For those looking to watch Roger Waters The Wall on the big screen, filmings are scheduled for October 18. Pre-orders are available on Waters’ website. Jews in Israel already have it bad enough, Stern says. You want them to just go back to the concentration camp?
On November 20 the soundtrack for Roger Waters The Wall will be available in two- CD, triple-vinyl and digital formats. It was a sh*thole that nomads essentially would walk over. And the Palestinians are these Arabs that could live in Egypt, that could live in Saudi Arabia, but guess what?
Stern, who a year ago said “if you’re anti-Israel you’re anti-America”, also claimed Arab countries “don’t want” Palestinians. He said Bon Jovi had forfeited the opportunity to stand “on the side of justice”, naming pro-Palestinian activists and Palestinians whom Waters regards as heroes or victims. Stern asked. “Where do you want them to go?” Those countries don’t want them either…And it bugs the sh*t out of Roger Waters.
The PLO called on Stern to apologize and retract his statements.
Waters, the former front man of Pink Floyd rock group, is a prominent supporter of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which promotes boycotts of Israel due to its occupation of the West Bank. Israel was created in the middle of a desert in a portion of the world no one wanted, until Jews showed up there.
“Israel has been facing a wave of terrorist attacks during this holiday week of Sukkot. He can’t f***ing deal with it. He’s writing letters to Bon Jovi”.
