Roger Waters has voiced his support for Palestine Action, risking prosecution and a potential 14-year prison term, since the organization is now proscribed as a terrorist group in the UK under the Terrorism Act 2000. As of 5 July, membership of Palestine Action, or expressing public support for the group, is a criminal offence in Britain. On 5 July, police in London arrested 29 people in Parliament Square for holding placards stating, "I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action." In a video post on 5 July, former Pink Floyd legend Waters says, "For the record, I support Palestine Action," calling them "a great organization" and stating the "non-violent" group are "absolutely not terrorists in any way." Waters then displays a piece of cardboard: ROGER WATERS SUPPORT PALESTINE ACTION' and "Parliament has been corrupted by agents of a genocidal foreign power! STAND UP AND BE COUNTED. IT'S NOW!!!" The cardboard is dated "5th July 2025."

The UN had specifically urged the UK not to misuse terrorism laws against the group Palestine Action. But as Roger Waters points out, the UK Parliament seems to have been corrupted by their version of AIPAC. Recall that after nearly three decades, Pink Floyd had re-united to play a special concert to support the people of Ukraine after Russia's brutal invasion: Now, in Spartacus-like fashion, Roger Waters is boldly standing up for the people of Palestine after Israel's brutal invasion of Gaza. Roger Waters is also defying his own government, risking his very liberty. Pro-Israeli supporters have ridiculously tried to smear and slander the rock legend as a "Jew hater" and antisemite, all of which has failed miserably. Links:
