In the months leading up to his death, Charlie Kirk rejected a funding offer from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and grew increasingly concerned about pressure from pro-“Israel” figures, according to a longtime friend who spoke to The Grayzone.

While no evidence links “Israel” to the assassination, speculation continues to spread rapidly.

      Exactly, and I’m assuming you disliked Charlie Kirk .

      So if his token gestures were enough to make you question his devotion to Israel, how do you think they were interpreted and received by his Gen Z audience, those already predisposed to liking him?
