not anymore... I even erased my pink floyd ringtone.. miserable piece of garbage this is what happens when new age secularist atheists realize they cannot erase or replace the Jewish people and faith...
2. Waters Lost His Way
Nili ,   Jerusalem   (07.25.13)
You keep talking of "legitimate" criticism. Excuse me, but he never criticised when a family, including the babies were slaughtered by PA haters! Nothing is said of the daily attacks on Israelis, or the manic hatred that holds all Arabs in its clutches. Waters is a has been musician, and an Israel Hater~nothing more..
3. a clear message.......
tiki ,   belgium   (07.25.13)
For those from the Israeli Left & apologizers who still don't understand where the ''we are only against the Israeli politics against the Palestinians" comes from. Good morning to your all! It's against YOU, not against the politics!
4. We should consider a law suit

5. Waters lost his way?
Tim ,   Brighton   (07.25.13)
More like Waters lost his marbles Embittered by the break up of Floyd of his own making, frustrated by the lack of any more musical success, becoming more crotchety and unstable by the day - mumbling and rambling to himself often, angered by so many failed personal relationships - he now seeks mental refuge in his racist obsession with Israel and Jews The poor doddering has been - overcome by his own delusional sense of self importance - even claiming to say that 'The Whole Rock World LISTENS to me' ..closes the Chapter on the broken and pathetic life of a once Pop Superstar
6. Waters is yet another "has been" turning Jew hater.
robert ,   belgium   (07.25.13)
It happens to people with frustration over own failures. Unfortunately.

8. Wake up!
Ram ,   London   (07.25.13)
So now he has even offended ultra left leaning liberal Jews bordering on self-hate? Wake up ALL Jews and start to understand you have to be untied and ALWAYS stand up for Israel. Let criticism remain internal.

leonmen ,   meitar Israel   (07.25.13)
Arab propaganda is so much filled with antisemitic statements that it is hardly surprising Mr Waters, never the most sophisticated of individuals, would become this way himself. Intelligence is not part and parcel of being a rock star. Even to one that that styles himself as 'deep thinker'.
10. Waters is, was, and always will be
Reuven   (07.25.13)
a no good, anti-Semitic bum!
11. Waters will end up like Helen Thomas
Dror ,   Haifa, Israel   (07.25.13)
I actually had to do a search on google to remind me of the old dead witches name which I had already forgotten... Wait a minute, what is this this guys name? Oh, David Waters, shoot I forgot.. chhhh Hahahah LMAO
12. The first sign of..
Beary White ,   Norway   (07.25.13)
..brain degradation is what Waters is exposing to the world. He should be protected from himself of making himself a loonatic. Of coarse he would be a nice object to an israeli brain-specialist. Might be his brain has shrunk into the size of a croc. Newspapers should stop writing abouth him, to protect him...
13. Roger Waters is alive?
BUILD BABY BUILD !!! ,   United States   (07.25.13)
Who cares? A one hit wonder in the 60's. Behold the ( snicker ) man. The only way to garner cheap publicity for a has been no body. Watch this nothing fall deeper into obscurity.
14. just goes to show...
nadav ,   tlv   (07.25.13)
he's become yet another useful idiot who knows NOTHING about history, Israel, Jews, Islamic-Arab colonialism, etc. Also, the fact that pig balloons with the Star of David were released during his concert only just shows his BDS supporters- if not he himself, are racist, anti-semites- using a typical antisemitic motif equating Jews with swine....
15. ROGER WATERS' INTELLECTUAL DECLINE LIKE MANY OTHER HAS-BEENS
Nowhere Man ,   Metropolis, Zion.   (07.25.13)
16. I will not go
cristian ,   Bucharest, Romania   (07.25.13)
I am very disappointed. Roger Waters will perform in Bucharest on August 28 but after what happened in Belgium I will not go to the concert.
17. Roger Waters didn't loose his way!
Dee Bee ,   Israel   (07.25.13)
He is British and we all know that hatred of Jews has always been rampant in England. Evidence of this goes back to the 12 Century - the Expulsion of the Jews. Muslims butcher Muslims on a daily basis but no a word from Waters but Jews defend themselves from the Palestinians who are intent on destroying Israel and the Jewish people, and Waters opens his hypocritical mouth with Elvis Costello, Ken Livingston, Annie Lennox and the others on the Hate the Jews Bandwagon in the chorus! Maybe he should sing the praise of Islam to the family of Drummer Lee Rigby, the British soldier decapitated by Waters' Muslim hero! Roger Waters was born an Anti-Semite and that's that! It should be noted that Waters was no too shy to accept Israeli money when he appeared in Israel!
18. who actualy love israel
adam adam ,   earth planet   (07.25.13)
no one on this world love apartheid country and others people land thief
19. Misleading title: "Peace" activist IS Israel hater
(07.25.13)
20. Waters didn't lose his way. He is plain evil.
Chaim ,   Israel   (07.25.13)
Water is not a good man who lost his way. He is plain evil.
21. All individualls Mature - to the Bad or to the Good !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (07.25.13)
22. Waters should have a picture of himself on his greedy pig
k ,   Us   (07.25.13)
he charges $200 a ticket to see him in concert, o yea and he lip syncs for a good portion of it, anything to keep the deflection off of him
23. waters......
oded ,   usa   (07.25.13)
a muiscal genious yet a mentally unstable man. needs a lot of"diamonds" to cure his illness.
24. The Wall
Avi Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (07.25.13)
These are the lyrics from the epic album 'The Wall' (released in 1979). "There's one in the spotlight, he don't look right to me, Get him up against the wall! That one looks Jewish!... Who let all of this riff-raff into the room? There's one smoking a joint, And another with spots! If I had my way, I'd have all of you shot!" Liberals at the time stated, that Waters was just trying to raise awareness of Racism and antisemitism. Of course Waters made no comment at his concert regarding a floating pig with a Jewish Star. But, could you just imagine what would have happened if that pig contained a Crescent and 5 sided star instead? Or, if Waters or someone else dared to re-write 'The Wall' and replaced the word Jew with Muslim? It would make the Danish newspaper cartoon riots look like a walk in the park.
25. Waters lost his way
mat ,   uk   (07.25.13)
waters should go and see a psychiatrist doctor and ask him why he is picking on Israel and not other countries like Syria some African countries etc.
26. 6 Robert, Very true.Idem anti-haredim.
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (07.25.13)
27. Make Pig Balloons with his face on it
RacistPigRevealed ,   Jerusalem Israel   (07.25.13)
28. Sooner or later...
Raoul ,   Israel   (07.25.13)
those antisemites that profess they are only being critical of Israel and nothing more will take off their gloves and leave their ugly fingerprints.
29. Israel has lost it's way
Ethan Schwartz ,   Eilat   (07.25.13)
I condemn what Waters did but the situation on the occupied people is getting worse and the Israelis that live in the territories are becoming more repugnant, most of them not but too many of them yes. The Arrests of children has become a major embarrassment. It is wrong and is being used effectively against us.
30. Who gives a damn????
Phoenix ,   Israel   (07.25.13)
The guy writing these articles about waters is in loved with him and des appointed about his hero being a disgusting antisemite... "Lost his way" give me a break! Pathetic!
