Tony Blair Blasts Roger Waters for Spewing "Ideological Poison" about Israel
(Mail on Sunday-UK) Glen Owen - Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair has condemned Pink Floyd guitarist Roger Waters for comparing the Israeli government to Nazi Germany. "I think the criticism [of Israel by Waters] is so ludicrous that it indicates a basic hostility to the notion of a homeland for the Jewish people....You've got to overcome the legacy of that ideological poison which has dripped into the system over many decades," he said. "I'm a great fan of the music of Pink Floyd, but I don't agree with Roger Waters and his campaign. I think it is part of a wider alliance which is dangerous and worries me...which is the leftist-Islamist alliance. It's a growing problem...there is nothing progressive about a totalitarian ideology."
