The only thing I'd ask is: Do you want the alternative narrative to be true?
No. I was perfectly willing to believe the trans shooter theory.
If I hadn't listened to the Liberty Lockdown podcast a while back, and also in general known about a lot of situations where the official narrative was false, I wouldn't have looked into it.

I agree that the official narrative is often false, and that this is something the Israeli government (or any other government) would be willing and able to do.
I think I just don't see enough hard evidence to suggest that (though to be fair, I am not personally spending much time to dive deep.) It also doesn't make sense to me that Kirk would be a prime target for the Israeli government. There are much more prominent anti-Israel voices out there, and Kirk had not even come out against Israel publicly (and there isn't much evidence that he was even anti-Israel privately, other than maybe a few public moments of reflection.)
My advice to conspiracy theorists (not a pejorative term---I would've been labeled a conspiracy theorist re: COVID), is to pick and choose the evidence you present carefully. Don't get caught up in speculating over every little odd thing... pick the hardest most piercing pieces of evidence and hammer those ones. If you keep speculating about little oddities, you actually make your own argument look weaker.
That was my experience re: COVID. I had a lot of friends on my side who would speculate about every little COVID oddity and it made others just think that they're kooks. On the other hand, when I present the hardest evidence, such as the statistical weakness of the Pfizer studies, I was able to convince more people to at least think twice.

The theory that I heard (and this is just me reporting what I have heard and seen online) is that he was a huge pro Israeli voice, with an enormous youth following - the largest in the US, and probably the world.
But the Israelis knew, from surveillance, that he was wavering in his support, and starting to question if the US should be funding Israel. He had rejected offerings of enormous sums of money from Israel for his foundation, and said no to a personal request from Netanyahu to come visit Israel. And he was moving FURTHER in that direction.
So - and this is the theory - they decided to do away with him while they could call him a hero of Israel.
There's tons of people who are anti Israel. But they don't have his following, and weren't previously huge prominent supporters of Israel, that changed their mind.
Check out the video from a previous post of mine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2qn0mvSCig&ab_channel=MegynKelly. Look at Charlie Kirk's face.
