The Biden administration is weighing in on the controversy over Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters, saying his recent performances in Germany were antisemitic, an assessment shared by many in Israel and the pro-Israel community. The State Department said Tuesday that Waters has “a long track record of using antisemitic tropes" and a concert he gave late last month in Germany “contained imagery that is deeply offensive to Jewish people and minimized the Holocaust.”

“I am sick & disgusted by Roger Waters’ obsession to belittle and trivialize the Shoah & the sarcastic way in which he delights in trampling on the victims, systematically murdered by the Nazis,” [EU antisemitism envoy] von Schnurbein wrote. “In Germany. Enough is enough.”

yes this is still about him honoring a victim of the Israel's genocide alongside Anne Frank

    Only accusing the wall of being antisemitic after its been performed for fifty years already just because the author came out against your policy is just using the language of defending minorities to further your political aims.
