We trust that this friend cares first and foremost about our well-being. This is the friend with whom we share the idea of 'the good,' who can criticize us and make us better versions of ourselves. A third category of friend is so important that s/he should be acquired by all means. We trust these friends with all of our secrets, knowing that they will never betray us. Why then does the Mishnah use the term kene (acquire/buy)? According to Maimonides, we have many kinds of friends. Even in the 12th century, Maimonides knew that true friends could not be bought. The Mishnah teaches that one should 'Make for yourself a teacher acquire/buy for yourself a friend.' (Mishnah Avot 1:7) Maimonides, like many readers of the Mishnah, wondered why the imperative to find a friend is so much stronger than the need to find a teacher. In a strongly-worded open letter published Tuesday by The Telegraph, Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters once again denied being an anti-Semite, this time invoking his Nazi-fighting father. Wiesenthal center officials called on Water´s Latin American hosts to denounce his abuse of their hospitality and his message of hate.Jewish tradition has a model of friendship that goes deeper than a simple, “you’re with me or against me” approach. Waters performed two shows in Buenos Aires, following concerts in Brazil and Uruguay, and will perform through mid-December in Chile, Colombia and México. The timing of his hate-fest tour led up to today’s 80th anniversary of “Kristallnacht” (the Night of Broken Glass),” Dr.Shimon Samuels, the center’s director for International Relations, said in a statement issued on Friday. “Waters came to Uruguay and Argentina to promote BDS – Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions – declared illegitimate in a growing number of European jurisdictions as based on the attacks in Nazi Germany on Jewish shops and enterprises to the cries of “Kaufen nicht bei Juden” (No Buying from Jews). former pink floyd singer and bassist, roger waters, claimed in an interview on august 29, with hoda abdel-hamid, al jazeera english’s senior international correspondent, that he has never spoken an.

“Using this symbol treated with the technology of the 21st century, Waters contributes to the array of anti-Semitic hatred,” the center said in a statement.

The Simon Wiesenthal Centre has noted that medieval anti-Semites used an iconography that featured a Jewish pig or Judensau to humiliate and dehumanize Jews. Shows in which Waters displays a pig with a star of David also have irritated some Jewish global leaders. The Argentina Zionist Organization called Waters “one of the great anti-Semites of our time” in an online campaign protesting what it called his hate speech. “We must insist to our local governments to pressure Israel, in favor of the human rights of the Palestinians” he said during the program titled “A world Without Walls,” organized by BDS Argentina. Waters participated in an event of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel in Buenos Aires on Friday, a day before performing a concert there.
