Belgian rapper with anti-Semitic lyrics shut down during public radio appearance

Excerpt:

A Belgian public radio station ejected a rapper from its studio who on the air inveighed against Israel and “Zionists” while introducing a song with lyrics about “money-loving Jews running after each cent.”

The incident occurred last month at the Antwerp studio of a department of the VRT broadcaster during an interview with Bissy Owa, an up-and-coming performer who is Muslim, about his recently released song titled “Money till the Death,” the Joods Actueel news website reported Wednesday.

The VRT studio muted Owa’s microphone after he said during a live interview: “F*** the Zionists, revolution, Israel must go, free Palestine.”

The song, which begins with the expletive about Zionists, shows Owa dancing while wearing a black hat and fake sidelocks and singing about Jewish greed. He also says “I can’t hang with a Jew.”
