MadDad ,   Johannesburg   (04.17.19)
Whens his honor going admit that democracy can lead to corruption on a grand scale?
2. Don't be fooled.
DSM ,   USA   (04.17.19)
Roger Waters is an anti Semite and has been for a long time.

"Roger Waters urges Madonna to cancel Eurovision performance"

Madonna: "not a chance! Roger is a 75-year-old has-been who just hates Jews & Israel (& maybe Palestinians). His vendetta & DBS is hurting arabs much more than affecting Jews. Besides, I am going to perform not judge"
4. Waters is an old senile fart
Noodles   (04.17.19)
Doubtful Madonna will pay much mind to his lunacy.
5. Water's obsession
Slimbop   (04.17.19)
Tell Waters to go perform in ISIS territory. They will hoist him on his own petard.
6. Roger Waters a man who in February claimed
Naor ,   Jerusalem   (04.17.19)
Venezuela was a "true democracy" under Maduro!Another celebrity although past his sell by date who believes selling records now gives him the right to interfere in politics and the internal affairs of a sovereign state.
Hey Waters
Leave Israel alone
All in all you're just another dick after all!!
7. Waters trying to bite more than he can chew.He risks choking
Ezekiel Haim ,   London   (04.17.19)
Madonna is the last person who would listen to waters.He is developing delusions of grandeur.Needs some major trankillisers.
8. Sod off you bloody old limmey twit
Al   (04.17.19)
9. Well said Roger
Oliver ,   Eilat   (04.17.19)
10. BDS threatens lives. Treat them like criminal thugs
Chaim ,   Israel   (04.17.19)
Many artists, including Paul McCartney, admit their lives were threatened by BDSers. BDSers are criminal thugs, Nazi type racists, and must be treated as such. Time to stop playing games with them.
11. Hypocrisy and Injustice
Ed ,   USA   (04.18.19)
Why not ask other performers to throw away their phones--which are filled with Israeli technology? Is Waters going to insist that children be denied life-saving treatments that have been developed in Israel?
Message to Waters: Jews have rights! The right to live in their own land in peace. The best way to help the Palestinian people is to encourage them to recognize the right to Jewish national self-determination. That's all it would take to bring peace to everyone. Instead, the last thing that Waters wants is the good the Palestinian people. There is an old name for this.
12. Waters is not an anti Semite
tiki ,   belgium   (04.18.19)
Agree....he's a Jew hater.
Time has come to clear the stage.....he's getting boring.

An attention seeking old rocker repeating the same old, same old message, pretending to be a moralist.........he's not.
13. Roger, many many Israelis are with YOU. Keep GOING!!!
Pinkfloyder   (04.18.19)
14. BDS is a horrible flashback to Nurenburg laws of the Nazis
Dovid ,   New Yawk   (04.18.19)
BDS is the best way for Anti Semites to hurt Jews using the fig leaf of Anti Zionism. BDS has shifted Bibi and the Likud to the right and definitely hurts
the employment and living standards of the same West bank Palestinians they pretend to care about.

Pink Floyd was a great band but also very pretentious wankers at the same time. Mr Waters is a pretentious wanker when it comes to Israel. I am still devastated that Elvis Costello fell for the BDS crapolla after being contacted by Roger Waters as did many artists.
15. Waters has to choose: if he isn't antisemitic, then he must
(04.18.19)
be exceptionally unintelligent person.
It's his choice.
16. he says that he is not antisemitic
(04.18.19)
People like him abandon critical thinking and scepticism, when they hear muslim big words like occupation, resistance, apartheid and ethnic cleansing.
And that does not indicate a propensity to beleive any allegations against Israel? but it does. maybe Madonna can see her performance as a search for truth and reality.
17. Looks like a criminal!
Rephael Rechitzky ,   Toronto   (04.18.19)
I look at his picture and he looks like a criminal, miserable, unhappy man, full of hath and anger. I could easily spit on him. He is good for nothing. This man does not understand that Israel really does not need the Eurovision. Israel is full of culture for its own people and they don't really need anyone and who cares if others outside of the country really listen to it. This man is one of many in history. One day we will learn that he is gone and another one will appear. We have lived with hate for thousands of years. I could write books about his own country which hurt so many over history. Maybe this is the way to go. Those who do not want to come to the event in Tel Aviv, don't bother. Simply stay where you are. The event will be OK without you.
18. Not an anti semite, just a dick
eli ,   nahariya   (04.18.19)

Stop your hipocritc shit you start boaring us all... I hope one brick of your wall woud fall on your big mouth for ever...
22. Roger H20 is a repulsive has-been
Sallee Eriera ,   Haifa   (05.14.19)
Just so desperate to stay in the limelight, way past his smell by date! He manages to play in China, without one word about their wonderful Human Rights record! He is a pure and utter antisemite, who has probably been creaming himself, from the minute it suddenly became ok to slag off Israel. What a total hypocrite and liar.
23. OMG he is so ugly
Jean Pierrot ,   Holon   (06.16.19)
that his soul ran away from him long go. I heard that cows miscarry when they see him walk in the fields.
