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

    I feel like one the more insidious aspects of shit like this is that it gives a lot of ammo to actual antisemites who are always on about the "ZOG" and shit like that. Literally the US state department condemning an old musician because of obnoxious Eve Shartflow-type nerds on Twitter having meltdowns is exactly what chuds want to use as propaganda.
