Roger Waters

Roger Waters Cried Wednesday. It Was on His Twitter Page, as He Read, on Camera, an Essay He Had Read on the Mondoweiss News Website the Night Before.

And the next day he added, “Without a doubt, this is a feather in the cap” for Lapid (Haaretz, August 8). The suit that was filled (with blood) and the feather in the cap are the real spoils of this war, which ended in “a dream for Israel.” A dream of war. The usual arrogance was accompanied this time by the addictive feeling of a sweet, easy victory. There hasn’t been a success like this since Israel’s victory in the 1967 Six-Day War. Another few days of fighting and there would even be albums. Let’s even assume that Waters really is an “antisemite” and “someone who hates Israel” – which he isn’t. But crying over a boy from Gaza? What about the children of Sderot? He’s the family breadwinner, a boy of 13. It was about a boy from the Gaza Strip.
