WhatsappIn a world where many people have it so wrong about the Jewish state, Charlie Kirk had it so right. His speech about Israel nailed it as he did on so many issues.
Charlie Kirk’s Speech about Israel
Charlie Kirk’s speech about Israel addressed so many important points in under five minutes. That is not an easy thing to accomplish! He said things in such a matter-of-fact way, because well – it is. The truth about Israel is really about the facts. That is what he spent his short life trying to get people to stick to the facts, decide for themselves, and stand up to the haters.
That is why he is advocated for the Jewish state – before he visited Israel and even more after he visited. Israel stands for everything that is moral in this world while her foes stand for death and destruction. Israel belongs to the Jewish people, Israel is not an apartheid state, and Israel does not want war. He went and saw everything with his own eyes.
Advocating for Israel
Not only did Charlie Kirk give a booming speech about Israel, but he promised to go back to America and advocate for the Jewish state. And THAT is key. It is definitely important for people to have positive views toward Israel. But it is that much more important to share those views with the world. College campuses across America and the world are filled with hatred against the one tiny Jewish state. Of course, all of their hatred is based on lies. But who will defend Israel on those campuses?
Charlie Kirk cared about America first. But in his world view, he wisely understood that the isolationist world view is as unreasonable and dangerous today as it was in the 1930’s during the Nazi buildup. Building the wall and securing the border wih Mexico is perhaps a top priority for the United States. But if Mexico is building a missile program against the United States, you cannot ignore it. It must be removed.
In this day and age where Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles are a reality, the United States cannot ignore threats from the Middle East. That is probably the most important lesson to learn from 9/11. The Atlantic and Pacific Oceans sure make it challenging to attack America, but it is possible. Without US aircraft carriers patrolling the seas of the world, the United States will find itself under attack by the Iranians, Chinese, or Russians. The Israeli Army is worth around 20 aircraft carriers in terms of keeping the bad actors in the Middle East at bay. Charlie Kirk, like Donald Trumpand others that have common sense understand this well.
Kirk ends his speech with “we have your back.” Such a seemingly small comment, yet it holds so much weight. The more people that have Israel’s back and stand up to speak like Charlie did, the stronger Israel’s public image will be.
It is not easy to defend Israel in a world where so many are swimming against you. But it is the right thing. It is the moral thing. And at the end of the day, what is right and moral will prevail over the wrong and wicked. Charlie Kirk gave up his life standing up for what is right and will be immortalized for his moral courage. The next step is not to cower in the face of terror, but to redouble efforts to spread the light in a world of darkness – like Charlie would.
