I guess that's why the leaders of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Fatah, Hezbollah and Iran are all still alive.

I found an interview with Roger Waters online. I'm not going to post the link here, because I don't want to give that man a platform for his views. I'll only say that when I got to the part of the interview where he called Jews "essentially an agent of a foreign government," I heard all I needed to hear.

What is truly frightening, is he spouts this hatred from the stage at ALL of his concerts. He has an unsuspecting and captured audience, literally paying top dollar to hear about the evil joos.

Unfortunately, Roger Waters is not the only one in that field. Elvis Costello is another one who is vocal and there are a few others. Please check out Creative Community for Peace. It was started by a music executive who wanted to combat this rhetoric within the pop music field. I wish to commend Rhianna in particular for her concert in Central Park, as well as Alicia Keys.

I checked out the site and found their anti-boycott petition, which states: "Hundreds of artists perform in Israel every year and nearly all of them receive pressure to cancel. Artists are being inundated with petitions, open letters, and sometimes thousands of posts on social media, calling on them to boycott Israel. It is crucial at this time that artists hear from those who support artistic freedom and the power of the arts to build bridges."

I am thoroughly on the side of artistic freedom and the power of the arts to build bridges. I'll support Creative Community for Peace. Thanks for mentioning this site, Coney!

(Giving a shout-out for Ziggy Marley and Cyndi Lauper, two of my favorites who I saw were on the list of those artists who refuse to be intimidated and who have performed in Israel.)

This is truly creepy. I've never been a huge Pink Floyd fan, though like most people my age I'm familiar with many of their songs.

But I had no idea about this. There's no justification for this sort of thing. None.

I know, right? It scares me that there are people like Waters who have a platform from which they can tell their adoring public that Jews are agents of a foreign government – and the dangerous implications that go with such a conspiracy-laden accusation. That's the "dual loyalty" canard that comes straight out of that antisemitic pamphlet The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antise...d#Dual_loyalty

Carlos Santana is an interesting one. He originally bowed to Waters’ pressure but has since come back with a more parve approach, saying we must all love each other (not repudiating Waters and Hamas). But at least he now plays in Israel.

Paul McCartney and Ringo (a Yid) both play Israel frequently.

I bet you a dollar Peter Gabriel is a Joo hater. Pretty much all those Amnesty International singers likely are.

I think it's painting with rather a broad brush to say that Peter Gabriel hates Jews just because he's an Amnesty International singer. Have you ever heard a concert of his and heard him say negative things about Jews? Otherwise this statement seems to be based on your own prejudice, IMHO.
