Armenian-American businessman and social media influencer Dan Bilzerian called out Israel for denying the Armenian Genocide and for committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, Zartonk Media reports.

Bilzerian criticized Israel for its denial of the 1915 Armenian Genocide while consistently referencing the Holocaust. He expressed frustration over what he perceives as hypocrisy, drawing attention to the impact of these actions on both the Armenian and Palestinian communities.

Bilzerian said: “They constantly refer to the Holocaust, when they’re the biggest Holocaust deniers on the planet, they deny the Armenian Holocaust, where half of my people got wiped out, half of your people got wiped out, they deny that, so I don’t think it’s right for them to whine about the Holocaust.”

He called out Israel for force-feeding the Holocaust narrative, when “They can’t recognize the Armenian Holocaust, we lost half our population, they didn’t lose half their population, but yet we have to hear about it.”

Bilzerian made these remarks while appearing as a guest on Armenian-Assyrian-American Patrick Bet-David’s PBD Podcast. Daniel Bilzerian is an Armenian-American professional poker player and businessman.
