US State Department Accuses Pink Floyd Co-Founder Roger Waters of Antisemitism After Berlin Concert

The Biden administration labeled Waters' recent performances in Germany as antisemitic due to his long history of using antisemitic tropes and concert imagery that minimized the Holocaust and was deeply offensive to Jewish people.
The U.S. special envoy to combat antisemitism, Deborah Lipstadt, denounced Waters, echoing comments from the EU antisemitism envoy.
Police in Berlin have opened an investigation of Waters on suspicion of incitement over the costume he wore during the performance.
Waters wore a black trench coat with a swastika-like emblem during the performance, which he said was a statement against fascism, injustice, and bigotry.
The State Department did not respond to follow-up questions, including whether officials had viewed the concert and in what form, and did not give examples of Waters' alleged use of antisemitic tropes.
