New documentary focuses on Roger Waters' antisemitism
United With Israel reported on the making of a new documentary exposing the antisemitism Roger Waters has been involved in promoting and encouraging:
Ahead of former Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters’ Canadian tour in October, B’nai Brith Canada and award-winning filmmaker Ian Halperin are set to premiere a new film—“Wish You Weren’t Here”—exposing the anti-Israel rocker’s history of promoting anti-Semitism.And for this, he's lost a lot of audience and some sponsors over the years, and nobody should be wasting any money on his concerts now. This is, interestingly and ideally, a documentary focusing on modern antisemitism:
Waters—who has compared the Israeli government to Nazi Germany and has claimed the “powerful Jewish lobby” runs the media—is arguably the most vocal figure behind the anti-Israel BDS movement. He is also the most prominent voice in pressuring other artists to boycott performances in the Jewish state.
“It starts with Roger Waters, but it’s all about contemporary anti-Semitism, which is thriving and the world is turning a blind eye,” Halperin said. “There’s no place for this in today’s world….It’s time to call a spade a spade.”I'll be pleased if revolting and degrading figures like former French president Jaques Chirac are brought up, because they were responsible for enabling modern antisemitism to go over the edge. It's the modern antisemites as far back as the turn of the century, still around today, whom everybody needs to know about.
