Of Course it's Roger Waters that is a big-time anti-Semite. He's getting quite the reputation. When I saw that he was an English musician, I was not surprised. England held the mandate for Palestine from 1917 to 1948 when Israel was voted upon and declared a state. They were given the mandate to see to it that the Jewish Homeland was created out of Palestine and managed to lose 80% of it to Transjordan before May 14, 1948. Before that, England had been decidedly not overeager about Jews.
In 1290 Any Jew living in England was expulsed. The earlier Crusades had a lot to do with this decision.that took place in 1096 and 1099. It was the first European country to do so. France and then Spain followed suit. You've heard of Abie's Irish Rose. Well, for an Englishman to marry a Jewish girl back in the 50's was an even worse deal. Come to think of it, it wasn't good for the Jews, either!
So it is not a surprise to me that the co-founder of Pink Floyd, George Roger Waters, 70 year old English musician, singer, songwriter and composer should feel antagonistic towards Jews and Israel. Being the first rate seller of albums must have gone to his head. Evidently he's one who listens to gossip and propaganda instead of doing his own investigations. He may be a great musician but he has accepted the worst of Nazi beliefs.
Waters has taken on an attitude towards Israel and has been very outspoken about Middle Eastern politics now that he's a great musician. One doesn't have anything to do with the other except that people hang onto whatever he says. In June 2009 he openly opposed the Israeli West Bank barrier saying that it was an obscenity and should be torn down. That year he pledged his support to the Gaza Freedom March. In 2011 he announced that he had joined the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel. Now he was disillusioned with UK foreign policy since Wilson.
He pulled the biggest boner in 2010, though. He used the images of the Star of David during performances of The Wall. Criticism of this caused him to write an open letter to The Independent where he said, "If I don't respond, people will see the story and will come to believe I'm anti-Semitic, and I'm not. Nothing could be further from the truth. Usually anti-Semites deny that they are. He's not the first to say this. Others besides myself find that most people highly critical of Israel are also feeling the same way towards Jews. Since Israel is a Jewish state, one cannot mean one aspect and not the other.
His reasoning was that the artwork used during his shows is from other religious and national interests besides Jewish ones. . He said that he thought you could attack Israeli policy without being anti-Jewish. He compared it to criticising the US policy and that says you are being anti-Christian. I don't see it like that even though the comparison is similar. He has taken the side of the enemy of Israel, the Palestinians who are making war on Israel and they are Muslims. The USA is not at war with Canada or Mexico or the Central Americans or even South America. You cannot just erase one country and dub in another. It's what the countries or people are standing for that makes the difference.
Now we get to his belief-a belief he probably has come by talking with friends of like thinking and not from serious research. involving reading. He says he "is critical of the Israeli policy of occupying Palestinian land and their policy of building settlements, which is entirely illegal under international law, and also of ghettoising the people whose land they are building on.....It's that foreign policy I'm against. It's nothing to do with the religion." Also, getting paranoid about the USA and Israel, he let it out of the bag that he thought the American media was under instructions from somewhere not to report any criticism of Israel to the American public, on what grounds I cannot guess.
Since I have covered all aspects of his beliefs in my 3 blog articles, I won't take time to go over them again here but to say that they are entirely false. As for international law, I can show as many lawyers saying that Israel is in the right as he can show me lawyers who say otherwise. It's funny, but the Christian attitude has always been that Judaism has too many laws. Yes, we have that sort of mind. We like laws to follow, and being such a people, have produced a lot of lawyers in our 4,000 years of existence. One thing that Israel did was to satisfy itself that what it was doing was legal, being they are considered the legal Eagles. If Waters would do a little more investigating, he might have read about why Israel has taken this stand.
As sane as you may find this reasoning, you might even agree with it yourself, being new at finding facts for debate purposes. Waters and his road crew showed their true feelings on July 20, 2013 during a concert in Belgium by releasing a pig-shaped balloon that had been painted with a Star of David. This is saying that Jews are pigs. We all know that like the Muslims, Jews do not eat any meat of a pig. In fact, our "law" about pigs came from Moses 1,891 years before Islam came into the world with Mohammad. That law is still on the books for us. So now, their comment of not being anti-Semitic has turned into garbage. They just trashed their own defense.
To make matters even worse-oh yes, on the balloon were also political symbols such as the Star of David, of course, and fascist, communist and capitalist representations. It floated over the audience while Waters sang the lyrics to "In the Flesh"; "Get him up against the wall, that one looks Jewish and that one's a coon, who let all of this riff-raff into the room". He sang this while he was wearing a long black leather jacket with a red-and white arm band reminiscent of the Nazi uniform. He got away with this in Belgium. Being who he is to young people (I had never heard of him and I'm in his age group, but from the USA). he was espousing anti-Semitic propaganda to incite hatred against Jews, and also of Israel. This is the way that the Nazis used to do it.
Utterly disappointing it is that Waters tells us he has been using the pig balloon at every Wall Show since September 2010 for 193 shows and he had never heard one complaint. A spokesman for the Anti-Defamation League had little to say about it and stated "while we wish that Mr. Waters would have avoided using the Star of David, we believe there is no anti-Semitic intent here." I believe there is. Big Time. So I'm not a politician, just a teacher of 47 years and a history buff as well as a holder of dual citizenship with the USA and Israel. I've learned that you cannot separate the 2 of Jew and Israel in someone's thoughts. It is the world's only Jewish country, after all.
Asked about why he joined the BDS group, he said he said it was because of the power of the "Jewish Lobby." Then he compared Israel's government with the Nazis. He had at one time lived in the USA and found his ideas were a hard sell there. He said that the Jewish Lobby was in the music industry and in rock'n roll. That's such a package of crap that I can't believe what I've read. AIPAC is known as the Jewish Lobby, Israel's only lobby group speaking up for them, and they are not in the music business.
Waters went on to accuse Israel of all sorts of heinous crimes and kept comparing Nazi genocide with Israel's policy. He said, the situation in Israel/Palestine, with the occupation, the ethnic cleansing and the systematic racist apartheid Israeli regime is unacceptable." This tells me he knows nothing, and has no facts at all, which would exclude all this nonsense. It's all pure ugly lying propaganda.
Even our fear of Iran's nuclear program to him is a "diversionary tactic" and claimed that Israel doesn't want peace with the Arabs. "They've always had the Ben Gurion agenda of kicking all the Arabs out of the country and becoming greater Israel," he said. This is right out of the Arab propaganda mill. I don't know, maybe that after having 4 wives, he has now taken up with some Arab girls who are feeding this rot to him.
Silly Israel. He says that a top Israeli promoter, Shuki Weiss, invited him to perform there, but that he told Cindy Lauper, pop icon, to cancel an upcoming performance. He turned down a chance to play in Tel Aviv and turned down an offer of 10 million dollars (a hundred thousand people at one hundred dollars a ticket a few months ago) Only because he belongs to the BDS movement was Israel saved from him.
Like Rabbi Cooper said, Waters is a bigot. Oh, since the complaints came from the Jews, he has added a crucifix and star-crescent to the pig.
Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli told him to remove her picture from videos at his concerts. If you're going to boycott, then go all the way, she tweeted him. The law in the US Department of State says, "Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis," is considered anti-Semitic. So there!
