Israeli foreign agent took over The Charlie Kirk Show days after his killing

Israeli foreign agent took over The Charlie Kirk Show days after his killing

Max Blumenthal·June 18, 2026

Charlie Kirk’s media empire and his right-wing activist organization, Turning Point USA (TPUSA), have come under the control of the Israel-directed forces he spent the last months of his life antagonizing. Erika Kirk now claims her husband supported Israel to the end, while TPUSA misrepresents his opposition to war on Iran. 

The Charlie Kirk Show is now distributed by a federally registered agent of Israel tasked with seeding American media with Zionist propaganda. It is part of a whopping $46 million dollar annual contract between the Israeli government and Brad Parscale, the former chief of staff for Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign. This may be the largest lobbying contract in the history of foreign influence operations in the US.

On September 10, 2025, Kirk was assassinated during the first stop on his American Comeback Tour at Utah Valley State University. Eight days later, Parscale registered as a foreign agent of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, assuming responsibility for a propaganda blitz “tailored to Gen Z audiences across platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, podcasts, and other relevant digital and broadcast outlets.”

The deal meant that the Charlie Kirk Show, which had been distributed by the Salem Media Network since 2020, was placed under the control of a foreign agent for Israel, with Parscale assuming a role as Salem’s Chief Strategy Officer. According to the terms of the contract, Parscale’s Clock Tower would “integrate its pro-Israel messaging into Salem Media Network properties.”

According to a December 2025 report by Radio Ink, The Charlie Kirk Show “will continue as a podcast on the Salem Podcast Network, as Salem Media ‘will maintain its close professional and personal relationship with Turning Point USA.'”

Since Kirk’s killing, his successors have done their best to bury his vehement opposition to war on Iran, as well as his public fits of disgust with Netanyahu and his army of lobbyists in the US. Kirk’s widow and replacement as TPUSA CEO, Erika Kirk, now insists that she and her husband never wavered in their support for Israel. She has also been unwilling to state what her late husband would have thought about the war the US and Israel waged on Iran this year. 

“My husband isn’t here to say whether or not we should be at war with Iran,” Erika Kirk said in response to a question at a May 2026 TPUSA event. “I would love for him to be here right now and tell us if we should or should not.” 

However, in the months before his killing, Kirk left little mystery about where he stood on the US imposing war on Iran. In one of many tirades against attacking Iran, he slammed Sen. Lindsey Graham and other cheerleaders for war as “pathologically insane.” He went on to warn that a regime change war inevitably “creates a quagmire. And then there is civil war.”

Kirk’s replacement dishonestly denies Israel connection

Since Kirk’s killing, TPUSA’s longtime communications director, Andrew Kolvet, has filled his anchor chair on The Charlie Kirk Show. During an episode of the show this May, Kolvet took aim at antiwar Republican Rep. Thomas Massie, who had just been defeated by a Trump-endorsed primary challenger backed with a record $15 million in donations from Israel lobby organizations. While acknowledging that Kirk had been a “big fan” of Massie, Kolvet claimed that his late colleague had become “really frustrated” in private with the congressman’s obstruction of Trump’s agenda.

The curiously sourced comments prompted Massie to ask Grok, the AI chatbot of Twitter/X, “is it true that the Charlie Kirk Show is now distributed by a registered foreign agent of Israel?”

After sustained nudging by fellow X users, Grok finally coughed up a reply confirming that, “Yes, there’s a substantive connection here worth noting.” Grok went on to explain that “the distributor (Salem Media) has direct high-level overlap and active collaboration with a registered Israeli foreign agent.”

Grok’s reply directly contradicted Kolvet’s attempt to deny Massie’s allegation. According to Kolvet, The Charlie Kirk Show The CK Show “is distributed on [Steve Bannon’s Real America’s Voice], not Salem. I’ve been here for the entire journey. Booked all the guests.. Developed all of the editorial. We follow Bannon’s War Room.”

In the wake of Kirk’s killing, however, Kolvet explicitly thanked the Israel-controlled Salem Media for continuing to distribute The Charlie Kirk Show. “Salem has been so gracious through this process and even encouraged us to continue broadcasting the show on the Salem Radio Network,” Kolvet told Radio Ink.

To this day, The Charlie Kirk Show is hosted on the website of the Salem Podcast Network.

