31. We don't need no explosion
Francois ,   Paris & MontrĂ©al   (06.22.06)
32. Another dreamer
John Lalor ,   Tel-Aviv   (06.22.06)
As a non-Israeli, I still find Waters' actions disappointing and annoying. But, he is a rock star, and they're not renowned for their grip on reality. He is a fantastic musician, but he has never been elected to a public office, which shows in his naive, simplistic political views. I am going to the show, and I hope I will be joined in boo-ing him if he starts politicking and preaching. Who's with me?

The old guy is also 'so yesterday'. How we idolize has beens and give them the PR they no longer receive anywhere else. They come here whenalmost all else fails. Sooo ugly too...but that's an asset these days, just take a look at who they idolize here lately...
34. I bet Waters has a "wall"
John Lalor ,   Tel-Aviv   (06.22.06)
Just a thought: I bet anything Waters has a nice wall or perimeter fence around his property. Why? To stop unwanted visits from dangerous individuals, of course! But he won't agree to such a thing for people - Israelis - under far greater threat than him...
35. Aging Hippy
Abe ,   Brooklyn   (06.22.06)
Like this guy knows anything about hardship or conflict. What an absolute joke. I'll tell you what Roger, let's tear down the wall, take a bunch of acid, and wait for the suicide bombers to start flowing in. I always thought Pink Floyd sucked.
36. Keep up the good work, mates!
Ellen Prescott ,   Southsea, Hampshire   (06.22.06)
37. ROGER WATERS A MISINFOMRED CELEBRITY BLINDED BY AFLUENCE

38. Waters is the Dark Side of the Clown
Francois ,   Paris & MontrĂ©al   (06.22.06)
39. To #23
John Lalor ,   Tel-Aviv   (06.22.06)
First, a non-Arab would be butchered (or, at best, kidpapped) if they were caught in Gaza. Second, terrorists firing INTO civilian areas FROM their OWN CIVILIAN areas neither have soldiers' rights, nor deserve to be spared. Third, those who harbour and support terrorists (though might not go shooting or bombing themselves) do not deserve the IDF's care. NOW, THAT'S WHY LIFE IS S%^T IN GAZA.
40. Israel: no; China, Zimbabwe, Cuba...: ok?
John Lalor ,   Tel-Aviv   (06.22.06)
Waters was criticised by some British fans for originally planning to play Tel-Aviv. Would have have had much criticism for planning to play Beijing, Ramallah, Harare, Havana, Teheran, Damascus, Darfur, Caracas...? Time and again, Israel singled out when GENUINE oppressors get off - if not APPLAUDED by Left!
41. #33 - regarding nameless 10's comment
Scott ,   Haifa   (06.22.06)
Yes true. The big difference too, is that Reagan at that time was courageous and was a voice that stood up to oppressive Communism. He was a leader, and he was morally strong. It was said that he felt bothered in the White House when he did not wear his suit jacket, because he felt like he was being too casual in such a high role. What a difference between then and today. Today is all show and flash with no moral rectitude. To actually compare what Reagan did, to what Waters did today, shows that Waters and the guy who compared have no discernment what so ever. Because though the two actions look the same, there is no moral equivilancy. And that is the major error today when people try to make a moral equivalancy to what is going on. Those who love the truth and the light, will come to the truth. Those whose deeds are evil, love the darkness.
42. To Francois #30 - great heading
Larry ,   Eastbourne, UK   (06.22.06)
I love your heading, I'm humming it now.

