Right sure it was staged and faked instead of what it looks like. He was drifting away from supporting Israel. He has been under immense pressure from his donors over this issue. Just weeks before he was killed Netanyahu personally called him offering him $100 million to TPUSA if he realigned himself more closely with Israel. He then invited Charlie to Israel. Charlie turned down both offers. Charlie was perhaps the most influential conservative with young people, a demographic that has shifted dramatically away from support for Israel. Netanyahu has denied guilt on a number of occasions which seems really suspicious. I would say the motives for killing Kirk are clear. Reignite culture wars and prevent left and right coming together in opposition to support for Israeli wars of aggression and genocide.
