1. Brazilian singers
Keren Il-BR   (03.23.13)
Waters is right. I am doing the same to avoid bringing Brazilian artists to Israel. No time for entertainment while millions of Palestinians are dying under Israeli pressure and apartheid policies.
2. This "boycott the Jews" reminds one of some of the darkest
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (03.23.13)
days of European civilization..., and no matter whether the call comes from: 1. Classic anti-Semites 2. "Progressive" anti-Jewish racists 3. 7th century-based Islamists The three elements in society that together constitute the UNHOLY TRINITY.
3. Pinko Floyd
Arturo   (03.23.13)
Burning my Flloyd albums. Watrers has blinded Stevie Wonder into lefty intolerance.
4. It's a lie:Stevie cannot read, he's blind.Waters can't think
tom ,   tel aviv   (03.23.13)
he's lacking the neccessary brain cells to facilitate that function. On a serious note: this is a taxtbook example of how people gifted in one direction can be REALLY incapacitated in other, mental processes. What can one do? Throw away all Pink Floyd stuff? No way, but please, do not spend one penny on anything related to Mr.Waters! He does not like "the Jew", that's been clear for many years now.
5. Love from Gazza (Wish You Were Here)

11. British Nazi Roger Waters is the moral equivalent
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (03.23.13)

12. Waters is just stirring up hate -
Miki ,   Tel Aviv   (03.23.13)
What is needed is mutual understanding . Where are all these "millions" of Palestinian bodies Keren #1? Why are Palestinians doing everything they can to move to Israel and away from Palestine? In Palestine, they can be killed with no trial, they don't have health care or national insurance pensions. They don't have municipal services - not because of Israel - I'm talking about areas of jurisdiction under their own autonomous control. The leaders keep their people in bad conditions and use that as a tool to manipulate their people to hate Israel. If Palestinians are busy hating Israel, then they won't want to rise up against their corrupt and despotic leaders. Waters and Keren are so politically naive and gullible, shame on them.
13. Go Israel, we love you
Joan ,   New Zealand   (03.23.13)
Who is Roger Waters? Never heard of him - Sadly he needs educating whoever he is.
14. Truth!!! click!
hayim ,   jerusalem   (03.23.13)
all the Arabs in Israel are originally nomad beduins that settles around Jewish centers because of business potential . Except a couple of locations like Jaffa , Jerusalem and Gaza , Apartheid was Europeans taking over Africa , Jews are returning exiles to their own LAND!!!
15. Shame on Waters
Ilana   (03.23.13)
He obviously does not have a depth of understanding of what is happening here and why. He fell into the trap of identifying with the real bullies by drowning quickly in their propaganda, twists of history and complete fabrications.
16. This is the man who penned the deep lyrics"We don't need no
tom ,   tel aviv   (03.23.13)
education" and the rest of the intellectually midgety "Dark Side of the Moon" (I grant: the music was good!) He obviously lives his sour life by this creed! Yes, the man radiates negative vibes in all directions (even before becoming Ambassador of the Antisemitic Leauge of Nations). What a "mazal" that I never owned a Pink Floyd record :-) A huge, inflatable PIG with his unshaven head on it would be appropriate at Rabin Sq.
17. This twat is the Michael Moore of Rock. I'm mad!
tom ,   tel aviv   (03.23.13)
18. Ynet dont give publicity to this clown!!!
avner ,   tel aviv   (03.23.13)
without publicity his message will not be heard
19. Even British Police dont have Balls anymore
Alan ,   SA   (03.23.13)
20. #1 says "millions of Palestinians are dying " Where ? In Syr
  (03.23.13)
21. The devastating lasting effects of drugs...
Andre ,   Clichy, France   (03.23.13)
The devastating lasting effects of all these drugs he took for years... And anyway, who cares about an untalented accompanying bass player ? Millions of them around !
22. #12
Jarda ,   Czech Republic   (03.23.13)
"Why are Palestinians doing everything they can to move to Israel and away from Palestine? " Great question. Because it's PALESTINE and you are intruders who came there to steal their land. Is it clear?
23. Roger Waters
Adam ,   London   (03.23.13)
Waters is a child, he understands very little apart from feeding his own ego, this behaviour has grown worse as he gets older. The way he behaved in the 1980s against Dave Gilmour and especially Nick Mason in Pink Floyd show what an idiot he can be. That time he was made to look stupid as the others went on and continued to tour and sell millions of recordings very nicely without his big head in the way.
24. It's about time to ban Pink Floyd songs in Israel
Ron ,   Singapore   (03.23.13)
25. #22
eii ,   Newton USA   (03.23.13)
The only thing that is clear is that you do not know what your are talking about.
26. Roger Waters
Jeffrey ,   Israel   (03.23.13)
Rich but clueless! Better men than he have performed here. He should study the situation before he makes these outrageous comments.
27. #2 Thats a lazy argument
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (03.23.13)
I think the whole BDS movement is a natural progression ofor our behaviour towards the alestinian people, and people like you are spitting out their dummies because you think that you should act with impunity. It is the exact same mindset that we saw in South Africa in the 1970's and 1980's. As modern technology meant that people saw what tools of repression are used they organised the only thing they could. They ensured that the Apartheid regime would not benefit from their money. The BDS campaign is not targetting Israel as a whole only the people in the settlements whom should not be allowed to profit from the occupation. And before you say it is all Israel it is not, you are confusing biblical Israel with the Israel created by the United Nations in 1948
28. # 2, what they don't realize is that Jews will no
Deb J. Goldfarb ,   Ottawa, Canada   (03.23.13)
