A Jewish group is up in arms over the approaching Canadian tour by former Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters, accusing the rock singer of “a malicious and intensive campaign against Israel and the Jewish people.”

Waters is an outspoken critic of Israel and a leader of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, a global campaign that “works to end international support for Israel’s oppression of Palestinians and pressure Israel to comply with international law,” according to its website.
