Ros ,   Israel, Modiin   (09.29.10)
Name ONE war that was started by the name of Judaism, all the wars in the last 50 years were started by Muslim Arabs in an attempt to eradicate Israel, Israel is fighting for survival and being condemned for this worldwide! world is one hypocritical being..

36. Well done Mr Waters
Dan   (09.30.10)
#33 grow up and educate yourself in life. You are an angry little hate monger doing nothing for your cause or the plight of Isreal
37. The only fool in the room is you#33
Dan   (09.30.10)
My IQ is 142 my guess is you would be lucky to break 90 enjoy your pathetic little life as a Jewish hate monger
38. Rap artiste?
Dan   (09.30.10)
What a conrtidiction rap and artiste strung together like that LOL the only fool in the room is you
39. Dear Mr. Waters #5
Dan   (09.30.10)
I suggest that mr rap artiste crawl back under the middle eastern rock from which he came. The show was in North America where Mr. Waters is free to comment on what he wishes. Keep your nose out of American affairs
40. Has anyone actually seen the show?
Dan   (09.30.10)
I have in Chicago and I suggest anyone commenting on here does as well specifically LAWRENCE educate yourself then I will be waiting for the apology and Foxman"s resignation
41. non-compliance = anti-semetisim wtf?
Alexander ,   NJ, USA   (09.29.10)
He's making a political statement and a naive one at that. So he doesn't agree with the wall or the Jewish state that doesn't make him an anti-Semite. He's not preaching for the systematic killing of Jews like some Pal's are. He's just looking forward to a better tomorrow where there will be no need for a wall, which can only happen when Pal's take control of their own destiny and rise to the challenges that terrorism presents. They are as much victims of Hamas and Fatah as Jews in Israel are. I don't like how he's turning a profit from the misfortune of Pal's and not really addressing the real issue which is not the wall, but the cause for the wall; Palestinian terrorism against the Jewish State and the civilian population. That wall which is mobile so it can be removed rather easily and quickly has saved too many lives to be torn down just because Palestinians don't like the view they get.
42. artists and political commentary
Barney ,   USA   (09.30.10)
while many talented artists, costello, santanna, waters etc. have much to offer in terms of their art you must realize that their understanding of politics, issues of terrorism etc is nothing more that their digestion of popular sound bites that allow them to grab the attention they need to help them promote their art. you can't take them seriously on these issues. they quite simply are clueless and always take the side of the "perceived" underdog as that is what garners them the attention of the most liberal art freaks. waters commentary on "walls" in general is probably aimed at all religions as a basis for conflict, money as a basis for conflict etc. it is a generalization that doesn't require the real understanding of a complex situation. you flatter them by taking them seriously on these issues. i wouldn't take them any more seriously than khadaffy and achmadinemajad in the un. music they might know and that doesn't qualify them as experts on anything else except maybe sex and drugs.
43. boycott israel
fred ,   can   (09.30.10)
anything artists can do helps spread the word; boycott israel
44. # 41 WELL PUT
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (09.30.10)
We all look forward to a better tomorrow ,not just Roger Waters .And I don't think he is necessarily anti -semitic .Absolutely true that the common palestinian man / woman is a poor victim as well as common israelis. When palestinians accept our rights to live in our homeland in peace ,there will no longer be a need for ugly walls.
45. roger waters
a watson ,   turkish rep northern   (09.30.10)
its a shame the wall does not preventing the killing of palistinians
46. He knows his audience
Mea   (09.30.10)
He had to chose a Wall, obvious, chose the Jew one. Maybe he decided that based upon the anti-semitcism of his audience, which is no secret. Walters can go down in hisotry as another person who, instead of delving more deeply and understanding why the wall works (and therefore stops the indoctrination and outright kidnapping of potential bombers as well as lives of Israelis) he joined in the goose stepping and soldout his most famous work to anti semiticism. I don't believe Walters is very smart. But then again, most racists look pretty small and ugly when they take the cloak off.
