No, we don’t have to. But we do need to understand that disliking Israel is not always the same as hating Jews. Some do indeed hate them for being Jewish. Some hate them for the USS Liberty attack. Some hate them for selling military tech to red China. Some dislike them for sending spies like Pollard against us. And again, some people do hate them for being Jewish.
But it’s intellectually lazy to decide anyone hating Israel hates Judaism.
“the false accusation that Roger Waters is antisemitic, which he is not”
Sure, I know lots of people who are not antisemitic who fly giant balloons of pigs and put the Star of David on them.
I wasn’t talking about the walls. I was talking about the Nazi salute.
Well then you’d think he would have been a fan of Oswald Mosley.
You just like their music, so you are trying to get around what they believe. I have a degree in literature, sorry.
So, you are saying no one who is against Israel can be anti-Semitic?
“I read the words to The Wall, it’s clearly promoting Nazism.”
Waters was trying to make a satirical statement about Nazis in The Wall. In case you didn’t notice, or didn’t watch the movie maybe, the whole “Nazi” persona is the result of the main character having a psychotic break (”Pink isn’t well, he stayed back at the hotel...”).
The accusations about him and antisemitism come from other stuff that he’s said and done, not from “The Wall”.
What You are claiming that Trump, Fauci, Birx, Newsom, Cuomo, Whitmer, Biden etc. are Jewish? Can you please provide evidence they are Jewish.
I think that changed when France fell, and it started to look like the Nazis were going to gang up with the Japs. The biggest issue was with what would happen with all those French colonies, especially Indochina; if the Japs got those, that would change everything.
At the very least, Americans realized they’d better start preparing to go to war.
I don't hope the arrest him. In a liberal society, you can't just criminalize ideas, no matter if they are repugnant.
Wow. So incredibly wrong
And schnapps.
That would be a step too far.
“Show me one other rock star who portrays himself as a Nazi.”
David Bowie. Thin White Duke era.
It's also intellectually lazy to not see that many anti-Semites, defend themselves by saying they aren't anti-Semitic, they are only anti-Israel. Do you concede that?
Can you explain why he had a giant pig with a Star of David on it? He put a symbol of Jews, not the Israeli flag. Pigs are something JEWS can't eat, not Israelis.
take it easy, dude
He’s definitely made some stupid statements, and is wrong about a lot, but aren’t we all. The music will live forever though.
That was the cocaine talking.
