Charlie Kirk was a friend of Israel and the Jewish people and a champion of traditional values. Plus, he was against going to university as a matter of course.
Really sad.
"When you tear out a man’s tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you’re only telling the world that you fear what he might say."
Let us not forgot that someone tried hard and almost succeeded at blowing out Donald Trump's brains [and many others would like to].
We live in a culture of violence [as we have since .... Kayin and Hevel], not only physical but verbal as well.
So I want to make a מחאה. It is not just a Jewish issue. Before there were Jews there was שופך דם האדם באדם דמו ישפך כי בצלם א-להים עשה את האדם.
When you look at a human being you are looking at the image of G-d. Even רשעים. As the Torah teaches - you take a מחויב מיתה down from a tree and don't leave him hanging because קללת א-להים תלוי.
Rashi -
זילזולו של מלך הוא, שהאדם עשוי בדמות דיוקנו, וישראל בניו הם. משל לשני אחים שהיו דומין זה לזה, אחד נעשה מלך, ואחד נתפס לליסטיא ונתלה, כל הרואהו אומר המלך תלוי.
i.e., a degradation of the Divine King, for man is made in His image and the Israelites are His children. A parable! It may be compared to the case of two twin brothers who very closely resembled each other: one became king and the other was arrested for robbery and was hanged. Whoever saw him on the gallows thought that the king was hanged (Sanhedrin 46b). [Note this pasuk is talking about Jews].
A non-Jew is חייב מיתה for taking the life of a fetus - a fortiori [קל וחומר] a living human being. Charlie was outspoken against abortion.
I just feel bad for Charlie b/c he just found out that G-d isn't a human being.... [named Yoshke]. I hope that he has a good place up there.
