A letter allegedly written by Charlie Kirk to Benjamin Netanyahu on May 2, 2025 has just been released to the public.
The letter is significant due to allegations that Charlie was “souring” on Israel and planning to reduce his support — with some even suggesting Israel had a hand in Charlie’s assassination over how bad things were going.
Rumors like this have been swirling since the assassination:
According to multiple reports, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu offered Charlie Kirk’s TPUSA $150 million in cash to adopt an even more ardently pro-Israel stance.
Kirk refused the money.

I’m not saying I believe those rumors, I’m just trying to give you context as to why this letter would be suddenly relevant and interesting to people.
Fair?
Ok, now let’s dig in.
The following is Charlie Kirk’s letter to Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
Kirk expresses his love for Israel and repeatedly offers pointers for how they can win the information war so they do not lose support
It is not at all what anti-Semites claimed it was

Here is the letter in all 7 pages:
And here is the FULL TEXT if that was hard to read:
FROM THE DESK OF CHARLIE KIRK
Dear Mr. Prime Minister,
One of my greatest joys as a Christan is advocating for Israel and forming alliances with Jews in
the fight to protect Judeo-Christian civilization. Most recently, I am proud to have taken over
Ambassador Huckabee’s show on TBN where we continually support Israel and the Jewish
people. As Muhammadism spreads into Western societies, it’s critical that Jews and Christians
stay united in the effort to contain and rollback radical Islam and Sharia law. I regret to report
that anti-Israel and anti-Semitic trends are at record levels on social media. These negative
sentiments then flow downstream into college campuses and even seep into the conservative
MAGA community.
My team and I have spent months analyzing these trends and debating ideas that could help you
and your country push back against these disturbing developments. Anti-Israel sentiment can
undermine American support for Israel. The purpose of this letter is to lay out our concerns and
outline potential remedies. Everything written here is from a place of deep love for Israel and
the Jewish people. I think it’s important to be brutally honest with those you love. In my
opinion, Israel is losing the information war and needs a “communications intervention.”
I started to compose this letter to you on Easter. I should have been focused on my family, but I
was getting bombarded with messages about the Israeli army making it difficult for Christians to
access church in Jerusalem on Easter. At the time, I did not see any official statements pushing
back on this narrative. It was frustrating because pro Israel surrogates like me should not be in
charge of fact checking every piece of anti-Israel misinformation that pours into social media. It
wasn’t just Easter. On my recent campus tours, half the questions I get are about Israel and
they’re all negative.
I often spend half my time on these campus tours defending Jews and Israel which I’m proud to
do because I love Israel and I love the Jewish faith. I spent endless hours with Dennis Prager over
the years studying the Torah. Sometimes, it feels like I’m defending Israel in public more than
your own government.
My experience on college campuses matches a recent Harvard Harris poll which reported 48% of
18-24 year old Americans support Hamas over Israel. Even in young MAGA circles, Israel is
losing support. We are getting huge crowds of 4,000-5,000 students on some of my college
tours. My campus visits are becoming like a rock concert atmosphere filled with conservative
patriots. Yet, on these campus visits, I’m constantly confronted with:
“Israel is an apartheid state.”
“Why does Israel conduct ethnic cleansing?”
“Why is America subsidizing Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people?”
“Is American aid helping to subsidize Israel’s free health care?”
“Israel and the Jews are running U.S. foreign policy.”
“Israel and Jews are responsible for 9/11.”
“Defending Israel is not in our U.S. national interest.”
“Why is Israel trying to drag us into a war in the Middle East?”
Above are just a sampling of the negative Israel/Jewish comments and questions I confront on
college campuses. I’m accused of being a paid apologist for Israel when I defend her; however,
if I don’t defend Israel strongly enough, I’m accused of being anti-semitic. I know you’ve got a
7 front war and my kvetching pales in comparison. But I’m trying to convey to you that Israel is
losing support even in conservative circles. This should be a 5 alarm fire.
I’m often asked, “Why is Israel killing so many innocent civilians in Gaza?” I know Israel goes
to great lengths by dropping flyers and even calling civilians to clear out of areas about to be
bombed. I know Israel posts maps showing which areas should be evacuated. I know that
Hamas uses civilians as human shields. But 90% of the younger generations get their news from
social media and podcasts and there is very little pushback or fact checking by the Israeli
government and/or pro Israel supporters in the media (especially social media).
I strongly suggest Israel NOT always depend on “subcontracting” their information war efforts to
surrogates in America. Mr. Prime Minister, I urge you to REVAMP your information warfare
strategy from top to bottom. Sometimes, the impression is given that Israel thinks everyone
hates them so why care about winning over hearts and minds? If there’s any truth to this
impression, I urge you to consider that social media and podcasts is where you fight for the
hearts and minds of the younger generation. Obviously, all this negative Israel propaganda on
social media easily translates into pro Hamas “Free Palestine” sentiment on many college
campuses.
Here are some unsolicited recommendations my team and I suggest if you’re open-minded to a
communications reset:
- For starters, you need a rapid response media team. President Trump does this very
effectively on social media with his own account and his White House Rapid Response 47 team.
The President has strong fighters like Stephen Miller and Karoline Leavitt who battle the press
everyday. Honestly, I don’t even know if you have a press secretary. You are an eloquent
defender of Israel, but you need a team of information warriors out there pushing back everyday
in real time. When you don’t push back, anti-Semitism and anti-Israel propaganda fill the void.
A pro-Israel friend recently asked me, “Do Israelis even care how the world perceives their
country?”
