What Charlie Kirk Said About Israel
Newsweek ^ | Sep 2025 | Jordan King

Posted on 06/26/2026 2:31:34 PM PDT by CondoleezzaProtege

I believe in the scriptural land rights given to Israel, I believe in fulfilment of prophecy, and, again, I'm not a theologian but I'm a Christian, my life was changed in Israel, the spiritual energy is so amazing there. I want them to win, I've said that repeatedly.

However, you're hitting on something very potent and important. Now let me first say – I don't want to judge an entire group, because there's been many people in the pro-Israel group that have been very sweet, very kind, very nuanced...however, and I will say this, the behavior by a lot – both privately and publicly – are pushing people like you and me away.

Not like we're going to be pro-Hamas, but we're like 'honestly, the way you are treating me is so repulsive,' I have text messages Megyn calling me an antisemite...

After Oct. 7 Hamas Attacks:

"It's a very heavy day. A lot of numbness to be perfectly honest. The horror and the barbarism here is hard to even comprehend. Israel is now at total war," he said.

Questioning Israel's security after Oct. 7 attacks

"I'm not willing to go so far to say Netanyahu knew, or there was intelligence here, but I think some questions need to be asked."

" Israel is the size of New Jersey, when I took a helicopter ride from Jerusalem to the Gaza border, it was 45 minutes. For six hours, they're live-streaming the killing of Jews. Did somebody in the government say stand down? That is a legitimate non-conspiracy question."

Demanding answers over the Gaza church strike

"After last week's hospital fiasco, I wanted to wait for more facts to be established. But it now seems confirmed that Israel did actually bomb a building adjacent to the church, killing Christians who were sheltering there, including family of Justin Amash."

Support for Israel as conservative consensus

"The vast majority of Republicans are resolutely pro-Israel. The only objections you might hear on the right is about the amount of money being spent, or whether there should be strings attached," Kirk said.

Pushing back on "starvation" claims

"It's such a lie and it is creating so much hysteria here in the United States. And just so we are clear again, this is the only way that Hamas can quote unquote survive the war is through a narrative war where they win sentimentality in the West."

Accusations of antisemitism

I have text messages Megyn calling me an antisemite." He went on to repeat his love for Israel multiple times, but added that he feels he has "less ability to criticize the Israeli government without backlash than actual Israelis do."

I'd like to see a recent poll on that

After this Iran War and the resulting Israel tax at the pump, Massee, and all these anti-1st Amendment anti-BDS laws, outside of the Boomers I doubt that this is remotely true.

Good to see the subject of Israel is still a reliable fly-trap for sh*theads and morons.

Over the last 10 years (2016–2026), the United States has given Israel approximately $55 billion to $60 billion in total foreign assistance. I wonder what I got in return.

They get a lot of intelligence that they don’t have to gather on the ME.

Also, Israel is a canary. If she goes down, Europe is next.
It’s bad enouogh that Franch and UK do not have the will to survive and will likely be Islamic states before too long.

If America ever loses a big war, is broken, and can’t pay Israel her due billions—that state will fall like the Christian Kingdoms did after the Crusades. Face it-—Israel is nothing but a colony for the USA in the Middle East.

Israel is one of the few countries we give money to the pays of. How many time do they do the dirty work, we don't have to. They are also the target ahead of us. Once they are gone, the U.S. is in the crosshairs.

Why do we have to go after Israel, just because the progressive's tell us to? When have they ever been right about anything.

If you are that unhappy with Israel, just keep voting Democrat, and they will take care of it for you. But don't come complaining to us.

1. Israel has a deep state also. 2. Israel has an evil left just like us. They were doing massive demonstrations that made Israel look divided.

What anti-1st amendment laws? The progressives who hate Israel don’t like the first amendment. Where in the Constitution does it say the U.S. is mandated to have BDS?

Honest, truthful conservative Charlie Kirk was viciously assassinated.
Makes you wonder “is anybody safe for daring to criticize Israel?”

I recognize your handle you antisemite. No one is advocating assassination of critics. Just calling you out for the scumbags you are. Jesus was a Jew you absolute moron, go away and do some thinking and reflection. Israel is the only freedom-loving democracy in the middle-east and our best ally.They even allow palis in their gov’t. Tell me a muslim country (there is 57 of them) that can say the same. I will call you out every single time.

Coming out of WWII, the US had 3 main foreign policy objectives: 1) Dismantle what was left of the British and French colonial Empires. 2) Contain the Soviets. and 3) Prevent a reformation of a Muslim Caliphate. Our support to Israel helps prevent #3. It's a bargain considering they handle much of the manpower on their end.

Issue is most people hear “Israel” and believe It’s God’s people Israel from the Bible.

Modern Israel is not, yet we keep pretending it is. The west bank, which is a good chunk of the original promise land, is in Jordan’s hand. Obviously the Israelites East bank is as well.

God’s people Israel have claim to that land.

Some of the people residing in Political Israel are his people Irsael.

His people are also in every country in the world.

Most of the people who reside in Israel presently are not classified as such.

Jews lost the exclusivity to that when Jesus Died. Modern religious Jews are not counted in God’s people. Neither are Muslims no matter how much they want to claim they are.

. GOD still has a Covenant with Natural Israel. I’m Jeremiah. He said he would ingather the Jewish People from all Nations. The State of Israel is that in gathering. This Covenant MRANS nothing for Salvation. ONLY Jews who belive in YESHUA are part of the Israel of GOD.

Amos 9:14-15

and I will bring my people Israel back from exile.“They will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit.
I will plant Israel in their own land, never again to be uprooted from the land I have given them,” says the LORD your God.

Israel IS Israel .

Plus, much of the money we give Israel is spent buying American weapons. Part of the agreement in the missile and rocket interceptor contracts is that our weapons geeks get to see telemetry on what succeeds and fails for Israel so we can make them smarter. That helps both Israel and the US.

If you owned the stocks of U.S. defense contractors, you got quite a lot. Approximately 96% of that money came back to this country to buy defense systems and parts.
