# Charlie Kirk on Israel, Gaza and Media Coverage - Original post: https://www.twitter.com/i/status/2098088637548380260 - Source account: [@Jvnior](https://x.com/Jvnior) - Source language: English - Duration: 4:00 - Published: 2026-09-11 - Canonical URL: https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0klgd2K6sybD/en/charlie-kirk-on-israel-gaza-and-media-coverage ## Transcript [0:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0klgd2K6sybD/en/charlie-kirk-on-israel-gaza-and-media-coverage) But the fact is now Bibi and the Israeli hard-right government has a mandate, I gotta be careful the way I say this, to-- they're gonna try to ethnically cleanse Gaza. [0:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0klgd2K6sybD/en/charlie-kirk-on-israel-gaza-and-media-coverage?t=11) I mean that, that's-- and I'm, I don't use that term lightly, okay? [0:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0klgd2K6sybD/en/charlie-kirk-on-israel-gaza-and-media-coverage?t=16) And Jewish donors, they have a lot of explaining to do, a lot of decoupling to do because Jewish donors have been the number one funding mechanism of radical open border neoliberal quasi-Marxist policies, cultural institutions, and nonprofits. [0:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0klgd2K6sybD/en/charlie-kirk-on-israel-gaza-and-media-coverage?t=34) This is a beast created by secular Jews, and now it's coming for Jews, and they're like, "What on earth happened?" [0:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0klgd2K6sybD/en/charlie-kirk-on-israel-gaza-and-media-coverage?t=42) And it's not just the colleges. It's the nonprofits. It's the movies. [0:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0klgd2K6sybD/en/charlie-kirk-on-israel-gaza-and-media-coverage?t=45) It's Hollywood. It's all of it. It's like time for you guys to wake up and say, "No more." Draw a line in the sand. I don't care if you hate me. [0:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0klgd2K6sybD/en/charlie-kirk-on-israel-gaza-and-media-coverage?t=52) There's been many people in the pro-Israel world that have been very sweet, very kind, and I, and I will say this, the behavior by a lot, both privately and publicly, are pushing people like you and me away. We're like, "Honestly, the way you are treating me is so repulsive." I have text messages, Megan, calling me an anti-Semite. [1:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0klgd2K6sybD/en/charlie-kirk-on-israel-gaza-and-media-coverage?t=71) That's ridiculous. I am learning biblical Hebrew and writing a book on the Shabbat. [1:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0klgd2K6sybD/en/charlie-kirk-on-israel-gaza-and-media-coverage?t=75) "Charlie, what are you doing?" Like, "Why are you..." What am I doing? [1:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0klgd2K6sybD/en/charlie-kirk-on-israel-gaza-and-media-coverage?t=80) I-I'm sorry. Like, let's just take a step back here. [1:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0klgd2K6sybD/en/charlie-kirk-on-israel-gaza-and-media-coverage?t=82) Like, I'm an American citizen. My moral character is now being put into question, Megan. [1:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0klgd2K6sybD/en/charlie-kirk-on-israel-gaza-and-media-coverage?t=89) Not my decisions, not like, "Hey, are you doing this? [1:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0klgd2K6sybD/en/charlie-kirk-on-israel-gaza-and-media-coverage?t=92) Is it smart, or is it dumb?" But no, I am a bad person if I do this. A claim I receive often is that Israel is committing genocide. And, and one thing a friend said to me, interestingly, which is, "Okay, Charlie, we pushed back against the media on COVID, [1:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0klgd2K6sybD/en/charlie-kirk-on-israel-gaza-and-media-coverage?t=108) on lockdowns, on Ukraine, on the border, on..." So like maybe we should also ask a question, is the media totally presenting the truth when it comes to Israel? [1:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0klgd2K6sybD/en/charlie-kirk-on-israel-gaza-and-media-coverage?t=117) Just a question, you know, that maybe we shouldn't believe everything the media says because I know I've been conditioned to ask a lot more critical questions over the last couple of years. [2:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0klgd2K6sybD/en/charlie-kirk-on-israel-gaza-and-media-coverage?t=126) Ben- The perception the legacy media is like owned by the Jews and therefore- I was gonna say, Ben, come on ... not pro-Israel. [2:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0klgd2K6sybD/en/charlie-kirk-on-israel-gaza-and-media-coverage?t=131) Y-You Jews own the media, Ben. Bibi said, quote, "You can't be MAGA if you're anti-Israel." I think you can have disagreements on Israel and still be MAGA, obviously. [2:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0klgd2K6sybD/en/charlie-kirk-on-israel-gaza-and-media-coverage?t=140) And if my life is like the dust, ooh, that hides the glow of a rose. [2:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0klgd2K6sybD/en/charlie-kirk-on-israel-gaza-and-media-coverage?t=162) Well, what good am I? What good am I? [2:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0klgd2K6sybD/en/charlie-kirk-on-israel-gaza-and-media-coverage?t=169) Heaven only knows. [3:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0klgd2K6sybD/en/charlie-kirk-on-israel-gaza-and-media-coverage?t=183) He didn't deserve that ending. You know, he's really young. [3:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0klgd2K6sybD/en/charlie-kirk-on-israel-gaza-and-media-coverage?t=205) But I know that, um, we will carry the torch. I will never allow the memory of Charlie to be forgotten, obviously, because there is no Candace without Charlie.
