Antisemitism charity launches petition against Waters’ Palladium shows

A leading antisemitism charity has launched a petition against former Pink Floyd musician Roger Waters’ forthcoming appearances at the London Palladium.

Waters, who as reported by Jewish News, has a well documented history of aggravated anti Semitic remarks, is due to perform at the iconic venue on 8th and 9th October before moving on to tour South America.

The petition, currently with 4,579 signatures addresses both Lloyd Webber and the event organiser Live Nation’s CEO and President of Live Nation Michael Rapino.

“Venues must not host his hate. 

Lord Lloyd Webber, Mr Rapino, these performances must not go ahead.

It says something about Mr Waters that he incessantly needs to insist that he is not an antisemite. He has used the most appalling antisemitic language, behaved abominably to Jewish people in his circle, has a penchant for breaching the International Definition of Antisemitism, has claimed that antisemitism is used as a “smear”, and has a long history of baiting Jews.

In light of this record and our latest revelations, venues must tell Roger Waters that he is no longer welcome. Artistic freedom does not justify hate.

Hey, Roger, leave those Jews alone.

Until he does, venues should not host his hate.”

In addition, Campaign Against Antisemitism is planning a public protest outside the London Palladium on Monday 9th October at 6pm.

It recently released a devastating 30-minute online documentary entitled The Dark Side Of Roger Waters, which revealed the musician wanted to write ‘Dirty kyke’ on inflatable pig at one of his concerts.
