Jewish institutions in Argentina have launched a campaign against Pink Floyd's former leader Roger Waters because of their support for the boycott of the Israeli Movement.
Water & # 39; & # 39; Us + Them & # 39; & # 39; traveled through Latin America during the past month and will continue in December.
Online campaigns by the Argentine citizens' organization call on the citizens of the region to deny the presence of a British singer and upcoming concerts. Vatera called the campaign "one of the great anti-Semites of our time" in protest of what he called his hate speech.
"We, Latino Americans, say to Roger Waters – we want you not to be here!" – Repeating the song Pink Floid "Vish Iou Vere Here," says his campaign Change.org.
Officials from Center Simon Viesenthal invited corporate sponsors of the tour, including Entel, Cencosud, Grupo Aval and Bac Credomatic and Citibanamek, to withdraw their financial support. The center also said that South American hosts in Waterhouse should condemn the abuse of their hospitality and his hate message.
On Friday, Vaters participated in the Boicott, Divestment and Sansings Movement that targeted Israel in Buenos Aires, the day before it was there.
"We must insist on our local authorities to put pressure on Israel in favor of the human rights of the Palestinians," he said in a program called "The World Without Walls" organized by BDS Argentina.
The waters on his shows showed pig with Star David.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center has made a link between the two media outlets that medieval antisemites used an iconography that marked the Jewish pig or Judensau to humiliate and dehumanize Jews.
"Using this 21st Century technology symbol, Vaters contributes to a series of anti-Semitic hatreds," the Center said in a statement.
"The waters have come to Uruguay and Argentina to promote the BDS – boycott, confiscation, sanctions – declared illegitimate in a growing number of European jurisdictions, based on attacks in Nazi Germany on Jewish shops and businesses to the" Kaufen nicht bei Juden " from the Jews), "said Simon Samuels, director of the International Relations Center at Viesenthal on Friday. "The time of his hatefest tour led to today's 80th anniversary of the" Kristallnacht "(Night of Broken Glass).
"In Germany and Austria, 1,500 synagogues were burned, and 30,000 Jews were sent to concentration camps," he wrote about the pogroms.
Samuel said that Waters "should be treated as the persona non grata in all democratic countries."
