Waters is a major proponent of the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement against Israel, and has penned a letter to fellow musicians asking them to boycott the country as well.

But Waters apparently uses an image of the Israeli model during his shows, which Refaeli called him out on Wednesday.

“Roger Waters, you better take my picture off of the video art at your shows. If you’re boycotting - go all the way," Refaeli tweeted in Hebrew, according to a translation in Israeli newspaper Haaretz.

According to Haaretz, Refaeli previously said she was "honored" to spot her photo during a Waters concert in 2011.

Waters was criticized last month after he raised an inflatable pig featuring the Star of David alongside symbols of fascism and repressive regimes.

“Waters deployed a classic disgusting medieval anti-Semitic caricature widely used by both Nazi and Soviet propaganda to incite hatred against Jews," the Simon Weisenthal Center said at the time.

Waters made his latest call for an Israeli boycott in a letter addressed to his "colleagues in rock and roll" posted on his Facebook page Aug. 18.

"Please join me and all our brothers and sisters in global civil society in proclaiming our rejection of apartheid in Israel and occupied Palestine, by pledging not to perform or exhibit in Israel or accept any award or funding from any institution linked to the government of Israel, until such time as Israel complies with international law and universal principles of human rights," Waters wrote.