47. # 45 YOU ARE DELUDED
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (09.30.10)
What are you talking about ,killing palestinians ?? no palestinians are being killed .Please stop your lies .
48. # 37 I SUGGEST YOU CALM DOWN
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (09.30.10)
If your IQ is 142 ,and I am not disputing that ,then I am genuinely happy for you .I do not consider my life as pathetic and sincerely hope I am not a hate monger.I seem to have hit a raw nerve with you ,don't take things too much to heart .
49. # 30 DAN THE MAN ,
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (09.30.10)
I feel I was out of order by insulting you when I rudely called you a Fool so please accept my apology .I do not feel good insulting a fellow talk backer and reader and yes ,we do sometimes over-react to what was ,a questionable provocation i.e. Roger Waters .At the end of the day ,it is unimportant and not worth insulting a fellow .I am unafraid of you but simply felt bad about what I said .
50. War and Peace
moshe bar noach ,   london canada   (10.01.10)
Evil that lurks in the hearts and minds of men, this is the cause of war and injustice in this world.
51. Waters performance is an "obscenity"
Cynthia ,   USA   (10.01.10)
You need not be a rocket scientist to understand why Israel built the security fence. This successful deterrent to terror sends Waters into a fit of rage. Let's see him give this performance after witnessing a homicide bombing.
52. Waters
Carol ,   USA   (10.01.10)
Why in the world does anyone care what a stupid rock and roll socalled singer belches, says, or does?They are usually brain dead from alcohol and drugs. It is ridiculous for Israel to bother about him, anyway.
53. Waters
Hal ,   Usa   (10.01.10)
You would think that such a committed humanitarian such as but not exclusive to this Britisher would be treying to undo the great misery that was inflicted on the world in the name of the British Empire. This ruthless greed machine is unparalled in history and the blowback from it is felt all over the globe. How much misery and war in the Middle East was and is a result of the British pursuit of Empire? The folly of the Brits that seem to find fault in others while ignoring their own past deeds is only surpassed by the Spanish who were even more brutal. In a stone throwing event , they should be dead last among nations. Even the Germans have owned up and try to make amends.
54. You're confusing us Israelis
Occupied Israel   (10.01.10)
with Western-Europeans. We're familiar with the Muslim culture and respect it. It's the people in western europe who freeze every time they come across a muslim. what are you on about?
55. roger waters
Dick Powell ,   Las Vegas, USA   (10.01.10)
is roger waters a new correspondent for yidiot achronot and ha'aretz ?
56. Well done Roger! Dont ;ike stop the illegal occupation
ez   (10.01.10)
57. This makes the ADL look like kooks
mooshhhh ,   Shaker Hts, OH USA   (10.01.10)
Are you nuts? I saw the Roger Waters' show on Tuesday (in Cleveland) and there is NO WAY you could say that the presentation was anti-semitic. It is clear that nobody at the ADL has seen the show, otherwise they'd know that the presentation of symbols being dropped from the bomber planes included: "Hammer & Sickle", Muslim Crescent Moon, Star of David, US Dollar symbol, Christian cross, Shell Oil logo, Mercedes Benz logo. For anyone to imply that the sequence of these symbols is anti-semitic... well it strains credulity. In fact, it makes the ADL seem like out of touch kooks. See Roger Waters' response to Mr. Foxman. It is well reasoned and thoughtful, unlike this unwarranted attack on Waters.
58. Some details missing
Simorg   (10.05.10)
In the video you can see here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kj1dDBIDLOA&feature=player_embedded There is not only the "star of david" but also Shell's logo, christ symbol and other symbol of our capitalist world, religious and communist symbol.
59. Foxman needs to go
Dan   (10.06.10)
The ADL is issued its condemnation of the kargest private effort to bring peace to the world in world history. Thats right Rogers show simpmly ays enough killing and hatred but Foxman rejects peace. Isreal must demand his resignation
