The Death of Charlie Kirk, Conspiracies, and the Truth About Israel

The assassination of Charlie Kirk has left a deep wound in American public life. His voice, for many, was a light in the midst of political noise. His death, for many more, feels like darkness.

But in the wake of his murder, a new storm has risen — not just of grief, but of speculation. Across social media, the narrative has spread that Israel, the Mossad, and even the U.S. federal government were behind his death. For some, these theories feel like clarity. In reality, they are a maze, one that entangles more people the deeper they go.

The Danger of Conspiracies

History shows that in times of tragedy, conspiracy theories multiply. Why? Because humans crave explanation. When the truth is slow to emerge, people fill the gaps with imagination — often fueled by opportunists or foreign actors who exploit division.

But this “rabbit hole” rarely leads to truth. Instead, it traps those who enter. In the case of Charlie Kirk, the conspiracies have been louder than the facts. And when emotion mixes with speculation, the result is confusion, not clarity.

Candace Owens and Opportunism

Into this storm stepped Candace Owens. Once a rising star at The Daily Wire, Owens has, since her separation, shifted her voice sharply against Jewish values, religion, and the state of Israel.

I say this as someone who once supported her work. I bought her book. I admired her courage. But the change is undeniable. Was she influenced by others? Was it jealousy? Was it opportunism disguised as “seeking truth”?

What we know is this: her current position is not one that Charlie Kirk ever held. Owens claims closeness to him, but their relationship had cooled long before his death — she had stopped following him publicly more than a year ago. To many, her reaction feels less like loyalty and more like opportunism.

Charlie Kirk’s Pro-Israel Convictions

In all of this, one truth must be remembered: Charlie Kirk was consistent and unapologetic in his support of Israel.

• He openly said on Instagram: “Israel changed my life. Strengthened my faith, made the Bible pop into reality, and gave me the most precious memories with Erika.” (Instagram)

• In August 2025, just before his death, Kirk declared: “I have a bulletproof résumé showing my defense of Israel … I believe in the scriptural land rights given to Israel. I believe in the fulfillment of prophecy. I want them to win, and I’ve said that repeatedly.” (Fox News)

• He condemned Hamas as a terrorist group and criticized Palestinian leadership for enabling it (Newsweek).

• He dismantled the claim that “anti-Zionism isn’t antisemitism,” insisting that hatred of Israel and hatred of Jews are often one and the same (Facebook video).

• Prime Minister Netanyahu himself said Kirk “loved Israel and the Jewish people,” rejecting conspiracies that tried to blame Israel for his death (New York Post).

Charlie Kirk’s legacy is not one of conspiracy or wavering conviction — it is one of standing boldly with Israel.

Israel and Prophecy: Two Perspectives

Kirk’s support for Israel was deeply rooted in his belief in Bible prophecy. He saw the return of the Jewish people to their land as fulfillment of God’s promises (Times of Israel Blog).

My own perspective is different. I don’t rely on dispensationalist teaching that separates the “church” from “Israel,” imagining future timelines of Antichrist and tribulation. I support Israel because of what the Torah and prophets declare. Israel’s right to exist is written into the covenant itself: the people were exiled for nearly two thousand years, and yet the land remains their ancestral homeland.

And when I read prophecy, I see that many of its promises have already been fulfilled. What we see today is the reality of Jews and Gentiles becoming one under the covenant of Adonai. The New Covenant does not create a separate “church” apart from Israel — it joins all who believe into one body under Messiah.

Israel in Scripture: Covenant Identity

From the beginning, Israel was more than bloodline. When the people left Egypt, “a mixed multitude also went up with them” (Exodus 12:38). At Mount Sinai, God made covenant not only with the tribes, but also with those from other nations who joined them. Moses declared: “It is not with you alone … but with whoever is standing here with us today … and with whoever is not here with us today” (Deuteronomy 29:14–15).

This is not replacement theology. It is covenant theology. All who join themselves to the God of Israel become part of His people.

The apostolic writings affirm the same: “There is neither Jew nor Greek … for you are all one in Messiah Yeshua”(Galatians 3:28). Paul spoke of the olive tree: “If some branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in … do not be arrogant … it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you” (Romans 11:17–18).

That olive tree is Israel. Gentiles are grafted in — not replacing, but joining. All the promises and covenants remain rooted in Israel.

Even Judaism itself confirms this principle. To become Jewish, one must either be born of a Jewish mother or convert — and conversion is not a light matter. It requires years of study, commitment to Shabbat, dietary laws, and halakhah. Citizenship in Israel’s covenant people has always been about identity, practice, and covenant loyalty, not merely ancestry.

This is why today we see Jews from every corner of the globe, unified not just by lineage but by covenant.

The Restoration of the Tent of David

Prophecy also speaks of the tent of David being restored:

“In that day I will raise up the fallen booth of David … and rebuild it as in the days of old.” (Amos 9:11)

James echoed this in the New Testament:

“After these things I will return, and I will rebuild the fallen tent of David … so that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles who are called by My name.” (Acts 15:16–17)

This restoration began in the first century when Messiah Yeshua came, choosing twelve disciples to represent the twelve tribes. Through Him, the covenant people were re-gathered, and as a result, the nations have come to know God. Even today, hundreds of millions worship the Creator because the tent of David has been restored.

The Remnant in the Land

There is also a living testimony: a remnant of Jews who believe in Yeshua and honor the Creator in the very land where He walked. By some counts, that remnant numbers over 30,000 (One for Israel). They are living proof that covenant promises endure — biblical, historical, and present.

A Call to Clarity

Charlie Kirk was not a man of conspiracy. He was clear, sometimes blunt, and always grounded in his convictions — including his love for Israel. To twist his death into opportunism or conspiracy is to misrepresent him.

If we want to honor his life, let us resist the temptation of rumor. Let us hold to truth, to covenant promises, and to clarity. Because the best way to remember him is not by getting lost in speculation, but by standing firm in the convictions he himself lived and died with.
