Recently, Disturbed frontman, proud Jew, and Israel-supporter David Draiman sat down with fellow musician Billy Corgan. The ensuing discussion is highly engaging, with David articulating well why he supports Israel and how false narratives around Israel and the conflict are being disseminated. I highly recommend you give it a listen or watch.
One person to not appreciate it was antisemitic musician Roger Waters, someone who loves disseminating false narratives around Israel and the conflict.
Roger Waters calling anyone else a “little piece of shit” and “a psychotic racist Nazi pig” is pure projection and comedy gold. Besides that, he clearly did not bother listening to the discussion because David Draiman addressed this photograph (as he has before) and clearly expressed his support for peace and freedom for palestinian Arabs. He just happens to – unlike Roger Waters – have a handle on history (not to mention his drinking).
For his part, David Draiman responded to the ass… with class:
And let’s be clear: David Draiman knows exactly who and what Roger Waters is.

It is a classic study in contrasts: one man uses his platform to engage in nuanced, thoughtful dialogue about history and peace, while the other resorts to unhinged schoolyard name-calling and outright falsehoods.