Kolvet’s attempt at damage control had failed, deepening the public backlash against TPUSA for betraying its founder’s evolving positions on Israel and Iran.

Bringing TPUSA back into line with Israel

As The Grayzone reported, in the weeks leading up to Kirk’s killing, the TPUSA founder agonized over the growing pressure he felt from Israel’s cutouts, and from Netanyahu himself, to preside over a blitzkreig of youth-oriented Zionist propaganda. On August 6, 2025, just over a month before his death, Kirk openly raged against Jewish “leaders” and “stakeholders” harassing him for his criticism of Israeli policies. “It’s all of the sudden: ‘oh, Charlie: he’s no longer with us.’ Wait a second—what does ‘with us’ mean, exactly? I’m an American, okay? I represent this country,” he fulminated to podcast host Megyn Kelly. 

Days before Kirk’s public rant, he attended a private retreat convened in the Hamptons by Zionist billionaire Bill Ackman. There, as The Grayzone revealed, an Israel lobby operative named Natasha Hausdorff unloaded on Kirk for complaining about “moral blackmail” from Tel Aviv. By this point, Kirk had rejected a massive infusion of Israel-directed donations to TPUSA, and was on his way to refusing a personal offer from Netanyahu to visit Jerusalem. He was also providing space on stage at TPUSA events for some of the most outspoken right-wing critics of Israel, from Tucker Carlson to Megyn Kelly to the anti-Zionist Jewish comedian Dave Smith. 

On September 6, 2025, an arch-Zionist centi-millionaire named Robert Shillman denounced Kirk from the dais at a private gala in Los Angeles, expressing regret for showering his fortune on TPUSA now that its founder had turned against Israel. As The Grayzone revealed, Shillman had just withdrawn a $2 million donation to TPUSA as punishment for Kirk’s heresy.  

Four days later, Kirk was shot through the neck by a sniper in front of thousands of attendees of his so-called American Comeback Tour. 

Just over a week after the shocking assassination, the Israeli Foreign Ministry effectively took control over the Charlie Kirk Show through its lobbying contract with Parscale’s Clock Tower X. Given the statements Kirk made both publicly and in private to confidants about Israel in the weeks before his killing, it seems unlikely he would have consented to any agreement that gave a registered lobbyist for Israel responsibility for distributing his show.

Days later, on September 15, one of the most visible propagandists of Netanyahu’s political network in the US, Ben Shapiro, appeared in TPUSA studios to make a dramatic announcement. Seated beside Kirk’s former co-hosts, Shapiro declared that his Daily Wire outlet was donating $1 million to TPUSA to supposedly “bring people back to Christ, and bring people back to church, and back to biblical values.” 

Given that the Daily Wire was bleeding money, laying off staff and losing viewers at a rapid rate by this point, the whopping donation raised questions about whether Shapiro was serving as a pass-through for Israel lobbyists exploiting Kirk’s unexpected death to restore control over TPUSA.

To date, there is no evidence that the state of Israel was responsible for the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Yet it is undeniable that Kirk’s killing removed one of the greatest obstacles to Israel’s plans to compel Trump to launch a massive regime change war on Iran. 

As The Grayzone reported, Kirk was the only figure in Trump’s inner circle to personally appeal to the president against committing US forces to Israel’s 12-day-long assault on Iran in June 2025. Trump “barked” at Kirk for his disobedience, according to a source, and angrily dispatched him. Days later, Trump ordered US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, setting the stage for Operation Epic Fury the following year. This account has since been confirmed by Vice President J.D. Vance. 

Burying Charlie Kirk’s evolution

When Trump launched Operation Epic Fury on February 28, 2026, he initiated an imbroglio that would fulfill Kirk’s most dire warnings about the consequences of waging a regime change war on Tehran. Four days after the war began, TPUSA posted a video on X implying that he would have supported the assault on Iran. The post ignited another yet angry backlash, with hundreds of angry commenters denouncing the organization for misrepresenting Kirk’s vehemently stated opposition to the war.

By this point, Erika Kirk had been working to bring TPUSA back into line with the Israeli agenda which her martyred husband had defied.

On December 13, 2025, Kirk’s widow starred in a televised town hall hosted by self-described “Zionist fanatic” Bari Weiss and broadcast by CBS News, which had been purchased by the billionaire Israeli asset David Ellison four months prior. During the carefully stage-managed and cringeworthy spectacle, Weiss nudged Kirk on her late husband’s views on Israel. 

