Disturbed frontman David Draiman has blasted Roger Waters for his continued support of a cultural boycott of Israel. Draiman called the former Pink Floyd singer “delusional” over his support for the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) campaign, which aims to pressure Israel to end the occupation of Palestine, among other things. "The man is so delusional, the man is so wrapped up in his own psychosis and his own hatred disguised as this quote-unquote BDS campaign," Draiman, whose maternal grandparents survived the Holocaust, told Israel’s Met Al Metal radio show. "The man is a very sick man. "He performed [in Israel] and he made up stories about it – incorrect stories. I don't know if you've heard him try to go ahead and say how, during that one performance, he tried to address the Israeli crowd and ask for peace and supposedly was met with negativity and boos, and whatever, and then they go ahead and show the video from the actual performance so many years ago, and the Israeli fans were cheering for peace. “I don't know what he did, drug-wise, during his life, but whatever he did fried a bunch of brain cells. The guy is not operating on all cylinders anymore." Disturbed play their very first show in Israel today (July 2).

"Never Again" Never Again... Never Again... They had a frightening desire for genocide They wouldn't stop 'til what was left of my family died Hell-bent on taking over the world You couldn't hide in the shroud of conformity We can't forget how we were devastated by the beast And how we pleaded with our captors for release We were hunted for no reason at all One of the darkest times in our history All that I have left inside Is a soul that's filled with pride I tell you Never Again Their depraved society Didn't end up killing me Scream with me Never Again Not again A generation that was persecuted endlessly Exterminated by the Nazi war machine We will remember, let the story be told To realize how we lost our humanity You dare to tell me that there never was a Holocaust You think that history will leave the memory lost Another Hitler using fear to control You're gonna fail this time for the world to see All that I have left inside Is a soul that's filled with pride I tell you Never Again Their depraved society Didn't end up killing me Scream with me Never Again Not again All that I have left inside Is a soul that's filled with pride I tell you Never Again Their depraved society Didn't end up killing me Scream with me, Never Again For the countless souls who died Let our voices fill this night Sing with me, Never Again They aren't lost you see The truth will live in me Believe me, Never Again
These Laws Banning Boycotts Aren’t Really Pro-Israel—but They Are Surely un-American Imagine being told that you’ll lose your job with a state government unless you pledge not to boycott Saudi Arabia in response to its policies—such as the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Or that you will not be hired by that state unless you promise for the term of your contact that you won’t advocate a boycott of goods made in, say, Iran because you oppose their policies, such as their support of the terrorist group Hezbollah in Lebanon? What would be your reaction? I’m guessing, like most, you would say this law is not just outrageous but unconstitutional and un-American. And you would be 100 percent correct. But when Texas and other states have passed those exact laws that result in people being fired from their jobs or not hired simply because they want to protest Israeli policies under Benjamin Netanyahu, we barely hear a peep. There should be no exception to our First Amendment rights because certain politicians disagree with our political views. You see, in 2017, the Republican-controlled Texas legislature passed a bill signed into law by Texas’s GOP governor Greg Abbott that required anyone seeking to do business with Texas to certify that he or she “does not currently boycott Israel” and “will not boycott Israel during the term of the contract.”
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen.

The essential feature of government is the enforcement of its decrees by beating, killing, and imprisoning.
Those who are asking for more government interference are asking ultimately for more compulsion and less freedom.
