Roger Waters broadcasts cancelled in Germany over support for Israel boycott

German public broadcasters have dropped plans to air concerts next year by ex-Pink Floyd musician Roger Waters, citing what they call “accusations of antisemitism against him”.

Waters, part of one of the world’s most critically acclaimed and commercially successful rock bands from 1965 to 1985 before going solo, is a member of the Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement (BDS) that targets Israel over its occupation of territories where Palestinians seek statehood.

Finally some good news. I'm sorry Waters acts this way.

Finally some good news. I'm sorry Waters acts this way.

For Waters I'm not sorry one bit. For his fans I'm not sorry one bit.

For the Germans who gave him what he just got I'm Very Thankful.