“Charlie used to say: Jew hate is brain rot,” Erika Kirk insisted before wistfully recounting a junket to Jerusalem in which she “saw the Bible come alive in Technicolor.” 

“How could you hate that place?” she wondered, referring to the state of Israel.

The editor-in-chief of The Grayzone, Max Blumenthal is an award-winning journalist and the author of several books, including best-selling Republican Gomorrah, Goliath, The Fifty One Day War, and The Management of Savagery. He has produced print articles for an array of publications, many video reports, and several documentaries, including Killing Gaza. Blumenthal founded The Grayzone in 2015 to shine a journalistic light on America's state of perpetual war and its dangerous domestic repercussions.

The Fauci Grift; Shakedown/Breakdown

The Fauci Grift; Shakedown/Breakdown

By Capt. Randall

June 11, 2026

I once asked a nursery truck driver, “Where are you taking all those trees?”

He had a long trailer with a load of oaks and sable palms.

He said, “Goin down to Orlando, landscaping a new development.”

I said, “They bulldozed the land of trees, so now ya gotta replant?”

He said, “Yup, everybody makes money!”

.

The recent eruption of Bunga Bunga Ebola in the Congo got the screamers crying for a VACCINE!

“We need a vaxx to stop this deadly virus!!”  Suddenly it rained money, like so many other unproductive times before.

Like only a highly complex and expensive shot could save the world?

So deeply embedded is the drug-brainwash, that no other solutions are ever considered!

.

And so followed the same covid script, like dozens of successful shakedowns before;  monies poured into the CDC, NIH, WHO and a handful of pharma outfits to hurry up and provide another (failed) solution.

So EVERYBODY makes money.  Vaxx development, production and research, again the bottomless sinkholes for billions of dollars only to be squandered and wasted.

All because simple cheap non-pharma cures were to be avoided at all costs, and because they couldn’t possibly outperform the distant miracles promised by self proclaimed experts!

.

First they hype an “existential” threat, be it a disease, WMDs, terrorism, an enemy nation, the climate or some other emergency.

Then the toady networks pick up on it and since fear and sensationalism sell, a fake consensus becomes obvious and joins other fake memes constituting our mainstream narrative.

Money gets thrown at the problem from all quarters in the midst of hysteria and a sense of urgency,… a feeding frenzy erupts.

The Pentagon uses it, medical officials rely on it and laws are quickly passed to lockdown, restrict travel, surveill, control contrary information and even arrest individuals demonstrating free speech.

Seen It All Before

.

I was always annoyed by the annual flu shot push, but I noticed Fauci’s scare/funding racket appeared every few years and the promised solutions never seemed to pan-out, but claimed even more lives than the original disease through the pushing of bad medical advice and prescribed pharmaceuticals.

Statistics are usually faked or hidden!

Same goes for frequent announcements of “medical breakthroughs” by universities and drug developers.  “Shows great promise!!!  Yet the statistical advantage over the old drug is actually miniscule.

“Money talks, and bullshitters usually walk away,… with it all!”

.

Conveniently Hidden

.

Most people never heard of the successes of alternative physicians. The experts, in-on the grift, won’t allow even a whisper using ridicule, doubt and laws to protect their positions.

.

The therapeutic use of Vitamin C in cases of infectious disease, brain swell, toxic overload and sepsis are well hidden from a scientifically illiterate public duly mesmerized by pharmaceutical razzle-dazzle and the supreme authority of greedy medical experts.

.

Oxidation-reduction/acid-base relationships among molecules probably eludes 99% of people and the remaining 1% can’t connect textbook chemistry to the human body.

Inflammation, being the root of all disease, is basically oxidative stress where -electrons are usurped by +oxidizers and acids.  All pathogens, metals and toxins are +positively charged, and can be opposed by huge -electron inputs like Vitamin C and other antioxidants or ultimately destroyed by powerful oxidizers like H2O2, O3, ClO2 and Iodine.  Vitamin C in large doses is not only an electron source , but produces oxidizing H2O2 to deconstruct infectious bacteria and viruses,…and as such is the forbidden and hidden nemesis of conventional drug medicine!

