Why Nick Fuentes is Suddenly Pro Israel

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's brutal assassination, we're witnessing the grotesque spectacle of Nick Fuentes slithering into the spotlight.

First, for anyone who doesn't yet know, Fuentes is an unrepentant white nationalist and Holocaust denier, who despises Jews, Israel and all things Jewish.

Suddenly, he's saying things like "Don't be ridiculous- Israel didn't kill Charlie Kirk ... The people who say it's not the Jews, it's Israel. It's not Israel, it's Netanyahu- you can keep 'em. The shamelessness, her [Candace] and Max Bumenthal, with a ghoulish pale face, a nebbish. [Don't] tell me that's an honest broker. You can keep em. Candace Owens is as dumb as they come, Blumenthal is a Russia schill, left-wing midget Jackson Hinkle is dumb as a rock."

Sounds good, right? Shocking, but hopeful. Maybe Nick has turned a page and finally 'seen the light'.

Sadly, Nick is a calculating provocateur, peddling a mix of faux sympathy and his signature venom, all while eyeing the power vacuum left by Kirk's death.

Fuentes built his "Groyper" army by harassing mainstream conservatives like Kirk with antisemitic ambushes at events in 2019 and 2020, has suddenly discovered a sliver of "respect" for his "nemesis." In recent streams and posts, he's lamented Kirk's passing, admitting the conservative firebrand's work ethic "inspired" him despite their bitter rivalry. He even described the chilling moment he saw Kirk's Wikipedia page shift from "is" to "was," feigning devastation over the loss. But scratch the surface, and the rot emerges. Fuentes has called Erika Kirk's heartfelt tribute to her husband, an email to TPUSA members urging continued activism, "disgusting." Classy, Nick. Real empathetic.

And then there's the dog-whistle chorus: Fuentes has framed Kirk's murder as evidence of "pro-Israel capture" in the right-wing sphere, a thinly veiled antisemitic trope that echoes his lifelong obsession with blaming Jews for everything from cultural decay to political betrayals.

Then he says Israel didn't do it, trying to create a persona far removed from Candace Owens, who has been spreading conspiracy theories about Israel and the Mossad assassinating Charlie since he was killed. He is trying to become even more popular amongst conservatives. That's all this new pro-Israel thing is, Nick jumping on the bandwagon of being the rational voice amongst the conservatives.

He's quick to insist his followers were "framed" in early speculation about the shooter, Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old now facing aggravated murder charges and potentially the death penalty. Fuentes condemns the violence, but only after reflecting on his own "legacy" and mortality, as if Kirk's bloodied corpse is just another prop in his narcissistic theater. And then he calls Candace shameless for doing the same thing.

Let's be clear: Fuentes hasn't changed a iota. This is the same man who praised Adolf Hitler as "really cool," denied the Holocaust's scale, and declared America a "white-majority country" that should remain so, by force if necessary. His "America First" rallies have devolved into chants of "Death to Israel" and worse; he's been banned from every major platform for hate speech, yet clings to a cult-like following of disaffected young men radicalized online. Remember his infamous dinner with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago in 2022? It nearly derailed Trump's comeback, forcing even the former president to distance himself from the toxic association. Fuentes thrives on chaos, inciting his "Groypers" to infiltrate and undermine groups like TPUSA, all while railing against "Jewish influence" in media, finance, and politics.

Now, with Kirk gone, a man who built a genuine grassroots machine for young conservatives, Fuentes sees opportunity. Sources report he's positioning himself as the "most extreme right-winger," using Kirk's tragedy to surge in visibility and followers. He's even called out Trump for skipping Kirk's memorial, painting himself as the true guardian of the movement while the president golfs. It's a masterclass in vulturism: circle the corpse, pick at the remains, and declare yourself king of the carrion.

Nick's sudden 'change of heart' regarding Israel is a lie. He hates us as much as he ever did, which would be fine if he didn't command a massive, volatile following, hundreds of thousands across Telegram, Rumble, and underground networks, primed for extremism.

His rhetoric has already inspired real-world hate: from synagogue threats to the January 6 Capitol riot echoes. In a polarized America reeling from political violence, Kirk's killer allegedly targeted him for his views, Fuentes' opportunism isn't just cynical; it's incendiary. He's not stepping into a vacuum; he's trying to fill it with poison.

Fuentes isn't reformed; he's reloaded. And that's a threat we can't afford to ignore.
