Roger Waters UN Address - Nov 29, 2012

- Roger Waters, speaking on behalf of the Russell Tribunal, delivers a very nicely put speech in front of delegates on International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. This day also marks an important development in the Palestinians' bid to statehood as they are now recognized as a non-member observer state. Hopefully the world sees both sides of the story and that both conflicting parties go into negotiations towards a two-state peaceful solution and put an end this long and dragged out conflict. Enough is enough!
Please be mindful of what you say in your comments. Else I will just disable it altogether. Thank You!
This is the 4th time I've watched this. And still my breath is taken away. So brilliantly said, articulate, and with words that are accessable and understandable to all, whatever your knowledge on this subject is. Loved this mans music, and now, in my 50's it gives me enormous joy to see we werent just aligned in that. Wonderful speech, wonderful man. Bravo!

Thank you Roger Waters. UN has declared 2014 is the year of solidarity for palestinian people. Jewish Voice for Peace and BDS are also working hard to make Israel's war crimes and Apartheid stop. Israel has to understand its racist et colonialist behaviour won't be tolerated anymore. Enough of this horrible illegal politics.
Roger Waters is a great man...a man of integrity, a man of courage and a man who inspires humanity. Thank you Sir Roger :)
I'm just glad someone is actually speaking truth
+kamil farawi He is good at telling lies, just like muslims does as the Quran encourages.
Invisible Drummer you say that as you lie...
Qur'an doesn't encourage lying. No more than the Christian bible does. Have you read the Qur'an?
+Eddie Iler Eh, yes? Are you blind or something? They can lie as long as it is in honour or protection to their half-moon god "allah".
A beautiful, factually correct, heartbreaking testimony by Roger Waters. Thank you for all you do.

Waters is a very well educated and articulate man. Glad to see he is using his fame to do good in this world.

Roger Waters is ONE OF A KIND man. To say he is courageous is an understatement.
Thank you for posting this video. I missed it yesterday and was hoping someone would post it here soon :-)
Mr Waters is a talented musician and a very great man.
Roger speaks his mind, and speaks it well.
Roger a great human
Gratitude Love Brother Roger Waters ~ Free Palestine ~
I just listened to Final Cut the other day.
I’m not surprised he’s seated here making a speech.
Brilliant....thanks for sharing
God Bless u , love from Palestine
GOD will not bless him...mark these words.
Fons negentienachtenvijftig its amazing how you don even want international ppl to stand in solidarity with the Palestinians , you are always crying for the holocaust which have done and doing it to Palestinians, I will tell you to mark these words God will always stand with the oppressed. In God we believe ,and even with out trying hard as you do with your movements along the world we have the solidarity from all over the world because our conflict and struggles is for our rights , which is the opposite in your case

Its disrespectful of you if you deny and keep a blind eye to what is Israel doing to Palestinians,, its so funny that a country like Israel protects it by building walls separating 1 country and even after this,, they are so afraid they are protecting themselves in all the Legal west bank Lands by check points to protect illegal settlers and settlements on the Palestinian Land ,, Do you call this protection .... and if you don't like my love for Roger Water then Tough
***** no one can say no to love!! so you can love how ever you want!!. I didn't say anything about Roger Water ?!? a blind eye?!? I was there!!! Israel has many enemy's so they don't need to look over their shoulders while they are under a war! check points are for me as an Israeli citizen so no terrorist shouldn't pass you know those check points weren't build just so Israel can torture Palestinians! sorry but Israel takes care of here citizens if you don't like it you shouldn't have commit so many terrorist attacks everything has a price as do safety, one that the Jewish conscience can handle, by the way any connection to Mohamed Awadallah from عين نقوبا Ein Nakuba?
roi turgeman
you did not reply to the illegal settlements in the west bank , no connection to ein nakuba mohammad awadallah,,,

Bravo Roger!!
Big loud applause for you Roger! You spoke for me too.
Thank you.

