I was indoctrinated into loving Pink Floyd by my father, who is a huge fan. I have to be glad about that because of how perfect most of Roger Water's politics are, particularly around Palestine. (www.youtube.com)

Former band mates. They openly despise each other and don't work together, and I think Gilmour has called Waters an antisemite, etc.

    Waters is very famously an unbearable PoS. His politics are good, but he is a nightmare to work with. I don't know much about Gilmore's politics, but I'm positive that his refusal to work with Waters is entirely personal.

    I know Waters is an asset, but I don't think Gilmore has taken up the mantle of Zionism just to be contrarian.

    Do you have anything about Gilmour being a Zionist? All I can find are Zionist rags saying he is anti-Israel, which is effectively meaningless, but that doesn't scream Zionist to me.

    He was calling Waters an anti-semite for criticism against Israel and being pro-palestine.

    Yeah he does seem like a bit of a psycho, good politics notwithstanding. Remember when he was getting cancelled a couple of years ago and he kept doing the same speech that culminated in him pretending to cry lol
