The Campaign Against Antisemitism is calling for “Pink Floyd” co-founder Roger Waters to be imprisoned after he posted a message earlier this month supporting the group Palestine Action, which was recently banned in the UK under anti-terrorism laws.
In Waters’ video, he claimed Palestine Action is a “nonviolent” and “great organization” comprised of people who are “absolutely not terrorists in any way.”
Waters, who is from Cambridge, England, showed a sign he made that read, “Parliament has been corrupted by agents of a genocidal foreign power. Stand up and be counted. It’s now!”
“This is the ‘I am Spartacus’ moment,” he wrote on social media, saying in the video, “I declare my independence from the government of the UK, who’ve just designated Palestine Action a terrorist, proscribed terrorist organization.”
The Campaign Against Antisemitism responded by calling for Waters to be jailed, writing, “Anyone expressing support for it contrary to section 12 of the Terrorism Act 2000 commits a criminal offence. We stand ready to privately prosecute offenders in instances where an offence has been made out and the authorities fail to act.”
