Rockers in the
news!
From The
Idiot Factor:
More and more
mainstream celebrities are coming out in favor of supporting the rights of
Palestinians and opposing their oppressive conditions at the hands of Israel.
But that doesn’t mean it happens without flak from Mainstream corporations who
still side with Israel. The latest musician is Roger Waters, who played for
years, for the band Pink Floyd.-SJ Otto
According to FoxNews:
“Roger Waters is planning his most spectacular and expensive tour yet — but the Pink Floyd legend
is facing backlash from some big-name sponsors over his views on Israel.
Sources tell us
that American Express balked at spending up to $4 million to sponsor Waters’
2017 US + Them North American tour.”
Also according
to the Fox articles Waters said:
“I have been accused
of being a Nazi and an anti-Semite for the past 10 years. My industry has been
particularly recalcitrant in even raising a voice [against Israel] . . . I’ve
talked to a lot of them, and they are scared s - - tless. If they say something
in public, they will no longer have a career. They will be destroyed.”
He also slammed
Presidential Candidate Donald Trump:
“Waters, who has
angered many in New York with his support for a boycott of Israel over the
issue of Palestinian rights, shocked people at Oldchella by
unleashing a series of brutal images targeting Donald Trump, and slogans such as
“F - - k Trump and his wall” and “Arrogant, lying, racist, sexist,” then
voicing solidarity with students protesting for Palestinians. He also urged
people to support the controversial BDS Movement (boycott, divestment and
sanctions against Israel) and added, “I encourage the government in Israel to
end the occupation.”
