Sitting face-to-face at a round table, American professional poker player Dan Bilzerian and talk show host Patrick Bet-David engaged in a one-and-a-half-hour interview focused on Israel.
Bilzerian did not hold back in expressing his views on Israel and the ongoing genocide in Palestine. Here are the most notable statements he made:
1- No Children Were Beheaded By Hamas
From the get-go, when Bet-David said that Hamas did a lot on October 7, including beheading babies, Bilzerian shot back immediately, saying that “they showed no beheaded babies.” The only babies that were killed were two: one was shot, while another died in a hospital.
2- Hamas Did Not Rape Anyone
He had the same response when Bet-David said that “he is not saying what Hamas did.” Bet-David wants to show that there is another side to the story, that it is not only Israel. Yet again, Bilzerian says that when it comes to Hamas, they did not rape any children.
3- Palestinian Prisoners Where The Ones Who Got Raped
Now, here’s the real rebuttal: Bilzerian claimed that no children were raped, but it was actually the Palestinian prisoners who were raped. There were even riots claiming the right to commit these acts.
4- Jews Believe They Are Better Than Everyone Else
Referring to the scripture and their Torah, he also said that Jews believe they are better than everyone else.
5- How Pro-Palestine Protests Suffer Many Repercussions
Bilzerian didn’t just focus on October 7; he also wanted to make a point regarding the Pro-Palestine protests taking place across US universities and how they face severe repercussions. Yet, with other movements like Black Lives Matter, the same repercussions were not faced.
6- Jews Playing The “Victim Card” When It Comes To The Holocaust
When attacking Jews and Israel, Bilzerian did so from every angle imaginable, and that is why you can also find him saying that the Jews have always been playing the victim card when it comes to the Holocaust, as they weren’t the only society that faced such atrocities.
7- US Politicians Allegiant To Israel
He took a deep dive into US politics, especially regarding the ongoing presidential elections. On that front, he made it clear that he believes that most US politicians are allegiant to Israel rather than the US itself.
8-US Presidential Candidates Are Pro-Israel
When he spoke about the US Presidential candidates, he told Bet-David that he believes both candidates are “Pro-Israel,” all because they want money and funding.
9-The Media, Bilzerian Explained, “Is Mostly Jewish”
It is not just politicians that he sees as the problem but also the media, which he believes to be “mostly Jewish.” Based on that, they can skew views and ideals to their liking.
10- He 100% Believes the World Is Safer Without Israel
Israel as a whole is seen as a source of danger to the world in the eyes of Bilzerian, who believes that the world would be safer without Israel.
Bilzerian truly did not hold anything back when he spoke about Israel. He kept everything unfiltered and comprehensive, tackling everything from his view on how Israel affects everything from US politics to the media. What do you think of his interview?
