Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...On Thursday, Benjamin Netanyahu posted an unusual video to X: a preemptive denial that Israel was involved in the murder of Charlie Kirk. “DID ISRAEL KILL CHARLIE KIRK?” Fuentes titled an episode of his show on Monday. Those on the far right who have turned to attacking Israel following Kirk’s death are particularly infuriated by Netanyahu’s insistence, starting even before Kirk’s death had been confirmed, that Kirk’s support for Israel was unwavering. “I don’t know who specifically said that Bibi killed Charlie Kirk, but now that he’s… denying that he is, people are going, ‘What’s actually going on here? And I don’t know if people have checked, but they no longer support Israel.
