In an interview with Ellin Bessner of the CJN Daily Podcast, Israeli-Canadian businessman Sylvan Adams has floated an idea for the ages: to bring to Israel Bono and Pink Floyd for an October 7th commemoration concert:
I love this idea if only for the fact it has pissed off antisemite Roger Waters, who responded with a screed in the appropriately named rabble.ca:
In a recent interview with The Canadian Jewish News, Mr. Adams, who in the past has paid both the pop singer Madonna and the Argentine National football team to whitewash Israeli apartheid, says he’s trying to have Pink Floyd reform to play a concert in Israel at one of the kibitzes affected by the attack on October 7, 2023. Mr. Adams is quick to avow that this plan would not include the “Nutball” Roger Waters. Well at least you got that right dopey.
Mr. Adams revealed his “fantasy” to reunite Pink Floyd, (AKA Nick Mason and David Gilmour) would be part of a concerted campaign to attack conscientious students at McGill University who are protesting the genocide of the Palestinian people. MrAdams, who has had business cards printed describing himself as “Ambassador for Israel”, is demanding that McGill expel all the students opposing genocide. Already, McGill forced the student union to suspend the student group Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights and sought court injunctions to ban all protests on campus, but this isn’t enough for this heir to a fortune. Adams wants to destroy these conscientious young people’s prospects. Labeling student activists “antisemite fashionistas”, Mr. Adams claims they are funded by Iran, Qatar and China, countries who he claims have spent “trillions of dollars” to “infiltrate campuses”.

Mr. Adams does not reserve his capacity for racism for his anti-Palestinian bigotry. In the interview he disparages the former Black woman president of Harvard as “incompetent” and a “DEI hire”. He rants about Muslim and Arab immigrants seeking “Sharia law” who fail to “assimilate” to Canadian society. Mr. Adams concludes that “all Western countries are doomed” because Muslim immigrants “are after conquest”.
Mr. Adams, like most racist supremacists, is most likely a coward. It’s a penny to a pound, this “self-described “ambassador for Israel” wouldn’t have the gall or the balls to debate either of these issues in public,
1. Whether Israel is committing genocide?
2. Whether wealthy donors should be allowed to dictate university policy?
I suspect Mr. Adams will demur, preferring to work behind the scenes with his wealthy friends to press McGill’s president to expel these courageous students for opposing this monstrous genocide.
Also, I wish him the worst possible luck in the world in his attempts to suborn the name Pink Floyd, a name I am proud to have helped create, to celebrate the obscene horrors that the state he is so proud to represent has wreaked upon this our hapless world.
Waters calling Sylvan Adams dopey is hilarious.
As is his contention that Sylvan will be afraid to debate him.
Adams’ team has reached out to British journalist Piers Morgan, host of Piers Morgan Uncensored, offering to debate Waters on the program, and says that Morgan is interested in hosting the two. “I’m very happy to debate him,” he said. “I’m not afraid of him or anyone else.”
“He picked the wrong Jew to antagonize,” Adams noted.
Here’s hoping Waters’ follows through with the debate challenge, because he’ll be no match for Mr Adams.
