"Netanyahu called Kirk an extraordinary friend of Israel, continuing his sentiment from a Wednesday tweet in which he referred to the commentator as a lion-hearted friend of Israel who fought the lies and stood tall for Judeo-Christian civilization. Charlie Kirk was murdered for speaking truth and defending freedom. A lion-hearted friend of Israel, he fought the lies and stood tall for Judeo-Christian civilization. I spoke to him only two weeks ago and invited him to Israel. Sadly, that visit will not take place."
"This is a worldwide problem, Netanyahu told Fox host Harris Faulkner. The people on the extremes, the Islamists, 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, whether it's President Trump who's been almost assassinated twice or, you know, they try to kill me here, too. But they got Charlie Kirk, and it's just heartbreaking."
Charlie Kirk was shot and killed at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University. Benjamin Netanyahu praised Kirk as a lion-hearted friend of Israel and said he had invited him to Israel. Netanyahu told Fox News the problem is worldwide and blamed a union of radical Islamists and ultra progressives for using violence against opponents. He mentioned attempts on President Trump and threats to himself. The alleged shooter was identified as Tyler Robinson, a Utah local who is not a Muslim. Netanyahu's attribution drew ridicule given the shooter's reported identity and rapid media blame dynamics.
