Billy Joel Wears Yellow Star of David Amid Rising Neo-Nazi Activities

Bill Joel performed on stage at Madison Square Garden, and made quite the statement when he was wearing a yellow star of David similar to what Jewish people had to wear in Nazi Germany during the 1940s.

“I try to stay out of politics. I am a private citizen and I have a right to believe in my own political point of view, but I try not to get up on a soapbox and tell people how to think,” he said to Rolling Stone in June.

Stars like Christie Brinkley are showing support for Billy, writing on Instagram: “And on the day of the Solar Eclipse a yellow star appeared on the jacket of another kind of star with a clinched fist that seemed to be gripping painful, no excruciating, memories of loved ones who wore that star to their death. May that star also remind you today of the gold stars pinned to the jackets of soldiers for their bravery and valor for fighting an evil so hideous even the gold stars in the sky were afraid to shine. Thank you Billy for reminding people what was …so it may never ever be again. My darling @alexarayjoel another reason to be proud of your Pop.”
