Netanyahu: "Saying Israel Killed Charlie Kirk Is Insane" | WATCH

.

The Nazi propaganda minister said that the bigger the lie, the faster it will spread while somebody is fabricated. A monstrous big lie that Israel had something to do with Charlie Kirk's horrific murder. This is insane. It is false. It is outrageous. Charlie Kirk was a giant, a once in a century talent who defended freedom defended America, defended our common Judeo-Christian civilization.

Charlie loved Israel. He loved the Jewish people. He told me. So in the letter that he sent me just a few months ago, one of my greatest joys as a Christian, he said, is advocating for Israel and forming alliances with Jews to protect Judeo-Christian civilization. He encouraged me to make the case directly to the American people about how vital Israel is to US national security.

He told me, "The holy land is so important to my life. It pains me to see support for Israel slip away."

Now, if Charlie disagreed with a policy of mine or a decision here and there, not only did I not mind, I welcomed it. This is the essence of Charlie. This is the essence of a free country. It's exactly what Charlie stood for, and I knew that his suggestions always came from the heart, from his love for Israel and from his love for the Jewish people.

A few weeks before his death, I spoke to Charlie. I invited him to visit Israel again, and sadly that won't happen now. Some are peddling these disgusting rumors, perhaps out of obsession, perhaps with Qatari funding. What I do know is this, Charlie Kirk was a great man and a great man [who] deserves honor, not lies.

Rest in peace, Charlie Kirk.
