The murder of Charlie Kirk may affect the situation in Israel.

The Murder of Charlie Kirk in Utah

A tragedy occurred in Utah: Charlie Kirk, a well-known American politician and activist, was killed. The shooter, who has not yet been apprehended, shot him in the head, and Kirk died from his injuries two hours later. Donald Trump expressed condolences over the murder, ordering flags to be lowered at government buildings.

Support for Israel

Kirk was an active supporter of Israel, defending the country in various forums, especially after the events of October 7. After the conflict with Iran began, he became more critical of Israel and joined a group dissatisfied with the constant support of the country by the US administration.

Conspiracy Theories

Kirk actively spread conspiracy theories, starting with the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, he claimed that the World Health Organization was hiding data about the virus. His social media accounts were blocked when he raised questions about drugs allegedly aiding in the treatment of COVID-19. In 2020, Kirk stated that the US elections were rigged, which became one of the reasons for Trump’s defeat. He also spread false information about the start of the war between Ukraine and Russia.

Values and Beliefs

As a devout Christian, Kirk often visited holy sites and conducted informational tours across the US, advocating for Israel’s right to self-defense.

Reaction to the Murder

After the announcement of Kirk’s death, a discussion began on social media. Emir Sperling, a popular commentator, noted that among Netanyahu’s supporters, there are dominant attempts to blame his death on opponents from the left camp.

Politicians’ Speeches

Yair Netanyahu, the prime minister’s son, expressed the opinion that violence against right-wing politicians in Israel is only a matter of time. He placed responsibility on the justice system. While this comment drew criticism and questions about its reliability, the reaction to Kirk’s murder continued to grow.

Comments from Others

Itamar Ben Gvir, the Minister of National Security, also did not remain silent. He noted that “the left in the US managed to kill a right-wing politician,” hoping that this would not happen again in Israel. Aral Segal heightened the panic, claiming that “the left wants to provoke a civil war,” to which he also received ambiguous responses.

Thus, the murder of Charlie Kirk intensified the incredible contours of political discourse, drawing attention to the criticism faced by both domestic and international politics.
