Pink Floyd’s ‘The Wall’ has claimed that Roger Waters exhibited anti-Semitic behaviour towards band’s agent.It comes as a new documentary, The Dark Side of Roger Waters, explores allegations of antisemitism against the Pink Floyd co-founder.Producer Bob Ezrin in a new online documentary created by the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism (CAA), claims that he once heard Waters call the band’s agent, Bryan Morrison, a “fucking Jew” during a ditty.Ezrin claimed: “Something like the last line of the couplet was ’cause Morry is a fucking Jew’. It was my first inclination that there may be some anti-Semitism under the surface.
Now Roger knew that I’m Jewish so I didn’t know whether this was another one of those sort of button-poking things that he was doing just to see if I would react or whether he just did not even get how offensive that might be to a Jewish person.”Elsewhere, saxophonist Norbert Stachel who played for Waters recalled the musician angrily rejecting food in a restaurant that he allegedly deemed “Jew food”.Stachel alleged Waters said: “This is Jew food. What’s with the Jew food? Take away the Jew food.” Stachel continued: : I’m just sitting there, oh boy, tongue-tied again and kind of in a panic because I don’t know what to do.
Am I supposed to leave and then be judged?”He went on to claim Waters mocked his family, some of were killed in the Holocaust, by mimicking them. He explained: “He tried to go into character as a babushka and he puts on this impression of an old hag,” Stachel claimed.
