“In fact, [it’s relevant] to all victims of settler colonialism everywhere, always.”
Mr Waters' previous statements on Israel have been met with controversy and claims that he is antisemitic.
He compared the Israeli government to Nazi Germany and has also angered Jewish groups for using a pig-shaped balloon with symbols, including a Star of David, at one of his concerts.
Rabbi Abraham Cooper of the Simon Wiesenthal Center denounced the balloon as a “grotesque display of Jew-hatred” and called the musician an “open hater of Jews.”
In a video Mr Waters was asked what he would say about South Africans who claim that describing Israel as apartheid is insulting to their experience.
In his response, the musician called such people “entirely ignorant” and said “it’s hard not to go back to [Joseph] Goebbels,” the Nazi minister of propaganda. “The tactic is to tell the big lie as often as possible over and over and over again.”
Mr Waters recorded his latest song with Le Trio Joubran in Paris and London after President Trump's declaration last December.
