Roger Waters dressed up as an SS officer and compared Anne Frank to Al-Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh during a concert at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin last week.
At the beginning of the show, an announcement was displayed on a screen reading “on a matter of public interest: a court in Frankfurt has ruled that I am not an antisemite," sparking applause from the crowd. "Just to be clear, I condemn antisemitism unreservedly," continued the announcement.
...
The screen proceeded to display the names of Sophie Scholl, an anti-Nazi activist murdered by the Nazis; Mahsa Amini, who was murdered by Iranian "morality police"; George Floyd, who was shot by a police officer in Minneapolis; and Anne Frank, who was murdered by the Nazis in Bergen-Belsen, among other individuals killed by various authorities and regimes throughout the past century.
...
After an intermission, Waters walked on stage in a SS uniform as an inflatable pig with various words and symbols and glowing eyes floated over the crowd and banners in the style of the Third Reich but with crossed hammers instead of a swastika hanging from the ceiling. Waters proceeded to fire a fake machine gun toward the audience.

He and Harry should get together and compare costumes.
Satan has his soul.............................
Be fair, that’s his character in The Wall dressed up as a Nazi.
In 2020 when some Jewish groups complained, Major League Baseball pulled advertising for his concert tour. But now they’re fine with the Los Angeles Dodgers honoring the anti-Catholic, sex addicted sickos, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence with an “award”.

Definitely not edited for accuracy…
There’s one thing you never mention that proves he has a problem with Jews.
You claim that he only has a problem with Israel because of their policies.
So are you going to tell me that Israel is the ONLY country that has done something bad in the last 40 years, or at least they have acted the WORST of any country in the last 40 years.
Because Roger Waters focuses his attention on Israel and their evil ways.
He doesn’t like how Israel treats the Palestinians. Fair enough. Except in Israe3l Palestians are in the Knesset. In other countries in the Middles East, such as Saudi Arabia, only Muslims are allowed to be in their government, and have full rights. Other religions can’t bring ion their holy books, or practice openly. And have a risky life. In Dubai, Qatar etc, Filipino, Indian, and other workers can be murdered, no investigation.
How come Waters has no problem with this?
There are countries that kill, imprison, commit violence against Christian. Countries like Lebanon had a Christian majority, and active violence have made them a minority. Where did Waters say anything against Lebanon, etc.?
Roger Waters has no problem with murders or human rights abuse against Christians. Well, maybe if a Jew did it.
What about China? China has more than a million Muslims imprisoned and has been commiting genocide against them. I dare you to find the most anti-Israel source you can and compare the number of Muslims they say were harmed by Israel and compare it with the number harmed by China. It’s a tiny fraction. But Roger Waters doesn’t make an issue about this? I don’t understand.
Take Myanmar. Myanmar has been persecuting their Muslims much harsher than Israel ever did. Look it up. Why doesn’t Waters have a problem with that?
And Saudi Arabia trying to slaughter and starver Yemenis? There are other countries that persecute Muslims, but somehow Waters only cares about Jews doing it?
What about all kinds of other human rights, and genocides?
Where was Waters on Hutus killing Tutsis in Rwanda?
What about Tamils in Sri Lanka?
What about Pol Pot’s killing fields?
What about Idi Amin?
What about Darfur?
What about South Sudan?
What about the Congo?
What about the years of Apartheid in South Africa?
You claim that Roger Waters is just a simple anti-Israeli, who is unfairly blamed as an anti-Semite?
Can you explain how the ONLY people in the world he cares about are people harmed by Israelis? There are other demonstrably worse than what Israel does. China and Myanmar are treating a larger number of Muslims, in a worse fashion. But he doesn’t go around yammering about that.
How come he only cares when Jews are doing something bad?
Do you see how I don’t think your contentions compute?
Any why the necessity to be an SS officer? They could use a more generic uniform.
have some more acid roger
Desperately trying to return to relevance.
He is a pompous, self-indulgent blowhard.
“... I read the words, and that’s a pro-Nazi musical.”
No, there’s a pseudo-Nazi character in the musical who says Nazi things. “The Producers” by Mel Brooks also is a musical with Nazi characters spouting Nazi things. Does that make “The Producers” a “pro-Nazi musical”?
It’s a strange fall.
His father died fighting the Nazis, and so he had a troubled childhood.
According to him, his father’s death is The Jooos fault.
The fourth disk of The Wall is starting to make more and more sense, in a most regrettable way: Pink really does want to be a fascist dictator. “And that one looks Jewish... if I had my way, I’d have all of them shot!”
That was the culmination of the Wall being built. Then there was the "trial" where he's ordered to tear down that wall, and become a "bleeding heart and artist".
“George Floyd, who was shot by a police officer in Minneapolis”
To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, the problem with liberals is not just that they are ignorant, but that they “know” so much that just is not true.
