Gee............................. I think I am as conservative as they come. However, I would say that Pink Floyd is my favorite band. Sure, Waters is a fascist, however his music is very good. Likewise, nearly every actor in Hollywood is a communist/totalitarian, but I still watch the movies I like.

I really do not care about the political positions of musicians and actors. I view them as entertainers and if they entertain me, that is good enough. Whatever they believe politically or espouse outside of their music/movies is thier problem/view and does not affect me whatsoever. When I listen to "Atom Heart Mother", "Meddle", "Wish You Were Here", or "Dark Side of the Moon", I do not think about Water's politics. It is just good music.

Likewise, I ALWAYS ignore the political rants of entertainers, as I have more education and more IQ points than them, so I can make up my own mind. However, I certainly cannot come up with music like Pink Floyd!

Entertainers should keep their mouths shut and just stick to entertaining.

Waters is another liberal hypocrite and anti-Semite. Who cares what he thinks? He's irrelevant. Israel exists and will continue to do so no matter what he or the BDS crowd says or does.

It's nothing short of baffling why American Jews still by and large embrace the anti-semitic Democrat Party.

Because most Jews think evangelicals are complete whack jobs.

Because the Democratic Party is not anti-Semitic.

It's not all American Jews. It's the high concentration of Jews in the NorthEast who have voted locally for Democrat politicians who give them what they want in order to garnish their votes. The largest incidents of block voting is in the NYC metro area.
