[redacted] — references a question about an individual and a music band (text fully redacted)
Greeting John (and everyone on the cc list),
Do know of any journalist who mayt ask Roger Waters for comments on the Eagles of Death Metal and the Bataclan theater, since both were known for their pro-Israel activities and opposition to BDS, including the band's profane response to Waters' demand that they boycott Israel?
Although the band's conflict with BDS and specifically with Water is well-documented, I have not seen any comment from them, though I have seen comments from BDS-supporters that the band and venue suffered the worst of the attack (- 90 murdered; - 200 wounded) as 'karma' for opposing the Boycott and expressing affection for Israel.
There does not appear to be any comment from Waters, and I cannot even find a single story indicating that anyone has asked him or BDS for any reaction to their previous (verbal) attacks on them, or on the more recent murderous attacks.
What does Waters think of the Eagles of Death Metal now? What does he think of the Paris attacks, and does he believe that BDS (which has been accused of dehumanizing Zionists and justifying anti-Israeli violence) was in any involved in the selection of the pro-Israel venue & band for the murderous attack? Or does he believe it is just a coincidence that they were targeted, and that the attack had nothing to do with their pro-Israel support?
Do you (or anyone on cc list) know of any reputable journalist who may be interested in requesting responses from Waters?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Thanks in advance.

PS: Here's a couple of paragraphs, supported by reliable sources (eg New York Times, etc.► and documentary evidence (eg YouTube videos that substantiate reviews of both the band's conflict with Waters & BDS and also video of masked pro-Palestinian protesters making explicit threats of violence against the Balaclan. The usual group of semi-professional anti-Zionist Wikieditors are busy tag-teaming 'unedits' of this content, of course. :-)
It would be good if real journalists covered the subject in a professional manner, if they agree that his is a legitimate news story.