- I strongly recommend putting together a team of pro-Israel experts who can fact-check
misinformation in real time from Israel. Israel needs to take the lead in this effort – no more
dependence on subcontractors. Israel never asks for American troops because Israel does its own
fighting. I suggest the same approach for the information war. You lead and people like me will
follow and provide supplemental support. If you’re open to revamping your communications
strategy, my team and I are happy to assist.
- You need something perhaps like an “Israel Truth Network” (ITN) which can include social
media channels and a one-stop source of information website where, for example, all the
negative Israel questions I get can be thoroughly debunked. I would love to refer students to
such a website. This website could also be a conduit to groups like Hillel and Jewish educators
like Dennis Prager. There can be links to books, podcasts, media personalities, and pro Israel
thought leaders. The website can be a place where Judeo-Christian leaders and groups can share
information and form closer alliances in the fight against Islamic fundamentalism. ITN social
media can post pro-Israel pro Judeo-Christian video clips, breaking news and articles. ITN could
potentially be a news aggregation site for all news pertaining to Israel and Judeo-Christian efforts
to preserve Western Civilization.
- Have you considered inviting some of the released hostages to go on a speaking tour in the
U.S.? This could be very effective messaging. These hostages can talk about how Gazan
civilians not once offered any empathy or compassion. President Trump referenced this lack of
humanity when some released hostages visited the Oval Office. This was effective messaging.
When impactful messaging clicks, keep it going. Also, these hostages and all your
spokespersons should be arguing it’s Hamas that is committing genocide on their own people by
using civilians as human shields and storing weapons in schools, hospitals etc. That information
drips out in the regular media but is almost nonexistent on social media.
- Maybe interview regular Israelis on the streets asking them what they love about their
country. Interview Jews, Israeli Arabs, Druze, orthodox, secular etc. Ask Israelis what do they
wish the world knew about Israel. Ask them to respond to examples of misinformation on social
media. This could be an entire social media PR campaign called, “Dude, you got us wrong!”
Interview Israelis from all walks of life.
Let Israelis explain in their own words how Israel is a pluralistic society, a free country with
elected leaders unlike all of the surrounding authoritarian Arab nations. Why not show how your
hospitals take care of wounded terrorists? Why not show clips of Israel dropping flyers from
airplanes warning Gazan civilians to get out of harm’s way? It would have been nice to see an
Israeli plane with a Star of David arrive in the US full of supplies after a hurricane. Has Israel
offered any assistance to the U.S. insofar as technology to protect our border or with the missile
defense shield President Trump has discussed? These are examples of effective messaging
showing Israel as a close ally of America. Consumers of social media are aware of the billions
in supplies we send to Israel, but they’re less aware of what America gets in return. You and
your team need to make the argument on social media that Israel is a great friend of America and
is vital to U.S. national security. Israel needs to better portray itself as a member of “Team
Humanity.” Israel needs to establish a baseline of her identity. To run an effective messaging
campaign, you need a clearly defined message. This message should be homegrown from Israel.
In other words, create original content from Israel. Videos and visuals feed social media. Keep
these edited clips short under 1 minute and post the best ones on the Israel Truth Network (ITN).
Don’t rely on non-Israeli social media influencers to create all these clips. Create them
yourselves and influencers (surrogates) like me can promote this ORIGINAL work and refer
people to your social media and websites. Be proactive – take the lead. Bottom line is Israel
needs to learn to fish (i.e. create your own content) and be more self-reliant when it comes to
your communications strategy.
- Iran: Israel could do a better job explaining the Iranian threat. Among the many
conservatives who support Israel, there is a concern that America could become entangled in a
quagmire in Iran. My generation grew up with disasters in Afghanistan and Iraq. We were
promised there were WMD’s in Iraq which proved to be a lie. Our generation was also lied to by
the governments of Israel and the U.S. that covid vaccines were safe and effective. Israel
intelligence missed the boat on October 7, but we’re asked to trust Israeli intelligence 100% that
Iran is on the cusp of obtaining nuclear weapons. Young conservatives are very skeptical of
government proclamations. We don’t fully trust intelligence assessments. Right now it seems
like Israel is primarily relying on Americans to make the case for attacking Iranian nuclear sites.
These arguments get a lot of blowback in MAGA circles. Other than you, Mr. Prime Minister, I
see very few Israelis making their case in the media, social media and podcasts. Many agree with
you (myself included) that Iran should not get nuclear weapons. At the same time, I share the
concern that America will get sucked into another endless war costing thousands of American
lives. Where are the Israelis who are arguing their case to win over public opinion? Israel
should be making its case 24/7 on social media including long form (English-speaking) podcasts
and social media channels and website(s) such as a Rapid Response Team and ITN.
- A paradigm shift is needed in how Israel presents itself to the world especially on social
media. Perhaps the best way to convey my thoughts here is to think of Israel as a political
candidate (in this case a younger woman who grew up on social media). Who is this candidate
and what does she stand for? Right now there’s essentially a massive negative ad campaign
spreading on social media. These negative ads are defining this candidate. Political campaigns
face this challenge all the time. Many of the PR challenges Israel faces should be looked at
through the prism of a political campaign. Like any campaign, the first task is to define the
candidate.
Right now there is not a “one-stop shopping” resource where younger people can learn about this
candidate. Every candidate has a website and social media. It would be political malpractice to
omit these tools. Sorry for the brutal honesty, but Israel’s approach to social media is “PR
malpractice.” Your “candidate” should list all the toughest questions she gets on the campaign
trail with detailed expert responses (add footnotes) on her ITN website and use social media to
explain her platform on a daily basis. These responses become part of Miss Israel’s “platform”
where her positions and values are explained. Like any political campaign, you need surrogates
