Roger Waters Accused of Anti-Semitic Behavior Over Use of Word “Kike” in Brainstorming Email

He didn’t say “goyslop”?

He said “Jew food”?

It sounds to me like “goyslop” is confirmed to be a shitty meme. Always was.

Remember the PSA: “Only you can stop shitty forced memes from making everything on the internet unfunny.”

New York Post:

Pink Floyd co-founder and former frontman Roger Waters has been accused of sending an antisemitic email to his staffers proposing to write “Dirty k–e” on the inflatable pig habitually floated above his gigs.

London-based organization Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) has released disturbing emails and interviews in a documentary titled “The Dark Side of Roger Waters,” which uncovers a series of allegations of antisemitic behavior against the rocker.

In one email, the “Comfortably Numb” musician, 80, allegedly suggested “bombing” audiences with confetti in the shape of swastikas, Stars of David, and dollar signs.

Hey Guys, Who’s going to make pig? Would it work to go out on the stuka truss? I imagine it black with crossed hammers logo as 1980, but covered with symbols from Good by blue sky,’crosses, stars of david( that’s king david not david gilmour) crescent and star, dollar signs, shell oil shell, etc and epithets,’my pig right or wrong’ ‘f–k you’ ‘no,f–k you’ ‘dirty k–e’ ‘follow the money’ ‘Scum?’ etc. Roger,” one alleged email, dated March 25, 2010, read.

Waters, who was recently banned from speaking on the University of Pennsylvania campus amid allegations of antisemitism for his wearing a Nazi-inspired uniform and displaying Nazi imagery at a Berlin concert, was also accused of making a slew of antisemitic comments to his former collaborators, Norbert Statchel and Bob Ezrin.

Statchel, Waters’ former saxophonist, alleged that the musician lost his temper over vegetarian food at a restaurant and demanded that waiters “Take away the Jew food.”

Recalling the pair’s meal at a Lebanese restaurant years ago, Statchel alleged, “Finally the twelfth or thirteenth dish came out. The waiter seemed intimidated already by the attitude and personalities and the loudness and the kind arrogance and finally, this dish comes.”

“Roger kinda pushes it with his arm and he goes, ‘That’s it! That’s it! Where’s the meat? Where’s the meat? What’s with this? This is Jew food! What’s with the Jew food? Take away the Jew food!’ and I’m just sitting there: ‘Oh boy,’ you know, tongue-tied again and kind of in a panic.”

He also claimed that Waters mocked his grandmother who was murdered in the Holocaust, and that a colleague warned him not to react if he wanted to keep his job.

In May, the singer came under fire after donning a long black coat, black gloves, and black sunglasses — complete with a red armband — during a concert in Berlin.

The outfit resembled that of an SS officer.

Following outrage online, the US State Department subsequently said in a statement that Waters has “a long track record of using antisemitic tropes” and that his Berlin concert “contained imagery that is deeply offensive to Jewish people and minimized the Holocaust.”

Waters, however, defended his costume choice, saying it was a clear stance “in opposition to fascism, injustice, bigotry in all its forms.”

“My recent performance in Berlin has attracted bad faith attacks from those who want to smear and silence me because they disagree with my political views and moral principles,” he said in a statement on May 26.

“Attempts to portray those elements as something else are disingenuous and politically motivated. The depiction of an unhinged fascist demagogue has been a feature of my shows since Pink Floyd’s ‘The Wall’ in 1980.”

This is obviously a bomb they’ve been waiting to drop.

But he is already banned from everything at this point. They’re canceling his shows and speaking engagements all over the world.

None of his fans are going to think that saying “kike” in an email means anything.
