High-Stakes Gambler Dan Bilzerian Criticizes Israel, Pro-Israel Advocacy in Post Gaining Over 2.2 Million Views
Scandalous poker aficionadoDan Bilzerian vented about Israel and the AIPAC advocacy group on social media this weekend, pulling in over 2.2M views.
Using questionable theories, he asserted on the now-defunct Twitter that AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, “manipulates our government to prioritize Israel’s needs over ours.”
“Epstein's island was a covert Israeli Mossad operation meant to blackmail American politicians,” Bilzerian further claimed.
Epstein, a pedophile with Jewish origins, had owned Little Saint James - an island in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Moreover, Bilzerian claimed, “COVID-19 was a hoax, and we were poisoned, while Israeli pharmaceutical giants pocketed billions, and our Israeli-controlled government and media forced it. The U.S. is an occupied nation.”
A multitude of anti-Semitic and anti-Israel comments by numerous individuals appeared under Bilzerian’s posts.
Israeli Press Coverage
The focus of an article in Israel’s most prominent news outlet, the Jerusalem Post, was his comments.
On June 10, Bilzerian made similar statements on social media against AIPAC.
“Until AIPAC registers as a foreign agent, we’ll remain Israel’s puppet,” he posted online.
According to the Jerusalem Post, on May 28, he commented, “In case y’all were puzzled about my stance, let me clarify, F*** Israel.”
The news outlet reached out to AIPAC and the Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish rights organization, for comment. No immediate statements were available on Sunday.
