In Response To @RogerWaters: Last week Waters made a false and disgraceful claim that the White Helmets, Syria’s first responders, staged the April 7 2018 chemical attack on the city of Douma. 1/ 
Waters' use of his platform and his privilege as a celebrity, white man and millionaire to smear Syrian rescue workers is disgraceful and has serious consequences for the protection of humanitarian workers who are being deliberately targeted by the Syrian regime and Russia 2/
More than 250 White Helmets have been killed in Syria, the majority in double tap strikes 3/
Roger Waters has given himself the right to speak on behalf of Syrians who have risked and continue to risk their lives to speak up against atrocities of Assad, ISIS and other extremists. It is survivors of Douma chemical attack who should be listened to 4/
Roger Waters thinks he knows better than Syrian civilians who have survived chemical attacks, barrel bombs and relentless airstrikes and who consider the White Helmets heroes, saviours and angels 5/
While Roger Waters was tweeting from the comfort of his own home, the @SyriaCivilDef were responding to escalation of regime and Russian airstrikes in northwest Syria, digging people out from under the rubble of their homes 6/
Smears against humanitarian workers like the White Helmets clear the ground for them to be targeted and set the scene for Syrian regime and Russian war crimes. Please report Roger Waters' disinformation on White Helmets as *false news* here: facebook.com/rogerwaters/vi…
If you want to hear from the survivors of chemical attacks, or the heroes who help save them, speak to us and we can help. If not - please stop your smears and attacks. They hurt more than you can know.
