Roger Waters 'said take away the Jew food' at restaurant in Lebanon

Roger Waters has been accused of making antisemitic comments including describing a vegetarian meal as "Jew food", according to a new investigation.

Norbert Stachel, Mr Waters’ former saxophonist, described a meal during a tour in Lebanon at which only vegetarian dishes had been served: “Finally the twelfth or thirteenth dish came out.

"The waiter seemed intimidated already by the attitude and personalities and the loudness and the kinda arrogance and finally this dish comes and Roger kinda pushes it with his arm and he goes: ‘That’s it! That’s it! Where’s the meat? Where’s the meat? What’s with this? This is Jew food! What’s with the Jew food! Take away the Jew food!’"

"And I’m just sitting there: ‘Oh boy,’ you know, tongue tied again and kind of in a panic.”

The interview was part of an investigation by Campaign Against Antisemitism.

Other allegations include an e-mail from Roger Waters in which he proposed writing “Dirty k***” on an inflatable pig habitually floated above his concerts.

He is also accused of suggested “bombing” audiences with confetti in the shape of swastikas, Stars of David, dollar signs and other symbols.
