Antisemitic conspiracy theorists are having a field day after Charlie Kirk was gunned down on a Utah campus. Their target? Israel.

Let’s unpack the wildest “Israel did it” lies fueling this grotesque political assassination discourse. 🧵

First up: @RealCandaceO. Never one to miss a clout-chasing moment, she hinted Netanyahu may have had Kirk killed—because of a letter Charlie once wrote him. For the record: Kirk was a staunch Zionist who visited Israel often. Owens is just peddling garbage.

Then there’s fake “historian” Ian Carroll – Tucker Carlson’s favorite crackpot – claiming Israel killed Kirk because the “internet figured it out.” Right. Because nothing screams forensic credibility like anonymous Reddit sleuths.

Hamas cheerleader @jacksonhinklle can’t stop screaming “ISRAEL DID THIS” in all caps—posting blurry clips of a supposed 2nd shooter and ranting about an FBI cover-up. It’s so desperate we’d almost feel sorry for him… if he wasn’t peddling lies to millions.

Anonymous conspiracy accounts with millions of followers claim: Israel did it because @benshapiro (a Jew!) supposedly wants to take over Turning Point USA. That’s literally the level of “logic” we’re dealing with here.

And of course, the date: Kirk’s murder fell near 9/11’s anniversary. For some, that alone proves Israel’s guilt. Because why stop at one antisemitic trope when you can stack them all?

Charlie Kirk was murdered on an American campus. Twisting his death into an antisemitic smear campaign against Israel is grotesque.

Honor the truth. Don’t let conspiracy grifters rewrite it.
