Water\u2019s Jewish detractors insist that \u201cthe Star of David is regarded as a fundamentally important symbol in the Jewish faith.\u201d This is actually a debatable statement, some scholars argue that the Star of David is not a Judaic symbol.\u00a0 However, Jews and Zionists in particular better bear in mind that the Star of David certainly decorates Israeli warplanes and tanks that carry war crimes against civilians. \u00a0As such, the Star of David deserves to be presented along other symbols of oppression and this is not going to change even when Israel disappears.<\/h5>\n<h5>Next to the Star of David, on the wild pig balloon, there was also a sign of oil conglomerate Shell. I believe that the message is clear.\u00a0 The artist is there to succeed where our politicians and media outlets are failing: While our politicians, academia and media are practically owned by the Lobby or silence by political correctness, the artist still celebrates a relative autonomy. I believe that this fact may explain my own survival through the intensive orchestrated Jewish onslaught on my work.<\/h5>\n<h5>Trending Central\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.trendingcentral.com\/anti-semitic-display-at-roger-waters-concert\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">reported <\/span><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">today<\/span><\/a> that many (Jewish) viewers \u2018were disgusted with what they saw. \u201cI had a lot of fun, until I noticed the\u00a0Star of David\u00a0on the inflatable pig.\u201d Said Alon Onfus Asif. \u201cAnd 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.\u201d<\/h5>\n<h5>The Simon Wiesenthal Centre has strongly condemned the heroic singer, they described the relevant act as a\u00a0<em>\u201cclassic anti-Semitic caricature, disgusting, widely used by the Nazi and Soviet propaganda to incite hatred against the Jews.\u201d<\/em> I believe that time is ripe for The Simon Wiesenthal Centre and other Jewish organisations to critically examine the conduct of the Jewish State and its lobby. \u00a0Such an act may eventually explain why David ended up starring on a pig balloon.<\/h5>\n<h5>The Wandering Who?
