In the aftermath of the murder of Charlie Kirk, some of Israel critics tried to drive a wedge between the conservative activist and the Jewish state, to make his recent statements incorrectly civilized and wild, unfounded accusations.
Within a few hours after the murder of Kirk – and before a suspect was identified – conspiracy spread over social media. The Center On Extremism of the Anti-Defamation League found thousands of posts with the unfounded claims.
The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who coocuts him to co -do the inheritance of Kirk, eogogized him as a champion of ‘speaking truth and defending freedom. A lion-hearted friend of Israel, he fought the lies and was high in front of the Jewish-Christian civilization ‘.

Mike Huckabee, the ambassador of Washington in Israel, also went to X to condemn the wrong information. “It is painful to see people back in the US trying to get clicks and make $$ by coming up with shameful lies while they exploit the death of Charlie Kirk whose impact and character will never have the propagandists. @Israelipm Turn the record right. “
“The meeting was one that he initiated,” said Wolicki. “He went on a campus tour the next day and knew that he would face many questions about Israel. He wanted to hear what I had to say about issues he was expecting to be asked. Why would he do that if he had left Israel? The fact that the meeting happened proves that he hadn’t done that.”
Wolicki noted that Kirk was attacked by critics only a month earlier because he was “too supportive” of Israel. Although they did not discuss the origin of his views, Wolicki pointed to Kirk’s Evangelical Christian beliefs, of which he said they were in accordance with the right of the Jewish nation to thrive.
“He often said publicly that he believed that the country was Israel to the Jewish people and that he supported Israel’s war against Hamas,” Wolicki added. “He was not soft for our enemies. He supported Israel, even when he was critical.”
In a video of a debate in May in Cambridge that went viral, Kirk Fervent defended the Jewish state.
“When you explain the war against Israel, a fire storm expects in response,” he said. “On Shabbat, Hamas invaded Israel and decided recklessly to music concerts, to houses, go to Kibbutzes and take 200-plus hostages. They knew what they did …

“A tragic truth of war is that citizens die. I don’t like it, and you don’t like it,” he went on. “And they brought it in itself. The only operation and entity that is to blame is Hamas’s leadership, not the Israeli government, for fighting this defending war. … There is a good guy and there is a bad guy.”
Last month, Charlie Kirk appeared on Megyn Kelly’s podcast and described himself as a “bulletproof CV” when it comes to defending Israel in both university campuses and social media.
“I believe in the scriptural land rights that are given to Israel, I believe in the fulfillment of prophecy. I am not a theologian, but I am a Christian. My life has changed in Israel – the spiritual energy there is so surprising. I want them to win,” Kirk said.

He added that he often “sometimes has fewer skills to criticize the Israeli government without a recoil than the actual Israelis.”
“I want civilization to win. I want the West to win. I don’t want the Islamo-fascist barbarians to storm the gates of Jerusalem. I want to protect the holy locations. I believe in the holy land, I like that Jesus ran on water and rose from the dead,” he said.
Kirk emphasized his personal relationship with Israel, but warned of hostile reactions to criticism, and said that the result could eventually be the “weakening and emptying of two of your strongest lawyers if that continues.”

One of the most important rabbis of Israel, David Yosef, sent a letter to the Kirk family and expressed his “deep sorrow” about the murder of “a clear and relentless voice of truth.”

Josh Nass, a former conservative youth commentator, met Kirk in 2012, when Kirk just launched his organization, Turning Point USA.
“If you take Israel out of the picture, what Charlie devoted his life to just fall apart. He thought our value system collapsed and was very passionate about the need to wage the cultural war. His love for Israel was incredibly real and sincere. I know because he told me that himself,” Nass said.

Israel Ganz, head of the Yesha Council – the umbrella organization of local authorities in Judea and Samaria – responded to the murder of Kirk and said his community “Bow[ed] Their heads in mourning for the murder of a friend and lover of Israel. “
In the spirit of coexistence that Kirk promoted, dozens of Christians and Jews gathered on Wednesday on top of the Temple Mount of Jerusalem to honor him. They bathe for peace for Kirk’s widow and children and offered strength and solidarity in their time of sorrow.
