Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters on 9/11, JFK, Gaza, and Why the Israel Lobby Is Trying to Destroy Him
July 17, 2026
AI Summary
5 min readRoger Waters, the co-founder of Pink Floyd, sat down with Tucker Carlson to explain why he has spent years trying to force a formal judicial inquiry into the events of September 11, 2001 — and why he believes the Israeli lobby has systematically tried to destroy his career for speaking out about it. The conversation is organized around a single, specific legal effort: an upcoming hearing in the UK Supreme Court on October 14-15, brought by a man named Matt Campbell, whose brother Jeff died in the World Trade Center. Campbell has spent 26 years trying to get a proper inquest into his brother’s death, something that has never happened anywhere in the world for any 9/11 victim. Waters has given £100,000 to fund the case and is asking for more donations to cover the legal fees.
