Amnesty International was blasted on Wednesday by Jewish human rights group the Simon Wiesenthal Center for selecting “anti-Semite” Roger Waters, the former Pink Floyd bassist and a leader in efforts to culturally boycott Israel, to present it’s top humanitarian Ambassador of Conscience award.
“Once again, Amnesty International is signaling that its fight for human rights apparently does not extend to anti-Semitism,” Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, said in a statement.
