Standing up for student solidarity with Palestine featuring Pink Floyd's Roger Waters

On the eve of Roger Waters' Montreal’s Bell Centre performance, the rock legend supported McGill students who’ve faced a litany of attacks for advancing the Palestinian Liberation movement. The event discussed attacks against Palestine solidarity on campuses across Canada and the importance of supporting the Palestinian struggle.

Waters is joined by a McGill student representative to talk about the success and roadblocks to Palestine solidarity at McGill.

Roger Waters starts speaking at the 18 minute mark of this video.

Thank you Roger Waters. We love you because you are an courageous and inspiring voice for truth and resistance and freedom for Palestine, human rights, freedom of expression, and democracy. Thank you for speaking against apartheid Israel and for the world campaign for Boycott, Divestments, Sanctions (BDS)!

Respect!!! What an example you set to all artists. Thank you

You know the world civilization and society is well awake and aware when big unions and university students, around the globe speak out with the same voice. I used to wonder what type of ape planet I was living on in the 70's, the 80's and 90's when most of the world seemed it didn't care about Palestinian suffering and genocide. Sometimes it takes a great star to help shake everyone and everything up in a good way.

It'd be an honor to interview her, so please give her my contact details.

May 3, 2006; after successful march and rally in NYC for workers and immigrants rights, a driver driving someone else’s car ( with New Hampshire license plate ) made a left hand turn against red light causing me a concussion and other problems .
Same time period UN acting against Israeli Prime Minister Barak and his aggressions towards Palestinians.

I communicate daily, mostly regarding 9/11/01 —- fore planned Israeli, Saudi Arabia, USA controlled demolitions.

My communications daily since 9/11/91; Thanks for sharing .

Outside building I live in now, and related to Z. Brezinski —- “ Catastrophic Terrorisms “, “ The Grand Chessboard “—-

More since 1967 Israeli 6 day war.
I believe all World Wars related to Israeli created manipulations and crimes .

We Shall Overcome!

Andalusia and Israel are two territories taken back from Muslims.
Islam thinks it's supreme among the world’s religions and Jews are not equal to Muslims under Islamic law. And yet they now have self determination, autonomy and control in their ancient homeland, a homeland once ruled by Muslims. 😂😂😂

[ferntishman]

See new movie in NYC, produced by Mounia AKL, “Costa Brava, Lebanon “, which reminded me of August 31, 2020 Lebanon Fertilizer Explosions—- sane time period as in NYC massive wind storm uprooting trees, causing many other problems.

From the river to the sea, Israel will be free!
