\nTHE NEW REPUBLIC<\/p>\n
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has offered his own unhinged theory as to who shot Charlie Kirk, asserting without any evidence that the Turning Point USA founder was killed by a team of \u201cradical Islamists and ultra-progressives.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a worldwide problem. The people on the extremes, the Islamists \u2026 the radical Islamists and their union with the ultra-progressives, they often speak about human rights. They speak about free speech. But they use violence to try to take down their enemies,\u201d Netanyahu said on Fox News\u00a0<\/b>on Friday. \u201cWhether it\u2019s President Trump, who\u2019s been almost assassinated twice, or they try to kill me here too. But they got Charlie Kirk, and it\u2019s just heartbreaking.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Netanyahu now claims, offering zero evidence, that Charlie Kirk was assassinated by a combination of \u201cradical Islamists and ultra-progressives.\u201d\u00a0pic.twitter.com\/SCdCae27Mn<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Ryan Grim (@ryangrim)\u00a0September 12, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n So, just to be clear: The Israeli Prime Minister decided to appear on American media to assure its audience Israel had\u00a0absolutely nothing to do<\/a>\u00a0with Charlie Kirk\u2019s death but that some anonymous cabal of Muslims and leftists does.<\/p>\n This makes no sense, as no one knows the motive behind Kirk\u2019s killing at this moment, especially not Netanyahu. The prime minister is dipping into the same obtuse, harmful rhetoric of the American right, declaring war on an anonymous \u201cthey<\/a>,\u201d latching on to a fictional scenario to project their own biases onto the situation.<\/p>\n Netanyahu decrying political violence is rich, as just this month he has\u00a0starved<\/a>\u00a0Palestinians,\u00a0bombed<\/a>\u00a0residential buildings in Gaza City, set siege to the West Bank, and\u00a0attacked<\/a>\u00a0Hamas leadership in Doha, Qatar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
