Roger Waters says he's heading to Frankfurt, Germany, despite the local authority’s attempt to ban his concert.
The Pink Floyd legend's Frankfurt tour stop, planned for May 23, was canceled by the city council amid accusations that Waters is antisemitic. He’d called the move “unjustifiable” and last month said he’d instructed his lawyers to fight the cancellation, along with another in Munich on May 21.
After noting that the deadline for the city to respond to his interim injunction had passed, Waters' new message continued: “Not that it matters much! We’re coming anyway! Because human rights matter! Because free speech matters!” Referring to the Nazi attacks on Jews across Germany on Nov. 9, 1938, it added: “We remember Kristallnacht! Like Sophie Scholl our fathers stood with those 3,000 Jewish men, and today we stand with the Palestinians!” Noting a new date, the message ended: “We’re coming to Frankfurt on the 28th of May!”
At the time of the cancellations Waters issued a statement, condemning them as “unconstitutional, without justification and based upon the false accusation that Roger Waters is antisemitic, which he is not.” His position was later supported in a petition to have the shows reinstated, signed by a wide range of artists including Nick Mason, Eric Clapton and Tom Morello.
Syd Barret was a promising young musician who was driven insane by having to spend time with the bands other guitarist.
get it right next time, Froederick lol.... it’s only the name of one the most important people in world history. Not really a spellcheck thing
His father died at the brutal Battle of Anzio, along with 7,000 other Allied troops. Was Mussolini a Jew? Bob Dole nearly died in Italy, and never blamed Jews, loved Israel, and if anything blamed "Democrat wars."
Lol no
Mussolini was fired as Prime Minister on July 25th, 1943. By the time of the Battle of Anzio, he was under house arrest by the Germans.
Heard all that before, from leftists. The anti-Zionistic Jews are generally some form of self-hating leftist, including heresies within the orthodox movement.
I encourage you to take your own advice, to read. There are key prophecies in Zechariah with respect to this, for example.

Indeed!
The wall I thought he was more like the Black Shirt Fascists that tried to take over the UK parliament.
time to watch it again.
H.P. Lovecraft was married to a Jewish woman, despite being anti-Semitic.
His father died in Anzio fighting Nazis .
I guess it comes down to what are the definitions of these words like anti-semitic, racist, sexist, homophobic, etc.
