Gene Simmons Gives Israel Boycotters a Tongue Lashing

Gene Simmons, currently in Israel filming episodes of his A&E reality show Gene Simmons' Family Jewels, has taken some of his fellow musicians to task for refusing to perform in Israel. The Kiss bassist has called musicians like Elvis Costello "fools" for boycotting the Jewish State. In an interview with the Associated Press, Simmons said, "The countries they should be boycotting are the same countries that the populations are rebelling."

You could say that Simmons has given them a well-deserved tongue lashing.
