Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters, who inspired the rock band's iconic album "The Wall," scrawled "tear down the wall" on the concrete panels of Israel's West Bank barrier on Wednesday.
The barrier was the first stop on a visit to Israel and the Palestinian territories for Waters, who had been criticized by some fans for planning to play a concert in Israel.
"It's a horrific edifice, this thing," Waters told reporters as he stood beside a section of the barrier in Bethlehem.
"I've seen pictures of it, I've heard a lot about it but without being here you can't imagine how extraordinarily oppressive it is and how sad it is to see these people coming through these little holes," he added. "It's craziness."

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
Hey Roger, shut up and sing.
They dont call it Dope music for nothing.
Ah, he's just tripping.
This from a guy that didn't speak to his bandmates for decades.
Better yet, just shut up, you freakin has-been.
"How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat??!!"
Waters, another hit of acid and you won't even notice that wall.
We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the studio
Roger, leave those Jews alone...
Hey! Roger! Leave those Jews alone!
"I've seen pictures of it, I've heard a lot about it but without being here you can't imagine how extraordinarily oppressive it is and how sad it is to see these people coming through these little holes," he added. "It's craziness."
Have you ever commented on the craziness of the murders committed by the thug palestinians? The homicide bombers? The homemade rockets fired into Israel? Didn't think so. Get lost
Then smash it into dust and snort it, Roger.
Another foreign policy expert heard from. Thank goodness idiots like this one (and many more just like him) aren't in charge.
Did anyone inform Mr Pink that the terrorists were on the other side of the wall?
Hey, Roger, leave them Jews alone...
and Roger Waters can't imagine how "extraordinarily oppressive it is" to be on the receiving end of a suicide bomber ... stupid twit.
Tell you what, Roger - you stop all the terrorists percolating into Israel and then you get to make idiotic declarations about getting rid of the wall protecting Israel from those terrorists. Oh, and "The Wall" was over-rated and full of itself, just like every other Pink Floyd album.
I wonder if this guy might, perhaps, live on an estate with walls of his own? Maybe some bodyguards when he goes out?