(Please see Dr.Thomas Levy/orthomolecular.org/Riordan Clinic)

.

Pre-Probs

.

Pre-existing susceptibility; weakened immune systems, nutritional/mineral deficiencies, poor sanitation and an atmosphere of panic all add to bad outcomes when “plagues” appear.

Childhood diseases are usually overcome after a few feverishly uncomfortable days, but the vaxxxinators under an abundance of caution, worry over the very few kids with compromised immune systems,…so they all need the shot!

When the health of a community, whether in Africa or Appalachia is poor, disease outbreaks easily flower into epidemics.

.

Isn’t it ironic that the healthcare industry sucks the dollars out of people’s incomes, dollars that could have been spent on fresh foods, vitamins and recreation?…Or the serial extortion racket sticking-up congress on a regular basis.  If only we realized the pattern and became infuriated over these grandest of larcenies?

.

PreventDefense

.

Normal health maintenance should pay strict attention to wholesome highly varied nutrition, detoxification of heavy metals, sleep patterns, sunbathing, earthing, stress avoidance/exercise/nature time/play/fun.

Include sulfur/sulfates; MSM, NAC, RALA or DMSO to produce more Vitamin D, improve cleansing mucus flow and blood circulation and help remove toxins..  The ABCDEK vitamins, magnesium, zinc, selenium, iodine,…Activity with brisk exercise/physical work, rest and relaxation.

.

Oxidation/reduction Toggling

.

Anyone who ever maintained a swimming pool used an “oxidative burst” to shock the algae.  Bright whites from the laundry got clean of organic staining via the oxidative burst of Clorox.  Same process occurs in cleaning the system of bacteria, viruses and cell debris where this internal grime is removed by oxidation, where electrons are removed from the bonds of unwanted molecules and crud is literally burnt!

.

Megadosing Vitamin C orally or via IV in clinic is the classic example.  C -electrons take down inflammation while supplying an immune-like oxidative burst.

Oral megadose uses pure Vitamin C fizzed with half as much baking soda in half cup water to bowel tolerance, 2-10 GRAMS C, every 3-4 hrs on empty stomach.  IVs may infuse 50-150 GRAMS of C as sodium ascorbate (same as mixing C with baking soda) with the possible addition of B1 and a corticosteroid as with the Marik Protocol that successfully treats sepsis (whole body infection).

.

H2O2;  Alternate any antioxidants by at least 4hrs with hydrogen peroxide orally (1-15 drops 35% food grade H2O2 in a glass of water increasing by 1 drop/day for 2 weeks),…or nebulize 3% H2O2 plus 3 drops iodine every few hrs to clear sinuses and lungs of infection!

Hydrogen peroxide also releases an Oxygen internally,… good.

NAC, baking soda, iodine and DMSO can also be nebulized for fast positive results.

.

MMS chlorite/sodium chlorite /ClO2 is a safe bleach-like chemical that sterilizes the entire system. Can be found in 1 part or 2 part solutions.  “Miracle Mineral Solution” was discovered when malaria was cured when chlorite was added to the drinking water supply in S. America.

I have seen it destroy heartworm and clear breast cancer in my dogs.

.

O3 ozone can be generated at home to drink with water or infused IV at clinics.  It trounced Ebola during the last outbreak until doctors using it were removed from the Congo!

.

Iodine is another sterilizer that also supports thyroid function.  It can be nebulized, drunk in water or applied transdermally to belly skin.

.

UV light is an oxidizer, just look at the paint on a car hood left out in the sun for years.  UV blood irradiation is performed in many alternative clinics, where blood is exposed to UV light to similarly oxidize and destroy pathogens before being returned to the bloodstream.

Also why we take Vitamin C after heavy sun exposure.

.

And let’s not forget hyperbaric oxygen.  It is used by many celebrities, the wealthy and NFL teams own chambers.

Good ‘ol Joe Namath is still selling hearing aids after completing 150 “dives” in a Jupiter, Fl clinic, after suffering from years of minor concussions sustained on the field.

Hyperbaric oxygen forces delicious O2 into tissues and cells, providing energy and primary oxidation.

It is only permitted for use in diving accidents and for certain infections, but not a plethora of other conditions.

An Israeli study found value in HBOT use over a slew of problems from depression and concussion to various infections.

I posted this over a year ago…. https://forbiddenhealing.substack.com/p/oxygen-for-me-not-for-thee

.

