(Jewish Group) US weighs in on Roger Waters antisemitism debate, artist has long history of bigotry

[werdna]

1. A big mistake by the pro-Israeli biden Admin.

I believe there is a big difference in being antisemitic and being anti-Israeli government policies in relation to Palestinians. Roger Waters, who has made some horrific statements in support of Putin's Russian invasion of Ukraine and on other political issues, is making it as clear as he can that his performance of songs from, using props from, the Pink Floyd album/movie, The Wall, that he is anti-fascist - and, evidently, that means something slightly different to him than it may to you or I - and anti-Israeli government, not antisemitic. What he is being cited for pertains to "disturbing the peace". I did not read any articles about riots, or any form of violent outbreaks at his concert, or after his concert anywhere in Germany. One lone Rabbi made a complaint to the press, is alI I have found thus far. Disapproval of a peoples government policies should not be confused with disapproval of the people. Not all Jews in Israel agree with or condone the policy decisions of their government regarding relations with the Palestinians.
