BREAKING NEWS. Jewish organisations call for American venues to cancel Roger Waters shows over antisemitism allegations…full details below..

In a stunning turn of events, Jewish organizations across the United States are calling for a boycott of Roger Waters’ upcoming concerts, accusing the former Pink Floyd member of promoting antisemitic rhetoric and actions. The controversy erupted as multiple groups rallied against Waters’ planned performances, urging American venues to cancel his shows.

Waters, known for his outspoken political views, has long been criticized for his vocal support of the Palestinian cause and his condemnation of Israel’s policies. However, his recent statements and actions have sparked outrage within the Jewish community, with many accusing him of crossing a dangerous line into antisemitism.

The allegations surrounding Waters have been mounting for years, but they reached a fever pitch after recent interviews and social media posts, where the musician likened Israel’s treatment of Palestinians to Nazi atrocities. His use of Holocaust imagery in his performances has also drawn sharp criticism. Waters’ infamous “pig-shaped balloon” emblazoned with a Star of David during concerts has been labeled by critics as deeply offensive and emblematic of his alleged antisemitic views.

Jewish advocacy groups such as the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and the Simon Wiesenthal Center have called for immediate action, urging concert promoters and venues to distance themselves from the artist. “We cannot stand idly by while Waters continues to spread hate and division under the guise of activism,” said ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt in a statement.

As the pressure mounts, Waters’ camp has denied the accusations, insisting that his activism is targeted solely at the Israeli government, not Jewish people as a whole. However, the controversy has ignited a fierce debate over the line between political protest and hate speech, with Waters finding himself at the center of a storm that shows no signs of calming down.

American venues are now facing an agonizing decision: whether to stand by a rock legend or heed the calls for cancellation from those demanding accountability.
