He was not Jewish, but he knew Israel was part of that goodness that evil is trying to extinguish. Those who used rhetoric that glorifies violence against Jews and Israelis are hypocritically condemning Kirk’s assassination instead of looking inward. Following Kirk’s death, I was shocked by the amount of crazy people suggesting Israel had a role in his assassination. Candace Owens even implicated Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who put out a wonderful video mourning Kirk’s death and expressing Israel’s gratitude to him. The goodness that is Kirk’s legacy must also be bestowed upon Israel, the country he defended until his dying day.
