My point is that being opposed to Israel does not equate to anti-Semitism. You have given me any evidence that Roger Waters hates people of the Jewish faith.
I’m not going to debate this with you. I told you politely that I wasn’t interested. Apparently it’s an obsession with you, because you can’t or won’t let it go. I went so far as to find a Jewish POV for you. If you want to debate someone, the author accepts questions. Debate him.
Now kindly leave me alone.
Does being against the State of Israel automatically make you antisemitic?

Not automatically. Maybe he just didn’t think it all the way through. But when you think of it, the conclusion is positive. One who’s against Israel, is also against the existance of the Jewish people.
When Jews didn’t have a state of their own, there were pogroms, genocides, and a lot of discrimination against them. Seeing the current antisemitism in Europe and other countries doesn’t make me think that anything has changed.
If Jews were to receive another piece of land instead of the land of Israel (like Uganda that was offered as an option decades before Israel was established), would the locals population would have welcomed the new immigrants? Would the Jews would have been welcomed ANYWHERE?
There’s no place for Jews on this earth, except for the land of Israel, and even this land, which is our origin land, did not come easy.
So basically one who wants Israel gone, also wants the Jewish people gone.
