92nd Street Y Hosts Roger Waters, Rock Star Leader of Boycott Israel Movement
UJA-Federation Provides Funds for Pink Floyd Singer to Advocate Boycott of “Criminal” Israel
On April 30, the 92nd St Y will host Roger Waters, lead singer of Pink Floyd, who’s a major figure in the Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel.
Waters accused Israel of “ethnic cleansing,” “apartheid” and “international crimes” in a speech to the United Nations, and led a boycott against the Israel Philharmonic’s performance at Carnegie Hall. He’s currently attempting to organize his fellow musicians to boycott performing in Israel and succeeded in pressuring Stevie Wonder to cancel a benefit performance for Friends of the Israel Defense Force.
On April 30th, he’ll present “An Evening with Roger Waters” at the 92nd St Y, in which he’ll talk about his life – a life he states is dedicated to attacking Israel through BDS.
“It’s absolutely outrageous that Jewish community funds are going to help Roger Waters spread his anti-Semitic message,” says Richard Allen of JCCWatch.org
“UJA-Federation gives $800,000 to the 92nd Street Y. Jewish donations are helping to provide Waters with a facility, marketing, and respectability, so he can win over more people with his anti-Israel lies.”
“Why would anyone give money to UJA-Federation, when its funds are being used to promote Boycotts Divestment and Sanctions against Israel?”
