Lew,

In the last two years of his life, Charlie Kirk, up until then an unwavering supporter of Israel, began to ask questions about the Netanyahu government. On October 13, 2023 Kirk appeared on Patrick Bet David’s podcast and denounced “bloodthirsty neocons.” He described himself as a 30 year old Millennial tired of no win Middle East wars. “When America is not leading, at least diplomatically, you’ve got serious problems.” A transcript of the podcast and the video:

Kirk asked if Israel stood down on 10/7 (29:00 on video); was opposed to a kinetic war against Iran (at 41:00); revealed how the US’s coup in Iran resulted in radical Islam taking over (44:00).
