1. And Pink Floyd is doing the Nazi's bidding in 2011
Dwolf ,   san jose, CA USA   (03.07.11)
Don't tell me about your father. Tell me about you. Why do you think it is ok to single out Israel when all that encricles this tiny sliver of country are haters; you included?
2. Any good words to the thousands who have been the
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (03.07.11)
victims of Muslim-Arab terror? Any condemnation of the fact that selling real estate to Jews in the Palestinian Authority is punishable by death...??!!
3. ONE FOR THE PINK
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (03.07.11)
AND ONE FOR THE STINK...
4. ISRAELIS SHOULD REALIZE
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (03.07.11)
Why idolize these people ? " 'you shall serve no other G-d and not worship Idols ."
5. Another useful idiot.
(03.07.11)
6. His father was "concerned" with Arabs murdering Jews
(03.07.11)
What a monumental creep!
7. I don't see him calling for a boycott of UK or US
(03.07.11)
for killing Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan. He is conducting a boycott de-luxe, against a weaker country where his calculations show that he won't lose much business, but shuts up when real wrongdoings are done by bigger, more powerful, but also more profitable countries. He is a malicious, racist, hateful but pathetic fraud, just like all those other boycotters.
8. Roger Waters would have fought with the Nazis against the
British!   (03.07.11)
9. Woger Waters
JaN ,   Australia   (03.07.11)
Old geezer who's brain has melted from all drugs that he took in the 60s,70s and 80s.Silly old sod is trying to get attention as his music is as relevant as he is!
10. Babble on...& not a word about Libyan Massacre of unarmed
civilians! Wow!   (03.07.11)
11. money rules
alex   (03.07.11)
12. Roger Water's comments
gregg bowman ,   Parksville, Canada   (03.07.11)
Poor unintellectual deluded man...warm regards....Gregg Bowman
13. too much acid?
ronen ,   usa   (03.07.11)
As a artist, you should be more concerned about your fans! Boycotting a country and urging others to do so is foolish Roger! I think all that acid fried your brain.
14. Roger Waters is a fraud
Dan Kelso   (03.07.11)
Roger Waters just performed in Mexico, which is run by drug lords who have massacred thousands and thousands of Mexicans. Roger Waters has never said a word about the 700,000 Jews forced from the Arab countries. Waters has never said a word about the Arabs genocidal media against the Jews. Waters has never spoken out about the Arabs racist treatment of the Kurds, Coptics, Berbers, Black Christian of Sudan and the people of Western Sahara.
15. He must also believe that Islam is peaceful
Afried ,   Delray Beach   (03.07.11)
There are many ignorant useful idiots in the west. These are the same people who probably think that Islam is a peaceful religion. If they only knew some facts such as that all 55 Islamic countries have wiped out 90% of minorities. For this it does not count because it was not captured on CNN.
16. His father died fighting Nazis
Iris ,   USA   (03.07.11)
while the Mufti of Jerusalem lived in Berlin aiding Hitler and enlisting troops to kill Jews
17. Syd Barrett the real talent - waters a jerk
david ,   shiloh israel   (03.07.11)
calling waters an artist is like calling madona a virgin - his music is just moronic & aimed to slow the brain to a level whereby his idiotic lyrics appear good. never worked for me. syd was the real talent, only waters could never admit that...take your boycott to hell, like your lack of musical talent.
18. Did you hear Roger Waters , eh?
Salma ,   Palestine   (03.07.11)
his Father was very concerned even then, before the war, before the Holocaust, before all of that, about what was going on in PALESTINE NOT "Israel" . It was called Palestine Its name later became Palestine .
19. To paraphrase "what was,was-was": no point in throwing out
tom ,   tel aviv   (03.07.11)
our old Pink Floyd discs/records. But may God Almighty smite anyone that buys anything that can bring income to this out-of-the-closet antisemite (and an utter idiot) ! He's an affront to all bass players of this planet! Oy, is it not hard to be a Jew and love music/art?
20. He is an idiot and his music is boring
Rafael ,   Yerushalayim, Israel   (03.07.11)
21. WATERS is in radical muslims side. We won' t forget
Venum   (03.07.11)
22. Just because someone is a great musician . . .
noa ,   israel   (03.07.11)
doesn't mean he's not an a------.
23. Another antisemitic
Josh ,   Il   (03.07.11)
British hasbeen loser who wishes to spite the Jews, like his sidekick "Elvis Costello", another hasbeen. Can't help it, he's what he's after all. An old inconsequential arrogant Niemand who neds new limelight. But let him do it! He WILL lose, big time!!!
24. Boycott Pink Floyd!!!
A Shvitzer ,   Israel   (03.07.11)
I am so sick of these people who suddenly think they are politicians and that people really care about what they have to say.Go and retire anyway, and don't intefere in things you do not understand!
25. Negev? that came out of left feild.
(03.07.11)
also talks about the Arab Israelis, so obviously this isn't about the israeli palestinian thing, it's about israel as an entity. peace between israel and palestine won't change what's happening in the negev (no relation whatsoever), he also talks about how the IDs state whether the person is jewish or not, which is false. just another celeb brainwashed by lies.
26. The damn fool should note what Muslims are doing on his
Cameron ,   USA   (03.07.11)
British doorstep. Musicians & actors do themselves no credit when they stray in serious affairs.
27. come on all, let's heart it... all jews say what?
Marwan ,   Tel Aviv, Palestine   (03.07.11)
HEEE'S AN ANTI-SEMITE! if i were a jew, i would stop being one for a sole simple reason: it sucks to feel that a majority of people from all other nations hate your guts! another reason would be: it sucks even more to belong to the same faith Sarah B claims to follow!
28. To all you Israelis
DB ,   Australia   (03.07.11)
Why dont you calm down and look back on your comments......Blaming muslims for this now? Nothing new from you guys. Just accept the fact that what your governemnt is doing is WRONG. Stop trying to shift the spotlight on Libya or Iran for once, ok? There is plenty of airtime for them.
29. it's only the true
ale ,   italia   (03.07.11)
i love Pink Floyd
30. This is NOT for Publication!
Observer1 ,   Chrangbegbo, Ghana   (03.07.11)
Ynet just seems to take such pleasure in things like this. Ynet tell us your position. Come on, tell me where you stand. Are you Isarelis? This one time I beg you to tell me if you are from the household of Jacob. If so, what do you contribute to the strengthening of Israel? Give me not that utter BS of just reporting news. Where's you Op-ed outlining your side of the story and clearly stating where you belong? Concerning the fool called Pink Floy, I think my discarded stockings are better than all his life and life time achievements. Ynet you know my email address. Do reply me. I'm waiting. Sincerely yours.
