Roger Waters has defamed the director of The Dark Side Of Roger Waters after claiming he is a “lying, conniving Zionist mouthpiece”.Investigative journalist John Ware sued both the Pink Floyd co-founder and the Al Jazeera media company for defamation after Waters called Ware a “lying, conniving Zionist mouthpiece” and accused him of “cheerleading the genocide of Palestinians” during an interview on Al Jazeera.Produced and presented by Ware, The Dark Side Of Roger Waters collates various incidents of alleged anti-Semitism levelled against the musician. Waters previously dismissed the project as “a flimsy, unapologetic piece of propaganda”.Today (February 25), Justice Jennifer Eady ruled that Waters was making a statement of fact rather than an honest opinion.

David Gilmour has continued his long running feud with former Pink Floyd bandmate, Roger Waters, by sharing a documentary detailing instances of alleged anti-Semitism from the latter.Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Gilmour retweeted a post about a documentary titled The Dark Side Of Roger Waters, originally published by the Campaign Against Antisemitism, which produced the project.Rogers has previously spoken out against the documentary with a post to his official website, dismissing the project as “a flimsy, unapologetic piece of propaganda”. He also claimed that it “indiscriminately mixes things I’m alleged to have said or done at different times and in different contexts, in an effort to portray me as an antisemite, without any foundation in fact”.The clip shared by Gilmour sees two of Waters’ former collaborators recall their experiences working with the musician, and the instances where they reportedly saw him make anti-Semitic comments.The first of which was from Waters’ former saxophonist Nortber Statchel, who told BBC journalist John Ware about a time when the Pink Floyd musician allegedly imitated a stereotypically poor Polish woman as a reference to his Jewish ancestors.
