Jews in Manchester are angry that rock guitarist Roger Waters displayed an inflatable pig bearing a star of David during a concert, even though they warned the venue it would cause offence.
The Pink Floyd frontman, and well known supporter of a boycott of Israel, performed at the phones4u Arena Manchester last week as part of “The Wall” tour.
His use of the pig as a prop has been criticised by, among others, the Anti-Defamation League.
Sharon Bannister, vice president of the Manchester Jewish Representative Council, said: “It is very disappointing when someone who has such a strong fan base should choose to use such offensive imagery.”
