the horrors being inflicted on Gaza, Roger questions whether Israel’s genocide may eventually backfire: “What I hope is the genocide of the Palestinian people will prove to be the Achilles heel in the monster of the Western hegemony with its mask off which we’re watching operate.”
“The hole in [Donald] Trump’s armour and the hole in the Israeli lobby’s armour is their evil. The fact that they’re so undeniably and appallingly evil in every way maybe their Achilles heel, and they may fail. They may fall over.”

It breaks my heart to watch, see what is taken place in Palestine and the world not only watches but supports Israel, especially Christians who think this is to happen so Israel can have their homeland and Jesus will return. I can not walk with these Christians. My question: What can I do? I feel helpless and need to do something!
