It's Only Rock-N-Roll
While reading my NY Post newsletters, I stumbled across an article involving the writer of the Pink Floyd classic The Wall.
Roger Waters [writer] is scheduled to play Tel Aviv this summer. He was noted to have criticized the security fence being constructed in the West Bank to protect against terrorist attacks. Waters agreed to perform after Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip.
However, a group of "Palestinian" artists has written to Roger Waters asking him to cancel his concert. Sliman Manour of the Palestinian Association for Contemporary Art said, "How can someone who wants to look like a leftist in the world - fighting against the Berlin Wall, for open borders and for love between people - come to Israel while they are still building their wall and hold a musical event?"
*************************************************************
As far as I know the Berlin Wall and the West Bank fence are two entirely different things.
The truth was that East Germans did not like the Communist controlled society. They saw the West had more economic opportunity and political freedoms, and as a result, many left for the West. The East was economically threatened due to a heavy loss of labor. To prevent any further loss, the Berlin Wall was constructed, by East German troops in 1961. The migration numbers went down drastically. The Berlin Wall essentially trapped people longing for freedom under a Communist system.
As far as I know, the West Bank fence was built to protect Israeli citizens from terrorist attacks, not trap people. Any good leader knows that National Security is vital to the existance of its nation.
I hate the fact that these so called "artists" are trying to make this political. If Waters wants to perform, then he has every right to do so.
Hey "Palestinian artists"- Just SHUT THE F*** UP!!

Lets get this straight, my neighbors refuse to restrain their dogs and actually encourage them to crap in my yard, dig up my garden and tear up my trash. I put up a fence to keep my neighbors dogs out, and somehow, I'm the bad guy.
I guess I could just shoot their dogs!
this guy doesn't understand the difference between berlin and the west bank. he needs to take a serious education course on history.
you could shoot the dog. does your state have that "make my day" law?
"does your state have that "make my day" law? "
No, I was speaking metaphorically.
I would probably be charged with discharging a firearm in the city limits. A farmer may legally do so.
I wouldn't shoot a dog unless it threatened me or my family. In that case charges would not be filed. Fear of death or serious injury allows for justification of deadly force under Indiana law.
In reality, I could pen the dog and call animal control then file suite against my neighbor for damages. But in the real world, outside my metaphor, Israel has no similar recourse. So, shoot the dog!
you're damn right you kill the dog!!
lol!
elijah:
you're spot on. israel took it in the six days war in 1967.
