Charlie Kirk is renowned for his devotion to Israel; however, Charlie Kirk has a history of quietly modifying his views in response to feedback and conservative trends. One such trend is noticing, as even Elon Musk has publicly done.
Indeed, the Cultural Marxist dynamic pioneered by the Bolsheviks of the Frankfurt School has turned on American Jews. Even Charlie Kirk has acknowledged this in a recent video.
Charlie Kirk tries to pit Bolshevism against Zionism, in an appeal to American Jews. Charlie Kirk acknowledges that Jews have been some of the biggest supporters of Cultural Marxism, and argues that this threatens support for Israel.
The problem with Charlie Kirk’s logic isn’t that it’s wrong, it’s that it’s been tried before. Winston Churchill made the exact same argument as Kirk did in 2023 in 1920. Consider how he defines the “International Jew.”
In violent opposition to all this sphere of Jewish effort rise the schemes of the International Jews. The adherents of this sinister confederacy are mostly men reared up among the unhappy populations of countries where Jews are persecuted on account of their race. Most, if not all of them, have forsaken the faith of their forefathers, and divorced from their minds all spiritual hopes of the next world. This movement among the Jews is not new. From the days of Spartacus-Weishaupt to those of Karl Marx, and down to Trotsky (Russia), Bela Kun (Hungary), Rosa Luxembourg (Germany), and Emma Goldman (United States), this world-wide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilisation and for the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious malevolence, and impossible equality, has been steadily growing. It played, as a modern writer, Mrs. Webster, has so ably shown, a definitely recognisable part in the tragedy of the French Revolution. It has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the Nineteenth Century; and now at last this band of extraordinary personalities from the underworld of the great cities of Europe and America have gripped the Russian people by the hair of their heads and have become practically the undisputed masters of that enormous empire.
Winston Churchill argued that Zionism was the solution to Bolshevism.
Zionism offers the third sphere to the political conceptions of the Jewish race. In violent contrast to international communism, it presents to the Jew a national idea of a commanding character. It has fallen to the British Government, as the result of the conquest of Palestine, to have the opportunity and the responsibility of securing for the Jewish race all over the world a home and a centre of national life. The statesmanship and historic sense of Mr. Balfour were prompt to seize this opportunity. Declarations have been made which have irrevocably decided the policy of Great Britain. The fiery energies of Dr. Weissman, the leader, for practical purposes, of the Zionist project, backed by many of the most prominent British Jews, and supported by the full authority of Lord Allenby, are all directed to achieving the success of this inspiring movement.
Of course, Palestine is far too small to accommodate more than a fraction of the Jewish race, nor do the majority of national Jews wish to go there. But if, as may well happen, there should be created in our lifetime by the banks of the Jordan a Jewish State under the protection of the British Crown, which might comprise three or four millions of Jews, an event would have occurred in the history of the world which would, from every point of view, be beneficial, and would be especially in harmony with the truest interests of the British Empire.
Zionism has already become a factor in the political convulsions of Russia, as a powerful competing influence in Bolshevik circles with the international communistic system. Nothing could be more significant than the fury with which Trotsky has attacked the Zionists generally, and Dr. Weissmann in particular. The cruel penetration of his mind leaves him in no doubt that his schemes of a world-wide communistic State under Jewish domination are directly thwarted and hindered by this new ideal, which directs the energies and the hopes of Jews in every land towards a simpler, a truer, and a far more attainable goal. The struggle which is now beginning between the Zionist and Bolshevik Jews is little less than a struggle for the soul of the Jewish people.
The arguments made by Winston Churchill failed to materialize, and there is no reason to think that Charlie Kirk reiterating the exact same premise and conclusion in a post-1947 era will succeed where greater men have failed.
Ultimately Bolshevism is the result of godlessness, and Zionism is not a cure for Bolshevism because it’s not a cure for godlessness.
Charlie Kirk’s arguments may not succeed in convincing Bolsheviks to become Zionist, but it shifts the Overton Window for Zionists to become Christian Nationalists.

The flaw with Churchill’s reasoning, of course, turned out to be that Muslims would not be content to tolerate the existence of a Jewish state, and to live and let live. They flocked to the area by the millions for the sole purpose of opposing Israel, and historical population demographics prove it. Since Israel was formed, the number of arabs/”palestinians” has increased at the same rate as the number of Jews.
Separation in a nationalist and federalist sort of fashion is indeed the best approach humanly possible, particularly where beliefs are concerned. As the Bible says, people can walk far more peaceably together when they are agreed. And Churchill was right about that, but it only works when people stay in their lane. If others are not content to live and let live, then they’re not going to give you a moment’s peace as long as you exist. At that point, if there were a cabal of certain individuals usurping power and control around the globe out of fear of persecution, (and I don’t know that there is, though there are obviously some individual troublemakers with Jewish heritage such as Soros – though in his case he certainly has no problem with the persecution of Jews and hasn’t since he worked for the nazis), they certainly would not relinquish that control as long as there were a legitimate fear of persecution.
The most correct part about Churchill’s assessment is “Most, if not all of them, have forsaken the faith of their forefathers, and divorced from their minds all spiritual hopes of the next world.” I.e., they’re not really Jews.
At this point it is counterproductive and nonsensical to debate about the re-formation of Israel, post war events, and whether or not it should exist. It exists. It’s not going away. And that’s just how it is.
It’s even more counterproductive to be trying to make such arguments at this point in time, fresh off the worst attack on Israel in its post-war history. This is probably the worst time possible to speak a word about such subjects.
Charlie is trying to address the antisemitism, as are politically minded individuals on both sides, and that is a noble enough cause even if it is partly motivated by a desire to win elections.
But the bottom line is that the attack of 10/7 will either go punished or it will go rewarded. There is no middle ground, because if it doesn’t cost the “palestinians” and they do not suffer loss for the evil they’ve done, that in itself would be a significant reward. Israel cannot allow it to go unpunished. And that’s just how it is. Like it or not. They didn’t start this war, but they have a right and a necessity to finish it. They don’t have much of a choice. Under no circumstances, in no possible way, can the terrorists be rewarded for what they did. And the impact needs to be severe enough that it won’t be forgotten anytime soon.
This world has no shortage of wicked, evil-minded, Godless individuals with wealth, power, and influence. Some of them have lineage back to Jacob. Some do not. Whether there is any sort of organization/conspiracy or not among men, is fairly irrelevant. As is whether or not what they do is somewhat justified or rationalized, and whether or not they, or others, believe the cause is good and just, that the supposed ends would somehow justify the wicked means. For us Christians, we know such particulars are irrelevant. At the head of it is Satan. And he’s playing all sides to his advantage. That’s what we’re dealing with. We battle not against flesh and blood. And we should not lose sight of that fact.
Do you believe 10/7 was a false flag? Conservative media outlets report this as a liberal idea, but it was a VERY conservative friend from church who first expressed this belief to me. Curious about your thoughts.
There is the “Intentionally Let It Happen On Purpose” or ILHOP hypothesis, which would infer the Israelis knew the attack would happen, but did nothing to advance some ulterior agenda. This would explain the security weaknesses in addition to the timing of the attack, but it cannot be denied that Netanyahu’s position is rather weakened following the attack, so Netanyahu did not benefit from this attack, which is a weakness to this theory.