45. Viva Palestina
H. Sh ,   Jerusalem   (06.22.06)
The wall will come down one day!
46. Scott, Haifa; Avraham Rottman
John Lalor ,   Tel-Aviv   (06.22.06)
Scott, excellent point! Lazy analogies and correlations are the way of these pseudo-philosophers. Waters protested a "wall"; Reagan protested a wall: same thing in their minds. Avraham, so true. I gues Palestinian Media Watch and their kind just have to keep exposing the truth. Finally, where are the calls from children's rights organizations for child abuse charges to be pushed on the cowards who dress their kids in suicide bombing belts and teach them to hate and live an ignorant life?
47. Fence facts the Liberal Left ignores
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (06.22.06)
Visit the official Security-Fence site : http://www.seamzone.mod.gov.il/Pages/ENG/default.htm
48. Roger Waters: worry about walls in Northern Ireland
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (06.22.06)
and please stop smoking POT it has effected your limited brains
49. Roger Waters is running out of publicity gags and is getting
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (06.22.06)
old - so he's desperately trying to get into the Media - what a moonbat jerk most likely still high on drugs
50. Hey Roger Waters, you are not in NYC.
(06.22.06)
So you better scrub that griffati off, or we will kick your ass.
51. SCREW ROGER WATERS
Russell ,   Miami   (06.22.06)
Pink Floyd is passe anyway. I saw them in the Eighties when they were still slightly relevant. It appears that too much acid has rotted his brain. Until he finds a better solution for keeping terrorist murderers out of Israel he should shut his ignorant mouth. Not only can the Jews not defend themselves - they are not supposed to be able to build nonviolent defensive countermeasures to combat the bloodthirty hordes at the gates. Maybe when Britain is attacked again (unfortunately just a matter of time) he and his kind will begin understand.
52. Why all the hate?
Bruce ,   USA   (06.22.06)
This wall was built out of hate. I don't intend to choose sides, but the whole situation in that part of the world was due to the creation of Israel. Now don't get me wrong, I have no problems with the Jewish people and have many friends that are Jewish and share in my beliefs, but the state of Israel has some serious mental issues. If they are afraid of the Muslims, then I have no sorry feelings for them, because they put themselves in that part of the land. Nobody forced them to go take over Arab territory and live in fear. Its all nothing more than self inflicted suicide. Enjoy the conquered land, and enjoy living in fear. Idiots.
53. Peace.
VU ,   USA   (06.22.06)
I love it i can't wait to see it. Peace and love
54. Roger
Hilda ,   USA   (06.22.06)
Keep your lousy Arabism to yourself. Israel does not need your permission. This is not the Berlin Wall. It ids a fence to keep out terrorists who want to murder its children. He should get fine and a jail term . He would if it were any place but Israel and if Israel wasn;t so "chicken"
55. Get a CLUE Israel
otto mcpoof ,   california, U$A   (06.22.06)
your Zionist ways will come back to haunt you!
56. waters and wall
mitch ,   ny, usa   (06.22.06)
let him to go to the OTHER side of the wall.
57. Pure scum
Firebird ,   Philadelphia   (06.22.06)
"Roger Waters "GO HOME"!! You don't deserve the Israelis adulation. " No, you parasitic Jews don't deserve the right to listen to some of the best music ever produced!
58. it's not your buisness stupid singer!
stephane ,   france   (06.22.06)
who is this guy to tell the jews not to build the security fence?! does he lives in israel? does he know what is the feeling to know that you can die when you take a lane to enter a disco? don't judge israel ass h...! i saw him writing staff on the fence;why i don't see him writing on the muquata's wall:"STOP TERROR"?he should better sing and shut up,it's why he's paid for.
59. R U KIDDING?
PATRICK HENRY ,   USA   (06.22.06)
CALL IT LIKE IT IS: AN UNLAWFUL LAND GRAB BY A FAILED STATE WHICH CONTINUES ON THE AMERICAN DOLE. THE WORLD WATCHES AND NO SPIN OR AD HOMINEN ATTACKS WILL CHANGE THE FACTS.
60. #40
dirty ,   USA   (06.22.06)
you're so right! Those REAL opressors are just bad. Israel is more like a second-hand kind of oppressor and should never be criticized by by anyone for anything. They're all just dirty anti-semites anyway, right? Israel can't do any wrong. They're the Chosen Ones!
