To call a guy antisemitic for standing up against an apartheid state is wild. Has he ever said anything actually antisemitic? Please find me that. The Wall was condemning nazism. Do you understand how context works?
He suggested Ukraine sue for peace while torn apart by Vladolf’s war of aggression. He’s ok with naked fascism consuming other nations.

Yes, he's a pacifist. Like most of the left before Obama took office. Remember Crimea?

It's not that he criticized Israel, it's how he did it.

The Wall was basically a Waters autobiography. What was the headspace of the protagonist at the end?

Few antisemites come out and actually say what they mean. I doubt I would find a quote from Waters explicitly denouncing Jewish people.

Given your straw man and ad hominem, I don't think you really want to know. Just to convince others of what you think.

Bold font helps people understand. Good move.

How many antisemites make a rock opera condemning nazism?

He seems to be here to push a perspective, not to examine it. The string of non sequitur about 40+ -year-old music fits in with it.

I never took the wall album as a commentary on fascism or authoritarianism, seemed more about wrestling with one's own mental demons.
