Overview
- The New York Post published Kirk’s May 2 letter warning Israel was “losing the information war” and that support was slipping even among conservatives, calling it a “5 alarm fire.”
- Kirk proposed a rapid‑response social media unit, aggressive PR staffing, an “Israel Truth Network,” human‑interest storytelling by everyday Israelis, hostage speaking tours in the U.S., clearer Iran messaging, and a rebuilt digital presence.
- He framed the advice as coming from “deep love for Israel and the Jewish people,” said Israel had retreated from social media, and offered his direct help to implement the plan.
- Netanyahu previously cited the letter and condemned online claims tying Israel to Kirk’s killing, while Bill Ackman released texts countering speculation that Kirk was privately pressured on Israel.
- Tyler Robinson, 22, is charged with aggravated murder in Kirk’s shooting at Utah Valley University, with prosecutors seeking the death penalty and the next court hearing set for October 30.
