On Sunday the 27th, Roger Waters once again took to social media to comment on the United States' actions in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The post is directed at American voters who will choose the country's next president on November 5th.
The caption, in all caps, advises against choosing between the leading candidates, Kamala Harris (Democrats) and Donald Trump (Republicans). The former Pink Floyd member justifies this by stating that "both support the murder of children," alluding to the support of both candidates – and their parties – for the actions of the State of Israel against the Palestinian people, especially children.
The released video shows a live excerpt of the song "Money," released on The Dark Side of the Moon (1973). The screens display images of the two US presidential candidates – Trump appears alongside Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel. Then, the music stops, and an apocalyptic speech appears with images of nuclear explosions.
At the end of the video, Waters suggests voting for three minor candidates and their respective running mates: Jill Stein/Butch Ware (Green Party), Cornel West/Melina Abdullah (Democratic Socialists), or Joe Kishore/Jerry White (Socialist Equality Party). This choice would bring in someone with a stance opposed to the genocide of the Palestinian population.
