'We will remain a puppet of Israel,' Dan Bilzerian says in antisemitic post to X

American high-stakes poker player Dan Bilzerian published a social media post on Saturday expressing belief in several conspiracies and accusations against Israel, contending that it controlled the United States.

"[Jeffery] Epstein['s] island was an Israeli Mossad op[eration to blackmail US politicians," Bilzerian said on X.  "AIPAC [American Israel Public Affairs Committee] makes our government put Israel’s interests before ours. Covid[-19] was a scam, and we got poisoned while Israeli big pharma made billions, and our Israeli-controlled government and media forced it. The US is an occupied nation."

The post, which garnered two million views and hundreds of comments about Jews and Israeli control, was not the first time Bilzerian has engaged in harsh rhetoric about Israel.

According to a Jun 10 post by Bilzerian, "Until AIPAC registers as a foreign agent, we will remain a puppet of Israel."

Bilzerian, a social media influencer from Florida, had on Sunday shared a quote often falsely attributed to Voltaire and was actually said by American neo-Nazi Kevin Alfred Strom.

Epstein island was an Israeli Mossad op to blackmail US politicians. AIPAC makes our govt put Israel’s interests before ours. Covid was a scam & we got poisoned while Israeli big pharma made billions and our Israeli controlled govt & media forced it. The US is an occupied nation.

"If you want to know who rules over you, just look for who you are not allowed to criticize," Bilzerian falsely quoted.

The celebrity has been critical of Israel's ongoing war against Hamas, on May 28, clarifying that "In case y’all were confused on where I stand, let me be clear, F**k Israel."

Bilzerian's previous antisemitic posts

On Memorial Day, Bilzerian's only social media post was devoted to the idea that US soldiers have been dying fighting Israel's war and expressing the theory that the Israeli air force deliberately targeted the USS Liberty during the 1967 war - which has been regarded by both governments as a friendly fire incident.

"To all the US soldiers on the USS Liberty who were murdered by 'our ally' Israel and to all of our soldiers who died fighting Israel’s wars, happy M[emorial] Day, " said Bilzerian. "I’d like all of our congressmen to spend the day petting all the money Israel is giving you to support their terrorist activities."

Bilzerian, in November, issued support for political commentator Candace Owens and attacked Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro during their spat involving stances on the Israel-Hamas War.
