Laurie Cardoza-Moore, president of the Tennessee-based Proclaiming Justice to the Nations is calling on all Jews, Christians and people of conscience to protest Roger Waters’ concert this Sunday at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.
Once known for his role in the British rock band Pink Floyd, Waters has become a global ambassador of the movement to Boycott, Divest and Sanction (BDS) the State of Israel. The British musician has paraded on stage in a mock Nazi uniform and hoisted an inflatable pig emblazoned with a Star of David above his stage in concert. This in addition to spreading lies about Israel and comparing the Jewish State to Nazi Germany.

“Roger Waters is a global symbol of Jew Hatred that should not be welcome in Nashville or anywhere else in the United States of America” said Cardoza-Moore, adding, “Roger Waters is the poster boy for BDS, it’s time to give him a taste of his own medicine and send a strong message that anti-Semites aren’t welcome in Tennessee.”
Cardoza-Moore pointed out that “the BDS movement has been hailed by Hamas, they both seek the total destruction of the Jewish State. Furthermore, BDS are responsible for an increase in anti-Semitism and violent attacks on Jewish students on campuses in America and around the world. Tennessee was the first state to pass legislation to publicly condemn the BDS movement. The BDS global brand ambassador should not be able to peddle his lies and conspiracies onstage within the city of Nashville.”
“In accordance with the US State Department’s guidelines, the BDS movement’s activities are clearly anti-Semitic. They seek to delegitimize, demonize, and apply a double standard toward Israel, while remaining silent on real atrocities taking place worldwide,” She said.
The guy is a total a hole
Elvis Costello is a pro-BDS idiot as well.
Although they are leftists, I’m a big fan of Radiohead, and I’m glad to see they recently performed in Israel.
Same here.
From earlier today: http://pitchfork.com/news/roger-waters-accuses-radiohead-of-supporting-israeli-government-in-new-interview/
Roger needs a visit from the Karma Police.
Brits by and large are horribly anti-Semitic.
And there they are, importing the Muslims who make a sport of raping their daughters and slitting their throats.
All of the members of Pink Floyd are progressive Socialists.
But it’s whatever to me, most or all of the musicians I like are total leftist pricks.
“Elvis Costello is a pro-BDS idiot as well.”
He’s every other kind of idiot, so he might as well be that kind too.
Being opposed to Israel as a political unit, is not “Anti-Semitic”.
I can’t tolerate Roger Waters or his leftist friends, therefore I avoid borrowing their tactics.
He can’t sing worth a damn either.
Don’t you see it’s all fine since he’s not Jeffrey Lord?
Why isn’t Waters being treated like David Duke? No difference whatsoever, except people actually follow Waters.
Best advice ever given to musicians, ‘shut up and play’.
He is more than just, “opposed to Israel as a political unit,” he is anti-Jewish. Having a giant pig with a Star of David on it is not anti-Israel, it’s anti-Jewish.
Okay. Being an idiot (or even an anti-semite) doesn’t justify censoring speech we don’t agree with.
Since he’s wrong, we should have no trouble winning the debate.
No one has suggested censoring him. Peacefully protesting his message is the essence of speech. He gets to talk, his opponents get to talk.
And let me note BDS is a foreign boycott here in America. We have laws which prevent support of a foreign boycott. At the direction of the State Department. Like the Arab boycott of Israel. I acknowledge even most Arab states don't follow it, but if an American company does, it's a crime. State could do that tonight if the administration wished. Which they don't. Which is why Congress has a bill pending. None of which has anything to do with free speech. Waters can bitch an whine in America all he wants about Jews and Israel. Can say things that would get him thrown in jail in Europe. Or Canada. Or Australia. Not suggesting he will. But advocating support of the Palestinian boycott he supports legally in the US at the tolerance of the administration.
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Picketing the event is the very definition of attempting to censor him. I’d like for Waters, and BLM, and the most pious adherent of Islam to have an open mike in front of them at all but times. I trust people to see what they’re saying for what it is.
