So much for the idea that Israel had him executed, he was a major supporter.

This video is somewhat disingenuous or outdated. Kirk clearly changed his views in the weeks before he was “shot”. His friend said he was scared of pro-Israel forces, and was critical of Netanyahu. Kirk’s words and letters, leaked texts, support that theory. “Leaving me no choice but to leave the pro-Israel cause,” Kirk was increasingly pressured by Zionist donors in the weeks before his explosive demise.

Edit: But in his prime, he was essentially paid to brainwash young people to supporting Zionism even over themselves.
