Musicians Brian Eno and Roger Waters have launched an extraordinary defence of director Ken Loach, controversial academic David Miller and other hard-left figures, claiming they were the victims of “made up” charges of antisemitism created by Israel.

The Pink Floyd star branded the concerns of the British Jewish community over antisemitism a “smear sword that was wielded at the behest of the Israeli government”.

And record producer Mr Eno insisted that charges of antisemitism aimed at the left were “worthless” and designed to silence those who “question what is happening in Palestine”.

The tirades came during the monthly on-line talk show, Let’s Talk It Over, during a discussion called ‘Israeli Apartheid’.
