Roger Waters is under fire for a seemingly anti-Semitic icon presented at a recent concert in Belgium. Here, he performs at GelreDome on July 18, 2013 in Arnhem, Netherlands. Pink Floyd's Roger Waters has found himself in hot water after he insulted the Jewish community with a seemingly anti-Semitic display at a recent concert. The incident happened Saturday, July 20 at a concert in Belgium, according to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. A giant, pig-shaped balloon emblazoned with the Star of David, as well as dictatorial symbols, dropped from the ceiling while Waters performed. His attire reportedly consisted of a long leather jacket and red-and-white arm band, "reminiscent of a Nazi uniform," per JTA. He was also carrying a fake machine gun. “I came to the concert because I really like his music, without any connection to his political stance toward Israel,” concertgoer Alon Onfus Asif, an Israeli living in Belgium, told Israel daily Yediot Ahronot. “And I had a lot of fun, until I noticed the Star of David, on the inflatable pig. That was the only religious-national symbol which appeared among other symbols for fascism, dictatorships and oppression of people. Waters crossed the line and gave expression to an anti-Semitic message, beyond all his messages of anti-militancy.” The Simon Wiesenthal Center, a global Jewish human rights organization, believes the intent was bigoted. Rabbi Abraham Cooper, a dean at the center, described the pig as a "classic disgusting medieval anti-Semitic caricature widely used by both Nazi and Soviet propaganda to incite hatred against Jews."
