Former Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters attacked singer Robbie Williams on Tuesday for planning to perform in Israel this Saturday.
He wrote his appeal to Williams on the Salon website under the headline, "Your decision to play in Tel Aviv gives succor to Netanyahu and his regime, and endorses their deadly racist policies."
Waters opened his letter by referring to the Israel Defense Force's killing of four Palestinian boys while playing soccer on a Gaza beach near the Al-Deira Hotel during Operation Protective Edge last summer.
"I bring up this gruesome scene because popular UK entertainer Robbie Williams, soon to play a May 2 concert in Tel Aviv, is known to be a huge soccer fan. He is also UNICEF’s UK ambassador and a declared supporter of its Children in Danger campaign," Waters wrote. "Yet, sadly, when it comes to Palestinian children, like those killed on that beach in Gaza that day, Williams is showing a chilling indifference to their well-being." Full story...
