Charlie Kirk got shot during a public event on September 10, 2025. Some argue that his criticism towards the state of Israel, the October 7, 2023 stand-down and his resistance against a war against Iran got him killed. In March 2026, the former Minister of the Department of Counter Terrorism, Joe Kent, said that he was surprised to find out that the FBI didn’t follow any leads related to the 10 Israeli telephones that were used at the time of the shooting in that area (1).

Below you can hear Charlie Kirk himself expressing himself on these Israel related issues. This didn’t make him very popular obviously within the Israel-loving community (whose size is rapidly decreasing, since more and more people start feeling ashamed of backing a country like Israel).

CHARLIE KIRK (transcript from the video-excerpt above):
“I am going to continue to ask the question, a 20-hour response in a country the size of New Jersey. That begs a big explanation, and more importantly, America is significantly underwriting the Israeli government $4 billion a year. We as American taxpayers deserve answers to this.We deserve answers. 

Also, if we’re going to get into a regional or world war based on an intel failure, so, I mean, we paid for this, what are we buying, right? I got smeared as a Jew hater, an anti-Semite, and conspiracy theorist because I said exactly what I just said. 

And I refuse to back down despite all the smears thrown at me because I learned during COVID. I learned when they told us that it came from a bat in the Himalayas. I learned when they told us the vaccine was safe and effective. I learned when they told us that Ivermectin was horse-paste, that you better keep asking questions because it’s the only thing that keeps us free. Thank you so much. I appreciate it.” (2)
