“Your vile messages of anti-Semitism, anti-Zionism and hatred are not welcome in our community,” said a statement from the Greater Miami Jewish Federation.

Waters, 73, was to perform Thursday evening at the American Airlines Arena as part of a tour to promote a solo album.
Waters supports a movement called Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions which encourages a boycott of goods and services linked to construction of Israeli settlements in the Palestinian territories.