tarpusable,arab islam stole jewish and christian lands in 632,like always taquiya works on ignorant people who do not know ur tree and the fruit it bears.....
Much love to you, Roger Waters.
Bravo Mr Waters and thank you in the name of people of good will.
Thank you, Sir Roger Waters! You are a great musician and human rights activist!
Great speech!
Best wishes from Georgia !
Thank you for speaking so eloquently and truthfully on behalf of so many of us Roger ~ shine on!
Let those that have ears then hear!
When Roger speaks it is always a good Idea to listen I agree.
Roger Waters is sure looking like a hero to me.
Lol when Roger said "ILLUmination" , the guy right next to him was like "uh-oh he almost said the They-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named"
:D
Just when I thought I could love him any more
So important. May this be mirrored? thank you for having this up.
I like roger waters as a musician but I love him more as a person. He's a good person, and that's more important than being an accomplished songwriter.
I second those emotions, Bravo Roger Waters !
you're a legend and a great man, can't wait to see you again live!
YOU SHOULD BE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT ROGER. YOU ARE THE BEST MAN FOR THE JOB.
+Al Caselli HW pretty sure he lives in the UK
+cor nop
he lives in the US but he doesnt have US citizenship
and he wasnt born here.
and i dont think hes qualified.
RW is honorable person and great musician!❤️👏🙏💫☀️✨
Heart warming speech. sent shivers down my spine. Especially touching when he quoted the massively relevant lyrics of "The Gunners Dream" - what more can anyone want than for no one to kill the children anymore xxx
It may be time for Roger to think about entering the Senate or some form of government, I enjoyed listening to him speak at the UN more than any speech "that man", you call president trump.Roger is more informed and intelligent than trump will ever be.
Diane Guccione did you no Roger Waters has the same view as me. That if Hillary Clinton would have she would have been a lot more dangerous than Donald Trump will ever be.
Brilliant speech!
I love you Roger
Beautiful lyrics in Roger's masterpiece "The Gunner's Dream" which he references in his speech:
Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street
Where you can speak out loud
About your doubts and fears
And what's more no-one ever disappears
You never hear their standard issue kicking in your door.
You can relax on both sides of the tracks
And maniacs don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control
And everyone has recourse to the law
And no-one kills the children anymore.
Long live Palestine ! Long live Roger Waters ! Long live Pink Floyd ! Greetings from France for such a legendary band :)
roger waters i knew that you could sing, and play some of the best music ever thought of my man, but also speak so wonderfully on helping humans.
i solute you.
Thank you, Roger!
God
Nice to hear the truth of the situation
Always loved him. Love him more now. Great words. Bravo Roger ...
Roger, you are Great
THE BLEEDING HEARTS AND THE ARTISTS MAKE THEIR STAND;Roger you're more important to the world than un.
Keep on fightin'!
You've really got me interested in paying attention now.
I am from Las Vegas NV (a native), USA and I happen to agree with you 3000%.
well said bro. :)
Peace on brother.
Watching this brings me full circle in some weird sense; Pink Floyd had such an influence on me through my life, now seeing Roger stand up like this is influencing me again on a different level. Thanks for your courage Roger, we must stand up as humans and stop this genocide, for the people behind this think of us all as Palestinians.
Big respect Roger , keep the faith ! FREE PALESTINA
Thank you, Roger, for speaking for all of us who feel the selfsame way, for your lifelong determination to tear down the Wall.
Please show me where it says that particular phrase...
GOD I stould I
Up in in the mountains and sang the Wall Live in Berlin 1990
Thank you Mr Waters! you are a free man with a living conscience.
Dear Roger,
Thank you for your courage and love...I wish the world could be led by people like you...with open minds and big hearts....you are not only music genius, you are also love genius...thanks for the energy...now we can become stronger and fight for all children and former childrens lives....
Thank you for your comment.
Perhaps the tide will turn, but what damage will have been done by the time it does is anyone's guess.
Take care.
subtitulos porfavor!!! gracias
21:50 Truth. Unbearable, painful, shameful truth.
Roger Waters is an intellectual who has an excellent command of the English language. His style of thought and expression is unique. He is the master mind of Pink Floyd.
that was the short version? holy shit. how long is the full version?
Roger Waters. A man on the path of the true human being. ❤✌
If I were in the room that day, I too would have got up from my seat to come and shake your hand, Mr Roger Waters! *Very well stated speech*
I lived to see The Wall Live in Berlin by Roger Water
This entire issue is specifically addressed in the above video, which you clearly did not watch. See 4:45
This and only this gives us hope in humanity
Beautiful and Amazing that Roger was allowed to speak so eloquently to the world on behalf of the Palestinian people!~
intresting when i try and comment about this it says error and wont let me.
As I have found the music you've shared with the world to be above all realms of reality lifting our imagination to higher levels,,,As well I find this speech, the eloquence and insight it has been brought forth to those that dare listen ,to be unparalleled to many a person. I thank you for your forthrightedness and I applaude that.
It's one thing writing such unbelievable music that will live on forever; it's another thing altogether being brave enough to do what's right!
have you been watching the news?
Wow, here in America his great speech was almost totally ignored. (No surprise there!) I found it by accident here on RUclips. Tear down the wall!!
Has it been recorded!?
Who knows about it,
Boris,Donald,
I wish many artists and celebrities voice out like Roger does. love from the usa.
If I ever encounter this great man, I would bow to him.
We are all the same, humans on a very small planet in a very big universe. We need to find a way to share it peacefully.
Are you familiar with the King Crane Commission? Fascinating stuff, most people haven't heard of it but it's important...
love ya roger, i see Rachel ....smiling ! schukran gasilan !!!
Thank you Roger Waters
I'm impressed. Great statement for justice for the Palestinians
Well agreed as well. Peace..."
Does anyone have a link to the text of this speech?

And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear.
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.
"Unalienable rights"
His Words reflets his music
Roger,Thanks.
Well said.
All rockstars are equal, but some rockstars are more equal than others.
Well done indeed Roger. You said the things well worth saying and so seldom said by the much more craven polititians of this world. I've followed your progress since 1968 and I must say this was one of your proudest and most impressive moments. Bravo!
Clever as usually
He is very well informed and the statement ''when IT started...'' is very, very true! I recommend everyone to watch this and really LISTEN. Well done!
Time cube?
How?
A great human being... Who is supporting the weak... He is an amazing musician, we need more intelligent people like him... Love you Roger 💕
Bless you, Roger.
yup he dose that my freind hes been witing about the subject for 30 years
Roger, your actions match your music... and then some. On behalf of compassionate, humane, civilized people everywhere, thank you. We love you for all you do. Play on!
Did you know you can sync this speech with the wizard of oz?
how inspiring, only if countries, organisations and their leaders listen to this and took action
We must not forget Mr. Arigoni!
What can I say, the man hates Walls
