Israel saw the signs that Kirk was likely to turn towards the torpedo a la the Red October. If Kirk were left alive to do that, he might’ve influenced thousands or millions of Christian zionists to turn against Israel also, which would’ve been devastating to Israel’s financial, political, and military support from the USA. At the time of his murder, Kirk was seen as still being a supporter of Israel, so by getting out in front of his defection, Israel still had a chance to try to frame up Palestine supporters for the killing. Let’s see who the jew media fingers as the culprit. Killing Kirk before he turned and blaming the Palestinians is the type of two birds with one stone ruthlessness consistent with a machiavellian such as Netanyahu.
