In a new appearance on “Uncensored Piers Morgan”, EMBRACE bassist/singer Gene Simmons he was asked if he thought the Jewish people should accept Kanye West‘s apologies for his series of anti-Semitic comments over the past few weeks. The 73-year-old rocker, who is Jewish, responded (transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “Well, you’ve certainly put me in an awkward position. I’m not here to speak on behalf of the Jews or the Jewish people or anything, although by birth I am one – in fact , an Israeli. I have no choice in the matter; it’s just the luck of the draw.
“Let me state in the interest of full disclosure: you-slash-Kanye and I have never met; we never e-mailed each other”, Embarrassed continued. “I have no idea what he has in mind. All I know is what the media showed me about him. And you [or] Kanye sounds, from all I’ve heard, it’s erratic behavior, from my perspective, respectfully, he looks really hurt, he looks hurt, so he’s on the loose. I understand.
“Let’s be clear about this: African Americans have been tortured physically, mentally, culturally for decades, centuries, but you are speaking to a people who have heard this story and who have been tortured mentally, physically for thousands years; it goes back to the Bible, which our people wrote and gave to the rest of you. So you have to go back in history and get an idea of what it all means. You talk about African Americans and Jews. The Jews did well, let’s be clear, because they worked for it. But have no illusions: racism and anti-Semitism exist side by side, and we are everything victimized in one way or another by the establishment in power, whoever and whoever they are; public consensus. But look back Martin Luther King. Do a little research – Google and Schmoogle. Who stands right next to Martin Luther King in a dangerous walk in Birmingham, with jesse jackson and all the others ? You have a rabbi holding a Torah. He’s right there in front, knowing full well that when he goes up north or up the east coast, he’ll be tortured by people who have different views.
“First, African Americans need to understand that Jews understand torture and racism because [we’ve] was there [and] keep being there” Simmons added. “Jews are not the most popular people on the planet, but there are many other peoples, races and other peoples who experience racism.
“So the only advice I have, as someone in the peanut gallery…I’m not a doctor. I’m not a doctor. I don’t know much about you Where Kanye. I heard, I have quite close friends and so on… If there is medicine, I respectfully invite sir to take the medicine. If he’s surrounded by the wrong people, find nicer people, because the most important thing you need to understand is when you’re a billionaire – and God bless him for that. This is the majesty, the miracle of the American capitalist system. There you go, in a country full of racism, the capitalist system has allowed you to become a billionaire.”
Last Monday (October 17),West appeared virtually on NewsNationit is “Cuomo” show up to discuss recent positions he’s had backlash for, buying a conservative social media app Speaking and his mental health. During the 20-minute chat, the rapper, who now goes by the mononym youmade more anti-Semitic comments claiming that the “Jewish underground media mafia” was after him and that he did not “believe” in the anti-Semitic term.
In response to Kanyethe affirmation of the “underground Jewish mafia of the media”, Cuomo fired back: “Listen, there is no Jewish media, no cabal, no mafia. It is the fruit of your imagination or the projection of a prejudice. You may have had bad business dealings with people – it’s about those people. religion or faith. And I know you’re smart and understand that when you target people because of their faith, other people can do the same.
West responded bluntly, “And I don’t condone it as a black person. What you just said is you’re trying to say there’s no collective – over 50% of executives and CEOs of Hollywood are Jewish. You can’t tell me what to do or feel.”
When he appeared on October 15 at the “Drinking Champions” podcast, West blamed “Jewish media” and “Jewish Zionists” for many alleged wrongdoings, saying that “Jews have owned the black voice” and that “the Jewish community, especially in the music industry… they will take and milk us to our death.”
Earlier in the month, Kanye drew criticism for wearing a ‘White Lives Matter’ t-shirt while presenting his collection at Paris Fashion Week. He wore the same shirt as he cared for his 9-year-old daughter North Westthe basketball game.
Last March, Simmons said Kanye could use a “good bitch slap” because he was an “hole” to his then wife Kim Kardashian and her then-boyfriend pete davidson.
“At some point, if someone misbehaves, a good bitch smack [works]”, Simmons said.
Embarrassed points out that he thinks Kanye is “a talented guy”, but added that the rapper is also “crazy”.
“It’s serious. She’s your wife, the mother of your children,” Simmons continued. “It’s not childish. There’s something clinically wrong with him, as he admitted. It’s a psychological issue.”
