RS Howard Stern Blasts Roger Waters Over Israel Boycott

Howard Stern shared strong words for former Pink Floyd member Roger Waters on a recent broadcast of his show, blasting the singer-songwriter Tuesday over his stance on Israel.


For years, the singer-songwriter has supported the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, supporting Palestine and urging his rock-star peers not to perform in Israel. "What is with Roger Waters and the Jews?" Stern said in a seven-minute rant on his show, via The Washington Free Beacon. "Why does Roger Waters live in America, a country that was founded on white people coming in and obliterating the native population? How does he stand it? Why don't we just all leave?"

Most recently, Waters published an open letter to Bon Jovi, saying that the singer was "shoulder to shoulder with the settler who burned the baby." The statement irked Stern, who went on to describe how he sees Israel and its place in the Middle East.

"Where's the one place they can stick Jews where no one will be offended? Because the Jews are getting killed all over the world," Stern said. "Give them a little homeland on a desert where there's no water, where essentially no one could live. And no one did live there despite the bullshit. And the Palestinians are these Arabs that could live in Egypt, that could live in Saudi Arabia, but guess what? Those countries don't want them either. So they have a country, and Israel has a tiny little country and it bugs the shit out of Roger Waters."

Stern went on to say that he knows Waters and that the singer-songwriter had recently gone up to him and said, "Thanks a lot," in a sarcastic tone. "I guess he's offended by me pointing this out," the radio host said. "Why can't I talk? Why can't I tell you I think you're full of shit, and it seems like you're a little too consumed with it?"

A representative for Waters declined to comment.

In August, Waters told Israeli newspaper Haaretz that it's not Israel he hates, but what he considers apartheid there. "People are always saying, 'BDS is trying to delegitimize Israel,'" he said. "No, it's not. It's trying to stop the oppression of the Palestinian, Bedouin and other Arab peoples of the region you are oppressing. It's trying to stop you oppressing your fellow human beings. It's not trying to delegitimize Israel."

 

Maybe Howard should concentrate on building the stupid Bianca "addition" and worry less about what age in rock stars have to say about crap over the middle ... just a thought

 

I'm with Roger Waters. Bon Jovi should not play Israel. Or anywhere, for that matter.

 

Yeah but why did Stern lick his balls for an hour knowing that Waters hates Israel when he was in studio on the show?
Roger has been overtly anti Israel for years!

 

Howard doesn't know dick about dick. Well, actually, he does know about dick. But anyway, all Howard hears is Jews and that's it, he's off spouting his bullshit he pulls directly from his ass. Any info on the subject he does have in his narrow little mind was fed to him by his lunatic daughter.

 

Howard loves not to know.

 

Um, 0.0 show prep?

 

There is no such thing as a 'Palestinian'.
Arabs in Israel are treated better than Arabs in any other Arab country.
Water is just a really poor excuse for a human being.

 

Roger probably didn't invite him and beef to a Hamptons party and now he's mad at him.

 

Because whoever did the prep that day didn't tell Howard about it.

 

I agree 100% with Howard on this one

Roger can't get along with Pink Floyd, his wife but is so worried about Jews in Israel. Fuck that asshole

 

i loathe to agree with the wig but thats a fair point.

absolute bullshit, first of all bedouins arent oppressed they are full citizens with the same rights as any jews and they even serve in the army despite that they arent obligated to do so. i guess in progressive crazy land they would be better off under ISIS or the taliban or the monarchy of jordan, saudi, qatar..etc...

second of all BDS stated goal is the destruction of israel and the creation of a muslim controlled state in the land it currently occupies. the founder has said it many times and never equivocates about these things, many other leaders of BDS have said the same thing.

look if thats what you believe , great, but its total bs to claim you support BDS and a two-state solution its mutually exclusive.

 

bds is a joke, and all arab nations are oppressive shit holes run by crazy ppl but yeah israel is the problem sure

 

Love Howards Hat. Jackie should take a shit in it like he did the Stanley Cup.

 

I didn't say it was. I didn't say Roger was right, I said Howard never knows what he's talking about. He doesn't ever gather a real opinion through research. He just spouts off from his ass or what he heard someone else say. He loves to talk as an authority, but he's never informed. He's just an empty loudmouth. Howard is a supporter of Israel like Beth is an animal activist.

 

I don't care what anyone thinks, I still like Pink Floyd.

 

Fuck Howard and his zionist love. Fuck the rest of the jews for spawning such a fucking asshole.

 

I do too, but Stern is more on the right side than Waters on this subject imho...

 

And fuck anyone who hates Jews just for being Jewish...
