Have you seen the Wall or been to his recent show? He is absolutely protesting war and authoritarianism.

Israel has a right to exist (I guess) but so do Palestinians who have been living under an apartheid like regime on the West Bank for decades.

The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem to be illegal under international law. Those are facts which Waters is merely serving up to spread awareness.

Ouy, there is no apartheid. All Israeli citizens have equal rights. Non citizens can come work in Israel if they don't kill us, hence border control. The Palestinians have been offered their own state many times and have turned it down. Their motto "from the river to the sea". Do you even understand what that means? There are 22 Muslim Arabs states. Do the Jews not get even one?

Their land? Who was their president? Where were their borders? It was all Pan-Arabism back then. The Lebanese, Jordanians, Syrians, etc all just plain old Arabs. After 1948 when they attacked Israel and lost they suddenly became Palestinians (which previously had been the term for Jews in the Middle East). But don't bother to educate yourself.

yes .....what about every other country that occupies others like China does Tibet ? But it isn’t those amoral “Jews” you can shame! Criticizing Israel is OK but your obsessive focus may be Racist

Indeed the Muslim groups stole the land from the Israeli people, who had lived there for thousands of years before the Muslims came into existence. Yet Muslims are more free in Israel than in any other Middle East country.

I feel I have to point out that Palestine has never been a country.

Indeed Muslims are freer in Israel than in any other country in the Middle East. They serve in parliament and in the government. They worship freely. They can fly nonstop to Saudi Arabia for their pilgrimage.

The Palestinians suffer under the control of the terrorist organizations Hamas and Hezbollah which are largely funded by Iran (and thus indirectly by the U.S. through Obama's deal).

Deliberate misspelling of your disgraced Leader but just keep banging the drum that all things are because of “the Jews” and complaining that you are stopped from Hating Israel by reasonable citizens. Waters may be a 70s proto Nazi Oldies act for you and your clan but we still love Pink Floyd in spite of this Throwback proto Nazi

Stay to your beliefs. But it’s a waste of time to “argue”. (It’s like pissing into the wind.) End the damn Proxy War!
