Howard Stern Rants About Roger Waters

Howard Stern

Radio personality Howard Stern delivered a seven-minute rant Tuesday against former Pink Floyd bassist Roger Waters for advocating a boycott of the Jewish state.

He’s got to shut up, Roger Waters,” Stern said on his popular radio show.

“What is with Roger Waters and the Jews? … Where do you want the Jews to go, Roger? You want them to just go back to the concentration camp? What is it you want, f**khead?” he asked.

The Times of Israel reports Stern then mocked Waters for focusing on Israel. “It seems like you’re a little too consumed with it,” he suggested.

Waters, a founding member of the rock band Pink Floyd and an activist in the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel, published an open letter criticizing rocker Jon Bon Jovi for performing in Tel Aviv on Oct. 3.

A frequent critic of Israel, Waters published the letter in Salon on Friday, responding to Bon Jovi telling Israeli newspaper Yediot Ahronoth last week that he is “excited to come” to Israel despite Waters’s efforts to deter musicians from performing there.
