Singer and famed guitarist David Gilmour on Monday showed support for his wife's criticism of his former Pink Floyd bandmate Roger Waters, an outspoken critic of Israel, calling him antisemitic.
Retweeting Polly Samson's post, Gilmore captioned it with "demonstratively true."
"Sadly @rogerwaters, you are antisemitic to your rotten core. Also a Putin apologist and a lying, thieving, hypocritical, tax-avoiding, lip-synching, misogynistic, sick-with-envy, megalomaniac," Polly Samson wrote on her Twitter feed in response to an interview Waters gave, in which he likened the State of Israel to the Nazis.
Waters responded saying he was aware of the “incendiary and wildly inaccurate comments made about him,” which he “refutes entirely.” “He is currently taking advice to his position,” he said in a statement.
He had previously expressed support for the takeover of Crimea by pro-Russian separatists, prompting the Ukrainian media organization Myrotvorets to add him to their "hit list" in 2018.
Waters also gained notoriety among anti-Israel activists for his claims that Israel was committing the worst human rights violations in the world and had no right to exist.
Not all welcomed Gilmore's criticism of Waters, with some of his followers called him a "traitor" and a "pig" in the comments.
Gilmour and Waters have been feuding for some 40 years when the latter left the famed band in 1985. Samson has since become one of the primary lyricists for Pink Floyd.
After pulling Pink Floyd songs from Russian streaming services, Gilmour and Nick Mason released their first Pink Floyd song in 28 years, “Hey, Hey Rise Up!,” to benefit the Ukraine Humanitarian Fund.
