Roger Waters on 9/11, JFK, Gaza, and the Israel lobby

Jul 17, 2026

A long interview where Roger Waters pushes 9/11 conspiracy theories, condemns Israel over Gaza, and warns the West is sliding toward war with Russia and Iran — a wide-ranging anti-war, anti-establishment message.

  • Waters claims the Twin Towers and Building 7 were brought down by controlled demolition, not planes, and says there has never been a real court inquiry into 9/11.
  • He is funding Matt Campbell, a Briton whose brother died in the towers, to force an inquest at the UK Supreme Court in October; Waters says he has given $100,000 and wants more.
  • He calls Israel an apartheid state committing genocide in Gaza, and says a pro-Israel lobby has spent 20 years trying to wreck his career, blocking hotels, concerts, and even veterans' charities he worked with.
  • He argues the US and Israel had foreknowledge of the attacks, ties it to a neocon plan to destroy seven countries, and links it all to JFK's killing and hidden files.
  • He warns the West is being pushed toward war with Russia, Iran, and Venezuela by a small group of rich elites chasing profit, and pleads for ordinary people to unite against it.

Outlook: No policy shift is coming from this, but Waters is betting the October UK court hearing could reopen the 9/11 question.
