After criticism from Palestinian fans and activists, he visited the occupied West Bank, saw the Israeli separation wall, and said it shocked him. He apologized for performing in Israel and vowed not to play there again. Quote (2006): “The wall is an appalling edifice. I’ve seen it, and it’s a horrific thing to behold.” 2009–2011: Joins BDS Movement Waters publicly joins the BDS campaign, calling for artists to boycott Israel. He starts writing letters to fellow musicians, urging them not to perform there. 2013–2017: Increased Public Activism Becomes one of the most vocal celebrities in support of Palestinian rights.
