Roger Waters has sparked fury after he compared Israelis to Nazis.
The former Pink Floyd frontman had said that the Israeli rabbinate were "bizarre" and accused them of believing that Palestinians and other Arabs in the Middle East were "sub-human", the Guardian reported.
Waters had said that the "Jewish lobby" was "extraordinarily powerful", and that there were many people who pretended that the oppression of the Jews was not going on.
He went on to add that this was not a new scenario and right now Palestinian people were being murdered in the same way.
However, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach has raised his voice on Waters' views by saying that Nazis were a genocidal regime, who murdered six million Jews, and if he compared them with Palestinians then the singer has no decency, heart, or soul.