Science? or Fauci-style “The Science?”

.

When will the real truth ever come out?  When will simple inexpensive treatments found by many alternative/holistic physicians to WORK ever become mainstream?  Or will the pharmaceutical approach prevail?

I once sought to have IV Vitamin C brought to a relative with post surgical infections, but alas no holistic practitioner agreed to infuse him in the hospital or even sneak it in.  I didn’t want to lose the boy and became spittin-mad over lame standards of care and hospital rules.  Luckily he pulled through on IV antibiotics.  Occasionally a bold surgeon will overrule the administration and apply the Marik Protocol.

  .

Will AI find effective off-standard therapies to be real,…or will data center programming exclude such “nonsense?”

Though the money is on big pharma, I will never submit my personal health or science-based medicine to a stinken mega-machine.

.

Could RFK Jr. Remove restrictions on these life-saving therapies, making them available in hospitals?

Much of pharmaceutically compensated congress and TV networks still dismiss Kennedy as an “antivaxer.”

Consequently they rail on his animal encounters and snake wrangling since the facts of his efforts are really unassailable/and his work with The Children’s Defense Fund and book exposing dirty Dr. Fauci prove to me his scientific integrity.

He has now called for an investigation of the widespread use of criminal SSRI antidepressants,.. see where that goes?

.

Just in case anyone is ever in dire need of an IV or HBOT session, fline-up an alternative clinic *(try ACAM.org physician finder).

Please print, forward or republish this article or my entire substack archive.

Unless this medical embargo on lifesaving treatments is lifted, you or a loved one may find yourself in a hospital bed screaming at the walls.

Nothing would make me happier than to see this information disseminated to the public or hear it on the radio or podcast.

Sen. Ron Johnson: There Used to Be ‘Serious Journalism’ on Vaccine Injuries — But COVID Vaccine Cancer Risks Still Being Suppressed

Sen. Ron Johnson: There Used to Be ‘Serious Journalism’ on Vaccine Injuries — But COVID Vaccine Cancer Risks Still Being Suppressed

There is published scientific evidence showing that COVID-19 vaccination is linked to cancer, but that evidence has largely been suppressed and attacked, according to doctors and scientists who testified today before the U.S. Senate. Sen. Ron Johnson, who led the hearing, noted that after “60 Minutes” covered injuries and deaths reported after the swine flu vaccine, the shots were pulled from the market.

Suzanne Burdick, Ph.D., June 3, 2026

There is published scientific evidence showing that COVID-19 vaccination is linked to cancer, but that evidence has largely been suppressed and attacked, according to doctors and scientists who testified today before the U.S. Senate.

The hearing pitted doctors and scientists against Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), subcommittee ranking member, who claimed there is no evidence that COVID-19 vaccines increase cancer risks.

“Plausible Mechanisms of COVID-19 Injections Causing Cancer and Attacks on Scientific Publications” is the latest hearing held by the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, chaired by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.).

The hearing shone a spotlight on how scientific findings on COVID-19 mRNA vaccines and cancer have been suppressed and how scientists’ reputations were maligned when they spoke out about what they saw and what they know.

Past hearings focused on related topics, including the U.S. government’s cover-up of COVID-19 vaccine risks, its failure to monitor COVID-19 vaccine safety signals and widespread vaccine injuries.

Doctors and scientists who testified today included:

• Dr. Angus Dalgleish, professor emeritus of oncology at City St. George’s, University of London.
• Wafik El-Deiry, M.D., Ph.D., director of the Legorreta Cancer Center at Brown University.
• Dr. Sabine Hazan, CEO of the research genetic sequencing lab ProgenaBiome.
• Saskia Mostert, M.D., Ph.D., a pediatric oncologist in the Netherlands.
• Dr. Aseem Malhotra, a prominent British cardiologist and public health campaigner.

Johnson began by reminding the audience that the COVID-19 vaccines never underwent certain safety testing prior to being rolled out. “This list of omitted studies should shock everyone,” Johnson said.

The omitted studies included tests for “drug-drug interactions, cardiovascular toxicity, central nervous system toxicity, other organ toxicity, blood toxicity, genotoxicity and carcinogenicity,” he said.

