The title of this column is the same as the title of a video analysis of the murder of Charlie Kirk on the Macintosh Team YouTube channel. Here is a transcription of that video along with my comments.

Everybody wants to know: Did Israel kill Charlie Kirk?

“No, no, no, don’t be ridiculous. A lone gunman did it.”

Always a lone gunman.

“A young man, unstable, angry, looking for attention. His own father turned him in; case closed.”

That’s the script. That’s the headline. That’s the truth we’re all supposed to swallow. Neat, tidy, packaged, ready to go.

But here’s the problem: Neat and tidy almost never means true. Every time the story is wrapped up this quickly, you should start sniffing for smoke.

And sure enough, the moment Kirk’s body was cold, the whispers began: “Israel. Could Israel have had a hand in this?”

“Absurd,” they said. “Insane,” they said. “Stupid.”

Netanyahu himself had to go on live television to shout it down. And if you saw that interview, you know exactly what I’m talking about. He wasn’t calm. He wasn’t confident. He was flustered, defensive, repeating himself like a man who knows the rumor cuts too close to the bone.

And here’s the kicker: On paper, it makes no sense.

Charlie Kirk was Israel’s guy. He spent years worshiping at their altar. He told students, “Palestinians don’t exist.” He smeared critics as radicals, spread their propaganda, flew on their trips, cashed their donors’ checks. He said Israel was America’s best friend over and over. He was loyal.

But loyalty in this game doesn’t mean forever. Loyalty means obedience. And the second you step out of line, you’re not a loyal ally anymore. You’re a liability.

And Charlie Kirk—America’s loudest campus Zionist—made the fatal mistake of asking questions. Epstein? Mossad? October 7th? Gaza? He started inviting Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly on stage. He started letting Dave Smith call Gaza what it really is: the slaughter of a captive people. And that was it. The alarms went off. Donors flipped. Zionist bloggers.

And now watch what happens: The media points left; the right points back. Social media collapses into chaos. Everyone’s screaming at everyone else: “Deep State. MAGA. Antifa. CIA.” No one agrees. No one unites. No one looks at the one country that always benefits from division: Israel.

Because while Americans lose their minds over Charlie Kirk, Israel is still in Gaza, still bombing, still starving children, still bulldozing homes. Business as usual.

That’s the genius of it. They don’t even have to deny it convincingly. Netanyahu just shrugs and says, “Stupid. Absurd.” And that’s enough. Because the real trick isn’t to prove innocence. It’s to stir the pot so no one cares. And boy, did it work.

So, let’s ask the old Latin question: Cui bono? Who benefits? Not the shooter. Not his father. Not America. The people who benefit are the same people who always benefit. The same people who suddenly don’t have to worry about 3,500 campus chapters shifting against them. The same people who saw Kirk’s hesitation as a threat. Because if Charlie Kirk, their golden boy, could doubt, then every conservative student in America could doubt too. That’s the nightmare scenario.

And what happened right after his death? Ben Shapiro stepped up, ready with his new tour. Donors stopped complaining. Turning Point USA suddenly had new handlers. The machine didn’t miss a beat. The blood wasn’t even dry before the replacement program was rolling.

But hey, remember: It was a lone gunman. Always a lone gunman.

Isn’t it amazing how the lone gunman always seems to clear the field for the most powerful people alive? Kennedy, King, Malcolm, now Kirk. Just random nobodies with perfect timing, doing the dirty work history demands. “Nothing suspicious here.”

I believe what I said in my Charlie Kirk Assassination Update address to Liberty Fellowship:

The official FBI narrative is impossible to believe. I am absolutely convinced that the killing could not have happened the way they said it happened.

I am absolutely convinced that the 22-year-old kid did not shoot Charlie Kirk.

I am absolutely convinced that Kirk was not shot with a .30-06 caliber rifle.

I am absolutely convinced that Charlie Kirk’s killing was a professional assassination.
