Roger Waters broadcasts cancelled in Germany over support for Israel boycott

quote [ 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”. ]

I see this as a pretty blatant example of "antisemitism" being used to bludgeon free and fair criticism.

If Pink Floyd had a history of antisemitism, than okay, but as far as I know they are not and have never been Nazi sympathizers. Hey, what do I know .. maybe I'm just reading the lyrics wrong ..

I think this debate really stems from a lack of principles. I clarified mine a few years ago by using a simple tool: Google Maps

It's pretty clear who is in the wrong when you realize the dividing line between those two obviously distinct lands is a militarized fence and none of those living inside the concentrated area are allowed to leave.
