BERLIN (JNS) – During a Berlin concert on Wednesday, former Pink Floyd member Roger Waters likened Anne Frank to Shireen Abu Aqleh, the Al Jazeera journalist who died during a shootout between IDF soldiers and Palestinian terrorists.

Waters also dressed up as an SS soldier and pretended to fire a rifle.
Israel’s Foreign Ministry tweeted on Thursday, “Good morning to every one but Roger Waters who spent the evening in Berlin (Yes Berlin) desecrating the memory of Anne Frank and the 6 million Jews murdered in the Holocaust.”
In February, the German city of Frankfurt announced the cancellation of a May 28 concert by Waters, citing his reputation as “one of the world’s best-known antisemites.”
A statement by the municipal government announcing the decision cited his support for the BDS movement, antisemitic imagery at his performances and past interviews with media affiliated with the Hamas terrorist group.
Waters has a long history of antisemitic behavior, claiming in October 2022 that the Jewish state was attempting to manufacture a new intifada with the goal of killing as many Palestinians as possible.
“The Israelis seem now to have a policy of murdering so many of them, that they are absolutely trying to create another intifada, so they can make it an armed conflict where they’re a thousand times, 10,000 times more powerful than the Palestinian people … so they can just kill them all,” Waters said on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast.
Waters also called Hamas the “democratically elected government of Gaza,” acknowledging the existence of its “armed wing” yet justifying the Palestinians’ “absolute legal and moral right to resist the occupation” and then minimizing the impact of their rocket attacks against Israel. The rockets “almost never do any damage because they’re very ineffectual,” he said.
Earlier this month, Pink Floyd member David Gilmour and his wife, Polly Samson, publicly accused Waters of antisemitism, setting off a widely publicized feud.
I thought Syd Barrett was the crazy one; I guess he was sane by comparison with Roger.
This creature is beyond help. Best thing is to not give him the attention he craves .
Surprised German government didn’t clamp down on him.
He’s a known anti semite
It’s always nice when empty heads are give a voice by virtue of their proximity to a microphone
In the beginning it’s hard to tell who they are but they always end up giving it away.
Who actually pays any attention to Pink Floyd or Roger Waters?
Roger Stone is not alone. He is just one of many who feel this way. There has been an increase and resurgence of antisemitism everywhere that we must be aware of and be prepared for.
We are in Golus.
עשיו שונא ליעקב says in the Talmud. It is a fact.
The gentile world in general hate Jews. If they could they would kill every single Jew on planet earth C’V.
Moster and your illks, you can go tell the NY Times and on social media how “silly” the Frum world is believing that gentiles would love to get rid of the Jews C’V.
He is just another leftwing democrat.
