Kaila LichtBraun reported: “At the protest, a few people thanked us and agreed.
A number of people said they didn’t care. A few people screamed “free palestine” and yelled “Israel is an apartheid state” …. and gave us the finger.”
“Lots of hostility. Mostly from white people, one Jew and a woman who claimed to be pro-Roger Waters. Others yelled about occupation.”

And NOW in 2022: Roger Waters is an unapologetic anti-Israel, anti -Semitic celebrity, with NO cancel-culture hounding him … cause it’s OPEN Season on Jews in NYC.
Yad Yamin NY announced there was “No time for Silence” as Pink Floyd legend, Jew-Hater, Roger Waters, held a nationwide two-day release of his anti-Semitic movie, “Us + Them”. Waters has spent years spreading his anti-Semitic messages across the world but, No More. Yad Yamin said, ” It’s time we let him know we’re NOT going to take it as we resist his message of hate! “#JewsFightBack
Yad Yamin is a grassroots Zionist movement dedicated to exposing, addressing and confronting people and organizations like Roger Waters and this blatant anti-Zionist slander. It has become too common for these leftist celebrities to get “a pass’ for their hate-mongering since the main-stream media supports anti-Semitism. But, Yad Yamin decided “No More” as they promoted protests in California & Florida, as well as New York, with their message: “Jews will NOT be silent any more!”
Of course, Pink Floyd fans were on hand, hoping for some magical, madness.

Short video of Yad Yamin’s Roger Waters protest in Times Square.
“It is both a film and concert, ending with a spoken-word plea for justice for “our brothers and sisters in Palestine” who, in Waters’ telling, live under Israel’s deeply repressive apartheid regime.
In today’s politically polarized culture, criticizing both Trump and Israel risks leaving a whole lot of money on the table in terms of concert revenue and DVD and streaming sales. But this is “Us + Them’s” primary achievement, one that should not be blithely dismissed in this PC era: Although Waters is sometimes aggravating and occasionally trouble-making, he is, to re-purpose a lyric from “Breathe,” not afraid to care. “Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way,” sings the band’s David Gilmour stand-in, guitarist Jonathan Wilson, in the Pink Floyd classic “Time.” It is not, thank goodness, Roger Waters’ way.”

“Music is intended to transcend political barriers and promote cultural exchange, pluralism, and diversity. Instead, Roger Waters is promoting hate. The Jewish Defense League will continue to take actions against Roger Waters until he renounces antisemitism in all of its forms, including the unjust boycott of the Jewish state.” [Face Book]
Roger Waters has been a vocal advocate for BDS and anti-Israel rhetoric making it imperative that organizations like the JDL and AFSI hit the streets in opposition to his anti-Israel, anti Jewish animus.
Still, many of the passersby outside the Belasco had never heard about the anti- Jewish, anti-Israel agit-prop supported by Waters (and Moore).
Many, like this woman, were sorry they had tickets for the Barclay Center.
Roger Waters may be a giant to some, but this is one despicable human being coming to Brooklyn’s Barclay Center on September 11th and 12th.
