61. Waters is repulsive
Lina ,   USA   (07.26.13)
Years of drugs and alcohol obviously left him without judgment. Cannot understand how he thinks it's OK to insult Jews or anyone else during a concert. Imagine if he painted an Islamic symbol on the pig? He'd be banned from the music industry. Moral of the story, don't waste your money on Waters.
62. Puke Floyd
Ezra ,   San Diego   (07.26.13)
Waters is a fool. He needs to shut his trap or move to Gaza where (he thinks) he belongs.
63. We know he's an Antisemite and he has crossed the line
Laila ,   Montreal, Canada   (07.26.13)
We know he's an Antisemite and he has crossed the line. But as he is British he thinks it's normal.
64. #37
nachman ,   Israel   (07.26.13)
Another rabid mentally challenged anti-Semitic Islamist with a western name?
65. #59 ,...
split ,   US   (07.27.13)
"1 million Jews who lived in the Arab-Maghreb countries and lost everything" ,... Good ! If they allowed you to stay under their roof and in return you have stabbed them in the back by siding with the invaders and colonialists you deserve nothing except hate and one way ticket to nowhere ,...
66. #65 Split: Jews were oppressed people
Tom W ,   USA   (07.27.13)
It's only natural, that diaspora Jews who were oppressed and victimized in pogroms - including those who suffered and died at the hands of Poles in ghettos - joined their brethren in their free, own country. Nobody but the leftists want to live as Dhimmies under Muslim rule and pay special taxes to be tolerated on the land of Dar al-Islam. Free nation of Israel left behind the pitiful Poles and other virulent antisemites, so all they can do is pound sand in Jewish forums.

"Jews were long gone". Really ? then how is it that there was a Jewish majority in Jerusalem from the mid 1800s ? How is it that my own family had roots there for hundreds of years and they do not originate anywhere in Europe. Your history knowledge appears to be very selective...kind of makes your agenda pretty obvious.
68. Hey Norman #47
Abie Dee ,   New York, US   (07.27.13)
They just want their land back, huh ? Then please tell me why in 1948 and 1967, when no 'occupied territories' even existed, they still 'wanted their land back'. Time to pull your head out of the sand. It's not about land...these people simply do not want a Jewish country in the ME...clear and simple.
69. Star of David symbol symbolises the State of Israel
Ben Alofs ,   Bangor, UK   (07.27.13)
The writer blames Roger Waters for using the Star of David as a symbol of the State of Israel. But Waters is not to blame here. Arieh should criitcitise the government of Israel for usurping a religious symbol. The State of Israel is claiming falsely that it represents all the Jews in the world. It most certainlyh does not. Israel does not equal Judaism.
70. # 60 - 'Jews who were oppressed and victimized in pogroms'
split ,   US   (07.28.13)
Why don't you take look in the mirror and ask yourself why instead pointing a finger and blame others.There're other minorities let say in US, there're Germans, Irish, Italians, Poles for instance nobody hates them by the way not many even know that they exist because they blended in, don't demand special attention, favors and handouts. Unlike your tribe they work hard in every profession ,...
71. Start producing pig balloons with Water's face on them.
nibor ,   israel   (07.29.13)
72. NOT BUYING - Why AFTER completing his damaging world tour?
Kelly   (12.03.13)
NOT BUYING - Why now? Why not at the beginning of his tour? why AFTER completing his damaging world tour? AFTER ignoring repetitive protests from Israelis and Jewish communities? He kept displaying the offending imagery - HE NEVER TOOK IT OFF DESPITE THE OFFENSE and he is still supporting and endorsing B(D)S. he never really apologized or set the record straight . what he says now will never erase the damage he caused in every show, in every country, in front of hundred of thousands of people - this will not reach the audiences that were urged to blow that pig with the Star of David on it
