So two different people on two different occasions heard him say something antisemitic, but unless someone else was around to corroborate something that was said 20 years ago, it’s not reasonable enough to assume he ever said anything antisemitic.
Does he have to literally start goosestepping and shouting, “Jüden Raus” while doing a guest spot on The Tonight Show or something? I mean what exactly would convince you that maybe, just maybe, Roger Waters doesn’t like Jews?
I’m not sure I believe the anecdotal evidence of a former producer. I reserve judgement until further evidence is provided
That first-hand account about the “Jew food” thing from his bandmate isn’t good enough evidence for you either?
No on its own it isn’t. First of all I’d like to see Waters respond and secondly I’d like to see more than one person relate the account.
I am old enough to remember the hit job done on Jeremy Corbyn for expressing support for Palestinians.

Would second former bandmate Dave Gilmour also calling him an antisemite be enough? https://variety.com/2023/music/news/roger-waters-antisemitic-says-polly-samson-david-gilmour-agrees-pink-floyd-ukraine-1235515432/
Would the leaked email where he suggested writing an anti-Jewish slur on an inflatable pig at his concert be enough? https://antisemitism.org/caa-releases-roger-waters-dirty-k-e-mail-and-interviews-with-former-associates-in-new-expose-documentary/
How about the fact that Frankfurt tried to ban his concert for being antisemitic after he appeared on stage elsewhere in Germany with a Nazi-like uniform plus had a pig with a Star of David on it and Waters went to court to get the show put back on? https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/apr/25/roger-waters-pink-floyd-wins-legal-battle-to-gig-in-frankfurt-amid-antisemitism-row

I typed out a long response and then I reconsidered. Honestly I don’t give a rats ass what you think about this. I stand by my original statement.
I will wait for Waters to comment and I will reevaluate if more information comes to light. You however are free to drink the Kool-Aid.
Because, of course, it’s impossible for anyone to hate Jews just for being Jews. When has that ever happened?
