1. Waters is really getting desperate
Khalid Amayreh ,   Jerusalem   (03.14.18)
BDS isn't catching on the way he thought it would, and now he's lashing out in all directions.
2. Once an arsehole - always one!
Sallee Eriera ,   Haifa   (03.14.18)
3. Roger 'The Tool' Waters strikes again.
David ,   Hartford USA   (03.14.18)
If he only read the history of the region from, say, 2000 years ago, he'd finally learn that his support is misguided. But why should little things like written history or the archaeological record get in the way of his 'facts?'

4. Go back to sleep, Grandpa
Tony ,   Tel Aviv   (03.14.18)
Its embarrassing watching this old fool trying to stay relevant.
5. Waters the Anti-Semite
Michael ,   Haifa   (03.14.18)
Next he'll do an album set to Mein Kamph. Amazing how this man's heart bleeds for terrorists. The world is better place for it, too.
6. Just words
Erick Shaw ,   Chicago   (03.14.18)
While he keeps busy simply mouthing words, we are building our indivisible capital, Jerusalem. He talks, we build. Our presence in a Jerusalem will outlive him.
7. The real occupation:
moishe ,   golutsk   (03.14.18)
Why Waters doesn't write song about UK illegal occupation of Falklands or British Virgin Islands?
8. STOP GIVING THIS GUY COVERAGE
Dan   (03.15.18)
Why does Ynet even give this guy any press? I don't see any other mainstream outlet giving this guy a voice. Who cares what this old rock star thinks about something he knows nothing about.
9. Roger who?
Adam Freedman   (03.14.18)
Why are we giving this idiot any attention at all?
10. Mahmoud Darwish
Jake   (03.14.18)
Just to see how fraudulent are the claims of the palestinian narrative that we, the Israelis, "dispossessed" them, one need only read the biography of Mahmoud Darwish.
After fleeing from Israel to Lebanon during the War in June 1948, Darwish and his family RETURNED to Israel in 1949.

This from the Wikipedia entry on Mahmoud Darwish:

"A year later, Darwish's family returned to the Acre area, which was now part of Israel, and settled in Deir al-Asad.[12] Darwish attended high school in Kafr Yasif, two kilometers north of Jadeidi. He eventually moved to Haifa.

He published his first book of poetry, Asafir bila ajniha, or "Wingless Birds", at the age of 19. He initially published his poems in Al Jadid, the literary periodical of the Israeli Communist Party, eventually becoming its editor. Later, he was assistant editor of Al Fajr, a literary periodical published by the Israeli Workers Party (Mapam).[13]

Darwish left Israel in 1970 to study in the Soviet Union (USSR).[14] He attended the Lomonosov Moscow State University for one year,[3] before moving to Egypt and Lebanon.[15] When he joined the PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization) in 1973, he was banned from reentering Israel.[3]

In 1995, he returned to attend the funeral of his colleague, Emile Habibi, receiving a permit to remain in Haifa for four days.[16] That year Darwish was allowed to settle in Ramallah,[16] but he said he felt he was living in exile there, and did not consider the West Bank his "private homeland."[14]"

12. Rogers Waters the crusades are over
Tova ,   Canada   (03.14.18)
Your people Lost. I suppose you are still desperate for another crusade.

King Edward the lion heart - was anti-semetic. King Edward told his knights to kill Jews, rob them of money and kill anyone on the way to Jersualem.

This is not the christian way???. Are you related to King Edward or Mr. Rogers Waters do you think you are King Edward.
13. Waters - do you understand
Tova   (03.15.18)
anything about the middle east. do you even know what a Bible is?
Do you care about your life. Do you care that you live in a country that is
based on Judeo/Christian values.

Or are you one those people who is against everything that is good. Do you feel you need a cause to fight for. a reason for being.....blah blah blah.

Go live in a muslin country and then you will see. No more of the your kind of music. Rogers - you will have to bow down to allah - if not - islam will cut off your head - go try you may like it.
14. It would seem Herr Waters is unperturbed by the millions of
MadDad ,   Johannesburg   (03.14.18)
indigenous people dying in Syria
He also doesn’t give a rats ass about the Maronite Christians butchered and driven out of southern Lebanon and replaced by the colonizing forces of Iran - Hizbolla
He also doesn’t give a flying f&@cl about the Yarzidis that have been ethnically cleansed and butchered on mount sin jar
He is the perfect example of a hypocrite and a brain dead relic of the past
BHS for Donald Trump
15. I hope to see his headstone
david ,   hadera   (03.14.18)
the sooner Waters dies, the better off for everyone
16. History will write story of Zionism, Nazism, Communism, Jews
Steve Benassi ,   Duluth, Minnesota   (03.14.18)
17. Simple solution Roger
Allen ,   Brooklyn   (03.14.18)
Since you wax poetic, go back in time and stop the Arabs and Pals from warring on Israel in 1948, 1967 and 1973. If they had accepted Israel there would be no b problem. But they did not, and war has consequences Mr. Poet.
18. RODGER THE SOAP DODGER
HEEZAK HUNT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (03.14.18)
19. ROGER CAN DO ONE .
SUK MAI DIK ,   SAFED KOREA   (03.14.18)
20. WATERS IS AN ANAL CHARACTER
DA RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED RAP HOUSE   (03.14.18)
21. #2 R. WATERS IS AN ARSEHOLE

22. "Haaretz" columnist after G.Levy fell of the perch ?
ab   (03.14.18)
23. It's better to have an openly antisemitic opponent like
(03.15.18)
Waters than our own, Jewish traitors like Zandberg /Galon & Meretz Co.
24. Funny how hate can transform even a musician....
(03.15.18)
25. a pathetic old man......
tiki ,   belgium.   (03.15.18)
Fighting for a cause because it brings in the public.

27. GO TO A HIGH BUILDING,GO UP & JUMP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (03.14.18)
28. Eric Fletcher Waters died fighting Nazis
A ,   OutThere   (03.14.18)
(or at least his son would have us believe that while capitalising on the story), the same Nazis whom his son Roger so emulates. At least it pays the alimony, right Rog?
29. Indigenous People?
Ed ,   USA   (03.16.18)
Who are the indigenous people of Israel? Those who arrived in the 7th century when Muslim armies conquered the region? This is totally ridiculous. It exposes Waters for the anti-Semite he is. He masks his hatred as love for those he supposes are oppressed.
30. If anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism, then we should all be anti
Ron Steinberg ,   Tel Aviv   (03.16.18)
-Semites.
