Pink Floyd Bassist Roger Waters Changes Concert Video After ADL Raises Concerns [View All]

(JTA) -- Pink Floyd bassist Roger Waters reportedly changed one of the videos he uses in his new "The Wall" tour after claims it was anti-Semitic.

The ADL had slammed Waters last week for using what it said was anti-Semitic imagery during performances of "Goodbye Blue Sky," which targets Israel's West Bank security fence.

An animated scene projects images of planes dropping bombs in the shape of Jewish Stars of David, dollar signs, a crucifix, a hammer and sickle, a crescent and star, a Mercedes sign and a Shell Oil sign.

The ADL had expressed concern that the juxtaposition of the Star of David and the dollar sign "could easily be misunderstood as a comment about Jews and money."

But in the Oct. 6 version of the show played at Madison Square Garden, a Mercedes symbol followed the Jewish stars instead of dollar signs, Rolling Stone magazine reported.
