He's quite politically out of place among the usual empty-headed treason-huggers in his industry.

KISS star Gene Simmons said bands who don’t play Israel are “fools” and noted the “countries they should be boycotting are the same countries their populations are rebelling against.” This was a shot against acts such as The Pixies and Elvis Costello for their refusal to play in Israel. This a direct protest by the musicians for what they see as the ‘states treatment of the Palestinian people’.

Not only that, I think the two main guys in KISS are jewish. They aren’t your typical left wing self loathing jews either.
Interestingly enough, Kiss has never played Israel either. But according to Gene, it’s because there are so few venues there a tour of Israel would be prohibitively expensive for them.
So...did KISS ever play Israel?
Just wondering....
Ha! Thank you, you answered my question!
In their case, it’s because they wouldn’t profit from it.
I have some respect for Gene Simmons because he’s just about the only rock star who admits he’s in it for the money. He’s a whore just like the rest of them, but at least he’s honest about it.
Gene Simmons was born in Israel.
I kinda have to grit my teeth when I say this, but whenever Simmons comments on the culture I like most of what he says. He’s almost like my “non-Christian” twin regarding his perceptions.
He voted for Obama. He is a Democrat. Stop being fooled.
Gene Simmons is American as apple pie. He is one of the leading entertainers when it comes to supporting the troops.
He and his band put their money where their mouths are. There are more than one video on youtube where they give 100’s of thousands of dollars from concerts to wounded warriors.
I think he went on camera and repented for that sin saying he regretted voting for O.
He's quite politically out of place among the usual empty-headed treason-huggers in his industry.
Tough sh*t. He helped put the muslim in office.
But you have to understand Frantzie. One: She violently hates anyone who voted for O and will hold it against them for all eternity. Two: She is constantly bordering on Jew-hysteria and will seize ever opportunity to make it known. Three: Ignore her like everyone else :)
Bob Dylan is playing in Israel in June!
