In a video statement, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu called the growing MAGA conspiracy a ‘monstrous big lie.’

This sounds exactly what someone who did kill Charlie Kirk would say. /s

Real talk y'all, I didn't even really think to entertain that conspiracy until this.

Somewhere in Iran a propaganda operative is sitting proud

Ok, didnt ask.

Nothing strange here.

It's just like the formal declaration we all made as individuals, to deflect suspicion from ourselves.

Totally normal.

He begins his declaration by quoting Joseph Goebbels

That was very necessary I guess

Not sure why Israel would do that...not smart enough to come with a creative reason...but, damn, I'm a little suspicious now

It's clear that Zionist supremacism was a central issue in the murder. Netanyahu's absurdity statement proves it.

There are 2 wings of Christofascism. The dominant Zionist first, Judeo-Christofascism, and the obvious alternative of Groyper/Fuentes concern that Israel first rule over America feels wrong. Qatari funding to be against Zionist supremacist rule over America is simply not needed to understand that Israel first means Americans last.

Robinson, if he did it, seemed to be of Groyper wing of Christofascim. Kirk distancing himself from Ackman's Zionist absolutism, would make sense for Kirk's credibility even if devoted, as Netanyahu confirms, to Zionist supremacism rule over America. Kirk simply cannot be as demonic as Ackman on genocide and absolutist rule, and have his audience take him seriously.

It's not as though the US is going to investigate Ackman, Trump and anti-Mamdani mega donor, for any role in this, anymore than they let the dancing Israelis "there to document the event" flee the US after 9/11.

Everyone's taking the 'what an odd thing to feel obligated to announce at all' view/reaction
Does anyone else have an internal critic that starts also screaming "wait, they also know everyone can't react any other way--are they banking on us being unable to let go of the numerous suspicions that will continue to live rent-free in our minds for days?"

I know I'm being paranoid, but please someone help bring me back down to a level-headed take on this matter I beg you!

Charlie Kirk was supposed to be of the maga faction that supported Israel. Why would Bibi want to whack him?

[–] fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 9 points 6 days ago

He was going anti Israel for a little while

Well there goes the Republicans plan to label Tyler as part of Hamas.

Israel admits they helped radicalize the right wing shooter.

[–] klu9@piefed.social 5 points 6 days ago

In other news, Hamas formally states it was not using Charlie Kirk as a human shield, Israeli strike totally unjustified.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

So they did, huh?

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago

Is this the sound of a bunch of chickens, coming home to roost?
