1. uplifting to see some performers with honor and respet
aviva ,   Omer   (07.18.17)
Both Radiohead and REM are big time favorites of mine-I am glad to hear they are also intelligent and brave-I would love to see both of them!
2. IGNORE THE BULLIES
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (07.17.17)
Roger the codger Waters can take a hike.
3. TO ALL MUSICIANS AND ARTISTES :
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (07.17.17)
With all due respect .you are always welcome to come to visit and also to perform in Israel ,it should be a pleasure and a privilege for you. But please do not imagine that you are doing Israel any favours.
4. NOBODY NEEDS YOU
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED OBVIOUS   (07.18.17)
To all artists and entertainers ,especially those with overgrown egos and illusions / delusions of grandeur: Nobody actually needs you nor needs your physical presence . Rather ,you are the ones who need your audiences . We have You Tube these days and we can watch you perform 24 hours a day whenever we choose.
If you imagine that tough israelis ,who have survived several wars and years of terror , are dependent on your shows for their survival ,you can jolly well think again. Of course , you are always welcome to visit and play and go home much richer .
5. TO ALL ARTISTES:
STIGMUND FREUD ,   SAFED PSYCHIATRIC   (07.18.17)
Control your egos , at the end of the day ,we all return to the dust of the earth...
6. I am oh so grateful for the (relative) acknowledgment these
(07.18.17)
guys so benignly grant my country (Israel), but still cannot get over the last hurdle of "occupation". We are not occupiers in our own Land, Mr. Stipe, never were never will be. Arab/Muslim occupation: that's something else and I'm willing to discuss with you indeed.
7. I cant wait till Waters dies
david ,   hadera   (07.18.17)
I will personally decorate his grave
8. Waters supports Trump
Dan   (07.18.17)
Otherwise he'd be demanding every musician in the world refuse to play in the US. Right?
9. Royalties
Joe Wyse ,   Hadera Israel   (07.18.17)
I wonder if Roger Waters donates all the royalties he has earned in Israel to terror victims in Syria.
10. If not for 'protesting'
BBB   (08.20.17)
Waters would have no audience at all.

Talk about being blind deaf and dumb.

BOYCOTT WATERS!!!
