He was, previously, not anti-Israel. In fact, he was one of Israel's biggest proponents. Most of his donations came from big Jewish donors, who apparently were funded by Israel.
But recently he had, publicly, been changing his mind. He had a debate on his big Turning Point USA convention between a big pro-zionist (Josh Hammer) and an anti-zionist (Dave Smith, big libertarian). And he was NOT supposed to have any kind of "open discourse" with people who were openly anti-zionist.
He was receiving HUGE pushback from donors on this - not his grass-roots donors, but the huge donors, mostly large foundations with ties to Israel.
Apparently what Israel was most scared of was him completely turning around, specifically BECAUSE he had previously been so pro-Israel, and could really NOT be called an anti-semite.
Here's a video with Meghan Kelly and Charlie Kirk, done a month before he was assassinated. He seems really frightened.
Thanks. Well aware of all this. No way he was a logical hit for doing any of this. If people think Kirk could turn the evangelical base in Israel they have not talked to enough pro Israel evangelicals. It's not impossible but sure isn't the first theory I would pick. What is being pushed is way more likely to me.

Not the older folks, no.
But apparently the younger conservative crowd was turning against Israel. Check this out -
he organized a focus group in which he interviewed some of the leaders of local Turning Point USA chapters, and many of them were vocally against the war in Gaza. This went viral.

Even if Charlie was becoming more open to anti-Israel sentiment, that doesn't mean the Israeli government killed him or even had anything to do with it

I'm not asserting that Israel did it. But the official story reeks of a coverup. And Israel does have a history of assassinations.
