(Note. In my Part II post on May 4, 2026, I mentioned Graham Platner, an antisemite running for Senate in Maine. He is a Democrat who is expected to be facing Republican Susan Collins in the general election. I pointed out that Platner not only had the support of the Leftists like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, but also Senate Jewish Minority Leader Chuck Schumer...and even the official Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. I guess the only thing that matters to the Democrats is getting back control of the Senate, regardless of how morally despicable a candidate might be.)
What do we know about Dan Bilzerian? Even more despicable than Platner. According to Wikipedia, he supports Hamas, apparently not being bothered by the rape and torture and murder of women and children. He called now deceased Yahya Sinwar, former head of Hamas, a "hero." He claimed that Jews caused the famine in Ukraine, killed JFK, created "transgender," were behind 9/11, were behind the Iraq war, and are the cause of most of today's problems.
I feel like we could ask this guy about every bad event throughout history, and he would say the Jews were responsible. He says Jews promote "Jewish supremacy" (not sure what that is), and rape and steal. Then we have the usual nonsense, such as Jews inventing genocide, denying the Holocaust (or claiming 6 million were not killed), and that Jews don't have the DNA of the ancient Hebrews, as they are all Ashkenazi.
Oddly enough, he says that he is 12% Jewish. He has had various run-ins with the law, including kicking a woman in the face when she was on the ground. In 2018, he flew to Armenia to get dual citizenship, to fight with the Armed Forces of Armenia.
According to AI, he said that if he ever became President, his first act would be to declare war on Israel. Of course, he would cut off all aid to Israel. He accused Israel of being a terrorist state. And he would like to kill Israelis, and would put boots on the ground to fight Israel if he was President.
And, according to a post on Facebook, Bilzerian is alleged to have gone to Qatar to solicit people to kill Israeli ministers. But that post could not be verified. Another antisemite, Nick Fuentes, claims Bilzerian did ask about killing Israeli government ministers and conservative Jewish commentator Ben Shapiro. Bilzerian appears to have denied these allegations. Unfortunately, we don't tend to have the most upstanding people as witnesses to what people like Bilzerian might say.
One cannot help but wonder how someone could have such a distorted and warped and hateful worldview. I wonder if he has any idea how much Israelis have contributed to the world, scientifically and medically. And how much Israel has helped the United States with intelligence, and militarily (not just with Iron Dome and missile defense, but with improving American military hardware that gets battle tested all too often unfortunately.) Israel's Ministry of Diapora Affairs posted a global "Top 10 Prominent Antisemitic Influencers." Bilzerian has a huge following, and was ranked No. 1. Hardly a surprise.
The good news - the Republican Party does NOT support him.
