Why Charlie Kirk had to go

I never paid much attention to Charlie Kirk. "Far right influencers" just aren't my bag. What little I knew revolved around his cheerleading for the state of Israel. When I read that Trump had identified a leftist conspiracy amongst Marxists and America-haters I thought, hold the phone; this is too cute by half. Everybody knows the so-called American Left couldn't organize a two car train, let alone a political assassination. This wasn't some random MAGA hater who brought his deer rifle to a campus Kirk event and squeezed off a single kill shot from 200 yards. That has the hallmarks of a professional sniper. There is a vast pool of sniper talent in the IDF. These guys have been honing their skills daily for almost two solid years, practicing on starving civilians in Gaza. A 200 yd kill shot is nothing for them. Back to the aforementioned cheerleading for Israel. There's certainly plenty of evidence for that, but what's he done for Israel lately? Turns out that lately he's been showing dangerous signs of developing both a conscience and a more nuanced understanding of the Gaza genocide. Somebody somewhere decided it would be best to nip this tendency in the neck, so to speak. It's far too potent a threat to Israel's hold on American public opinion to have the most popular young conservative leader, by far, undermining the Zionist narrative. That's why Charlie Kirk had to go.
