Charlie Kirk shot

[OK2]

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu noted that Kirk was murdered for speaking the truth and defending freedom. He posted on X that as a "lion-hearted friend of Israel," Kirk "Fought the lies and stood tall for Judeo-Christian civilization."

Netanyahu added, "I spoke to him only two weeks ago and invited him to Israel. Sadly, that visit will not take place. We lost an incredible human being. His boundless pride in America and his valiant belief in free speech will leave a lasting impact. Rest in peace, Charlie Kirk."

Judeo-Christian smh - there's no such thing. it's all made up to endear us to the chosen people.


Origin and evolution of the term
Early usage (19th century): The term first appeared in the 19th century, referring to Jewish converts to Christianity, not to a shared religious heritage.

Response to fascism (1930s): The modern political concept of a "Judeo-Christian" tradition emerged in the U.S. in the 1930s. It was used by liberal Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish groups to forge a unified national identity against the rise of fascism and antisemitism in Europe.

Cold War ideology (1940s–1950s): During the Cold War, the term became more widespread. It was used by political leaders like Dwight D. Eisenhower to contrast the religiously-based values of the U.S. with the "godless" ideology of Soviet communism.

Modern conservative rhetoric (1970s–present): By the 1970s, the term was adopted by the American religious and political right. It is now often used to describe conservative political positions on issues like abortion and traditional family values that many American Jews do not support.

Agree


Some stuff from that substack

Netanyahu first tweeted prayers for Kirk at 3:02 PM in the afternoon on September 10, minutes after news of the shooting broke. He has since authored three additional posts about Kirk, even breaking away from the Israeli war cabinet to spend the afternoon of September 11 memorializing the conservative leader on Fox News.

Bloom accused Kirk of spreading the message “that Israel is the problem.” Her long, vapid, repetitious, excruciating and obviously AI-assisted rant basically screams “get back on the Zionist reservation, Charlie!” People with similar views, who make their living killing journalists, were probably adding—privately—“or else.” Since then, Mossad’s spying on Kirk’s private as well as public communications may have alerted them to, as they say, “a situation.” If Kirk were indeed moving toward an anti-Israel position echoing Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Marjorie Taylor Green, Thomas Massie, and millions of their followers, the natural response of Mossad’s Journalist Assassination Bureau would have been: “Let’s hurry up and let our media make him a pro-Zionist martyr while such a thing is still possible.”
