Pink Floyd star Roger Waters has suggested a US Jewish billionaire was a “puppet master” influencing the US President Donald Trump in an interview on a Hamas-affiliated news network.

The English musician told the Shehab News Agency that billionaire Sheldon Adelson was a “puppet master” who was “pulling the strings of Donald Trump, [Secretary of State] Mike Pompeo, and what’s his name…the ambassador, Greenberg [sic].”

Mr Waters went on to describe Mr Adelson as a “right-wing fascist racist bigot” who “believes that only Jews, only Jewish people, are completely human…and everybody else on Earth is there to serve them.”

He also repeated the claim that the killing of George Floyd by a police officer in Minneapolis, which sparked widespread anger and protest, had been done using a technique invented by the Israeli military and taught to the US police by “Israeli experts”.
