Jewish Group Lashes Out at Pink Floyd Star’s ‘Anti-Semitic’ Imagery
Crossposted from Haaretz
The Anti-Defamation League has lashed out at rock star Roger Waters, claiming imagery used in his latest tour is anti-Semitic.
Waters is a vocal critic of Israel’s policies and his 2010-2011 “The Wall Live” Tour takes aim at Israel’s West Bank security fence.
During his performances of “Goodbye Blue Sky,” an animated scene projects images of planes dropping bombs in the shape of Jewish Stars of David followed by dollar signs, the ADL said.
