Conspiracy Theories Blame Israel for Charlie Kirk’s Assassination
Honest Reporting ^

Posted on 09/11/2025 4:22:58 PM PDT by Impala64ssa

Yesterday (September 10), a loud activist voice in American conservative politics was silenced after he was assassinated at an event at Utah Valley University. Charlie Kirk, 31, while a polarizing figure in the U.S. culture wars, was an outspoken supporter of Israel, the Jewish people, and freedom of speech.

As of September 11, the murderer is still unknown, with American authorities pursuing a manhunt. Despite no public information being available as to the background, whereabouts, or motives of the killer, in the immediate aftermath of the assassination, large numbers of so-called activists posted online claiming that the assailant was not a lone individual, but rather a body determined to silence Kirk.

Their scapegoat? Israel and the Mossad.

By stringing together entirely unrelated “evidence,” a false narrative about Israel as the perpetrator began to take for

In portraying Kirk as a rising critic of the Jewish state, voices online attempted to rewrite his public record, fabricating a motive for Israel to silence him. These conspiracists pointed to his followers’ anti-Israel views and twisted them as “evidence” of Kirk’s own “shift” where he began a “JQ question” journey. Shorthand for “Jewish Question,” these individuals peddle the theory that the Jewish people are secretly controlling politics, the economy, and the media. Anyone who questions or challenges this alleged control is said to be punished by the Jews who supposedly wield it.

Of course, this conspiracy is not based on any factual evidence but on recycled antisemitic myths. It became yet another way of turning a tragedy into a vehicle for scapegoating Jews.

The internet claimed Israel as the perpetrator, assassinating Kirk solely to advance its own agenda, even if at the expense of the Israel-U.S. relationship. The accusation is entirely unfounded, but it still garnered support from accounts with over one million followers

As a result of Kirk’s support for Israel, Israeli politicians, including Prime Minister Netanyahu, rushed to offer him support upon hearing the news that he was in critical condition, praying that he would recover.

Yet voices online quickly concluded that Netanyahu’s well-wishes could only mean one thing: Israel was behind the assassination.

Naturally, terrorist supporter and conspiracy theorist Jackson Hinkle jumped on the conspiracy theory bandwagon.

This is not the first time conspiracy theories blaming Israel for the death of innocent people have been created.

The tragic events of September 11, 2001, were also made into a conspiracy theory, claiming it was the doing of a Mossad operation, alleging that it carried out the terrorist attack to advance the agenda of the Jewish state.

Because the assassination happened the day before 9/11, the same conspiracy theorists who push the Mossad narrative found an easy opportunity to link the two events. They claimed that Kirk’s death was part of a broader, coordinated plan by Israel to manipulate global events and public perceptions of the country during a time of war.

The pattern of speculation being transformed into “evidence” is not new. However, the speed with which these false narratives can spread certainly is. By diverting attention away from actual facts, conspiracy theorists can succeed in luring their audiences into believing dangerous tropes that fuel antisemitism. The exploitation of Charlie Kirk’s horrific assassination demonstrates how quickly a tragedy can be weaponized to fuel age-old antisemitic tropes by blaming the Jewish people for a tragedy in which they had no part.

I saw a few such idiotic posts here, maybe 2 or 3.
Figure they are just paleo-stonians trying to stir up crap.

So far I have seen Israel, Muslims, Ukes, Russians, trannies, Deep State, IC, Trump, Charlie, you name it blamed.

Often happens if the perp isn’t caught quickly.

I will wait and see.

Bibi Netanyahu:

“Charlie Kirk was murdered for speaking truth and defending freedom. A lion-hearted friend of Israel, he fought the lies and stood tall for Judeo-Christian civilization. I spoke to him only two weeks ago and invited him to Israel. Sadly, that visit will not take place. We lost an incredible human being. His boundless pride in America and his valiant belief in free speech will leave a lasting impact. Rest in peace, Charlie Kirk”

no one would blame you.

no more than you should blame me for stuff the CIA does overseas.

I should be able to criticize the Israel Govt the same as I can criticize mine, or the north korean one.

If I made a post decrying something the govt of North Korea did that certainly does not mean that I am anti-Korean, or that I believe the average Korean is somehow culpable.

Maybe the Mossad did do it, I have no idea, maybe it was someone else. We will never know is all I know.

Mass confusion on suspect of Kirk’s killing. Is one in custody , or not?

This is the most un-mossad-like assassination I can think of. The Mossad is a lot better at covering their tracks than this assassin was.

sure I can stick with it, my opinion means nothing but I was responding to the op who had linked to all major world news that seemed to be featuring Gaza and Quatar, suddenly that is no longer front page news.

the world leaders all making statements almost immediately after, and all for a guy I had never heard of.

But it could be the “Z” guy or the Cia just subcontracting someone.

Anyway I am sticking with the fact that I cannot eliminate anyone or any agency at this time cause I certainly don’t know, and will be long dead before anything is unclassified if it ever is.

Just because someone benefits does not mean they had any knowledge of it.

I think most mystery fans understand this.
