Their bass player Pink FloydRoger Waters, caused uproar and outrage when he dressed as a Nazi SS officer during a performance in Berlin and compared a dead Al Jazeera journalist to Anne Frankvictim of the Holocaust.
When he appeared at the Mercedes-Benz Arena last week, Waters, 79, wore a suit reminiscent of those used by Nazi officers with a red armband and crossed hammers and leather collar – the same uniform worn by the alleged neo-Nazi organization in the 1982 film Pink Floyd: The Wall.
Above him at the concert hung Third Reich-style banners, but with the swastikas covered by the crossed hammers, while an inflatable pig was painted with the logo of an Israeli arms company.
A giant screen showed names of dead figures, including Anne Frank next to Abu Aqleh, an Al Jazeera journalist who was fatally shot last year while covering an Israel Defense Forces raid on a Palestinian refugee camp.
The country’s Orthodox Jewish Rabbinical Union is now calling for Waters to be banned from performing in Germany — but the rocker continues to deny being anti-Semitic and only speaks out against Israeli policy.
