(JTA) — At the Israel premiere of a film in which he stars, actor Kevin Costner said he does not care whether anti-Israel activists, including Roger Waters, disapprove of his visit to the Jewish state.

“I don’t ask anyone’s permission to travel,” Costner said in an interview Tuesday at a news conference at the Cinema City multiplex near the Tel Aviv suburb of Herzliya.

Asked by a reporter whether Roger Waters, a British musician known for his role as former Pink Floyd frontman and for promoting boycotts on Israel, Costner said: “Who? I haven’t heard of it,” adding: “I’ve received lots of love here. I wouldn’t have missed that.”

1. LOL

2. I'm a big fan of Pink Floyd and Roger Waters

and people have the right to vote with their money. No quarrel with boycotts in general.

That being said, kudos to Kevin Costner. BDS is one boycott I don't identify with or support.

3. Good for Mr. Costner

I tossed everything pink floyd related years ago. Don't miss it at all.
