Pink Floyd Feud Spills Out Into Public As Roger Waters, David Gilmour Go At it
And this is over politics, not music. Echoing the disagreements over Ukraine last year. I'd wondered why the band's name and theirs were trending on Twitter...

Gilmour’s wife, novelist and lyricist Polly Samson, fired off a tweet accusing Waters of being “antisemitic to your rotten core” and called him “a Putin apologist and a lying, thieving, hypocritical, tax-avoiding, lip-synching, misogynistic, sick-with-envy, megalomaniac.”
It’s not clear what specifically prompted the message, but it may have been an interview Waters did with Germany’s Berliner Zeitung newspaper in which he said he stood by comments comparing modern Israel to Nazi Germany for its treatment of Palestinians, accused the Israelis of genocide and defended his boycott of the nation.

Waters has also defended Russian President Vladimir Putin, criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and called U.S. President Joe Biden a war criminal over the war in Ukraine.

I've learned enough over the past two years to bemoan my past appreciation of the man.
He is a musical genius, but as a human being, not so much. 
He made a well publicized racist rant on stage as well in the 70s when he was so trashed he could barely play. He was really fucked up in the mid 70s and frequently cancelled shows. Its all documented in his biographical documentary. But after he lost his son he seemed to get his shit together and his priorities straight. He payed homage to his blues roots and heroes like BB through the late 80s and 90s also charity benefits. He seemed to be a moral redemption story in which tragedy shook him awake. Then covid happened and he seemed to forget all that and start showing his ass regularly… 
Bet that riled him up far more than the rest! 
The Wall is semi-autobiographical. Is Pink really Roger . . . well, yes and no. The Band members have talked extensively about the subject. But in context of other things Roger has said and done, one does wonder if Roger's very heavily covered inner fears of his inner fascist does get the better of him at times just as it gets Pink. As Rick Wright said, The Wall was like a therapy session for Roger that he needed to do, but Rick didn't feel he really needed to do it 
If it wasn't for the Nips
Being so good at building ships
The yards would still be open on the Clyde
And that can't be much fun for them
Beneath the rising sun
With all their kids committing suicide
Sure, in context of the character, dropping the slur Nips seems natural. But the rest of the Floyd wasn't dropping a lot of racial slurs like that in their songs. It's a very Roger thing. You get a pass that it's art and the perspective of a character to some point, but once you start putting the star of David on your inflatable pig (offensive on several levels), people do get to reexamine things. And the Wall is semi-autobiographical. Where Roger ends and Pink as just a character begins is very blurred.
If you don't like Bibi (and/or Sheldon Adelson), does that by extension mean you dislike all ethnic Jews?
Similarly, if you hate Trump, does that mean you hate all white people?
If the Pigs had American flags on the side ... might you be accepting of the statement being made, without assuming it means whites, blacks, Asians, Latinos, Muslims, and all the others who make up the US population ... all suck?
Just askin'
sides with Russia & calls "PJB a war criminal" is Full of Shite. 
And predictably there are those gaslighting and 'splainin' the "true" nature of anti-Semitism.
