Gene Simmons, Blathering Zionut

Gene Simmons Slams President Obama's Israel Policy.

Gene Simmons of the American rock band Kiss opines on Obama’s Israel policy. Hilarious. There are many ingeniously idiotic lines.

He wins the skeptics over with his first brilliant point that Obama shouldn’t set policies about the moon without going to the moon. That’s a sensible principle. NASA would love that. I wonder if Simmons thinks that celebrities-turned-pundits should visit Palestinian refugee camps before speaking about them publicly.

Simmons goes on to say how Obama — unlike himself by implication — doesn’t know what it’s like to live in the real world. Rock stars are so in touch with the people, man.

The highlight is when Simmons talks about shooting someone who breaks into his house — without at all getting the obvious irony that for Palestinians, Israel’s pioneers were the burglars who stole the houses. He’s too uninformed to even know the Palestinian narrative or too dull to sense irony.

Forget the fact that the 1967 borders have been the basis of American foreign policy for the past few decades (minus the W. Bush administration, whose foreign and economic policies the country is still trying to recover from).

In short, Gene Simmons can be expressed by this equation:

Gene Simmons = Right-wing Zionism + Years of drug abuse + Scant historical knowledge + The uniquely undeserved podium provided by former celebrity status + Excessive cussing

If it wasn’t the drugs or booze, either the leather pants were too tight for too long or the face makeup had some sort of chemical that seeped into his pores, causing irreparable neurological damage.

Feel free to point out his other crazy lines in the comments section.

P.S. I have always thought he is a dick, now I know for fact he is one. He should stick to his shit music his has been status.
