The letter Charlie Kirk sent to Netanyahu in May advised the Israeli leader on how to counter “anti-Israel sentiment” among Gen Z and the “information war” being waged against the Jewish state.
In the letter, Kirk stressed that Israel needs a ‘communications intervention’ with the American public, stating that dwindling support for the “Holy Land” “pains” him to see. To combat rising anti-Zionism among the youth, Kirk urged Netanyahu to create an “Israel Truth Network” staffed by young people to convey that Israel is a “great friend of America” to Gen Z Americans, to bring Israelis held hostage in Gaza on a “speaking tour” across the country, to conduct on-the-street interviews with Israeli minority groups entitled ‘Dude, you got us wrong!’, and to have more of Netanyahu’s own clips translated from Hebrew into English. Kirk also suggested that Israel could do more for America, such as offering hurricane aid with a Star of David on it, in order to boost American “political and military support.”
Pleading with Netanyahu to stop ‘subcontracting’ hasbara efforts to American surrogates, Kirk pledged to push the propaganda to his young audience. Identifying himself as a defender of “Judeo-Christian civilization,” Kirk assured Netanyahu of his unwavering pro-Israel stance and insisted that his concerns came from a place of “love for Israel and the Jewish people.”
