Israel is being blamed for Charlie Kirk's death. Here's what that conspiracy theory says about the far right's divide

Less than two hours after Charlie Kirk was killed by a gunman in Utah, Maram Susli began suggesting to her 500,000 followers on X that Israel was to blame.

“Charlie Kirk was attacked by Israel supporters last month and labeled an anti-Semite for defending free speech,” wrote Susli, a self-styled analyst known for spreading conspiracy theories, in her initial post, which received more than 1.4 million views and 4,400 shares on X.

“Targeting the neck is very IDF coded,” she wrote later in the same thread, featuring an X-ray of Gaza civilians who had been shot in the head.

Jackson Hinkle, a right-wing commentator, quickly seized on the same theory, and by early Thursday morning he was ready to declare, “I think Israel killed Charlie Kirk.”

Hinkle isn't really a RW commentator, he's a full on neonazi that no one important pays attention to. Having said that though, social media is now filled with posts about how the Kirk shooter is the fall guy for Israel/Mossad. Without a shred of evidence of course, but that doesn't matter....