Johnson noted that there used to be “serious journalism” on vaccine injuries in the U.S. But that changed once pharmaceutical direct-to-consumer advertising became legal. He cited the “60 Minutes” report on deaths and injuries related to the swine flu vaccine — and how the vaccine was eventually pulled from the market.

‘Little willingness to openly investigate these potential safety signals’

Before the speakers’ opening statements, Blumenthal, a staunch COVID-19 vaccine supporter, sought to undermine their testimonies. He told the audience that the National Cancer Institute’s website states: “There is no evidence that COVID-19 vaccines cause cancer, lead to recurrence, or lead to disease progression.”

“That is the National Cancer Institute,” he emphasized.

Dalgleish, El-Deiry and Hazan, all highly credentialed researchers, presented evidence to the contrary.

Dalgleish, an oncologist and immunologist with decades of experience in cancer immunotherapy and HIV research, recounted how he watched a troubling pattern emerge among his skin cancer patients, starting in 2021 — and how difficult it has been to get researchers, doctors and politicians to listen.

Patients whose conditions had been stable for years aggressively relapsed after they received a third COVID-19 shot, he said.

“Despite the seriousness of these observations, there was little willingness to openly investigate these potential safety signals,” he wrote in his written testimony.

Dalgleish soon noticed more trends — not just in his skin cancer patients. “I observed a marked increase in unexpected cancers among boosted patients, including breast, prostate, pancreatic, lymphoma, gall bladder, glioma, and bladder cancers.”

El-Deiry said his research and reputation were attacked when he discovered that the COVID-19 spike protein could reduce the activation of genes that suppress cancer.

El-Deiry, a physician-scientist and cancer researcher, has more than 30 years of experience studying the p53 tumor suppressor protein, which he called “one of the most important cancer-related pathways in human biology.” He said:

“By April 2024, we reported findings suggesting that spike protein associated with COVID-19 infection or COVID-19 vaccination could reduce the ability of p53 to activate genes involved in cancer suppression.”

When El-Deiry raised this concern in the normal channels for scientific discourse, “the response was not open scientific engagement, but escalating attacks,” he wrote. “Instead of contributing to scientific dialogue, the findings triggered attacks on both the research and the researchers involved.”

El-Deiry and his publications have continued to come under attack, even though there is no evidence he committed any wrongdoing.

COVID vaccines kill good gut bacteria needed to fight cancer

Hazan said she and her colleagues discovered that the COVID-19 vaccines “killed the microbiome, specifically the bifidobacteria.”

Bifidobacterium is a probiotic gut microbe “critical for immune regulation, metabolism, gut barrier integrity and neurological health,” Hazan wrote in her written testimony.

Research shows that the bifidobacterium plays an important role in preventing and fighting cancer.

Malhotra, who received two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine before he learned of the vaccine’s harms, said he has been diagnosed with an autoimmune condition related to loss of bifidobacteria in his gut.

“And advanced blood tests suggested I’m at slightly increased risk of cancer in the short term,” he added.

Science requires ‘courage to follow evidence wherever it leads’

Dalgleish, who served on the scientific advisory board for CureVac, a German pharmaceutical company that developed mRNA products and was acquired by BioNTech in 2025, said he grew “increasingly uneasy” about mRNA vaccine technology as he spoke with mRNA experts.

More research was needed to determine if and how mRNA technology might influence cellular genetic processes, including possibly activating cancer-promoting pathways while disrupting tumor suppression.

Also, repeated COVID-19 vaccination can exhaust a person’s T-cell response and dysregulate their immune system, he said.

For instance, repeated COVID-19 vaccination caused what’s called immunoglobulin class switching, where the immune system switches from a mode of fighting cancer cells to tolerating cancer cells.

But most scientists didn’t look further into the plausible mechanisms by which repeated COVID-19 vaccination might be influencing cancer.

“Instead,” Dalgleish wrote, “many clinicians and researchers became increasingly hesitant to openly question or investigate these potential safety signals at all.”

Dalgleish said he believes the 2024 cancer diagnoses of King Charles III and Princess Catherine of Wales are likely linked to the COVID-19 vaccine. He wrote:

“I have no doubt in my mind that the mRNA vaccine likely played a significant role in the development of these unexpected cancers. I raise this not to imply certainty regarding any individual case, but to illustrate how difficult open scientific discussion surrounding these broader patterns has become, even when the observations are highly visible.”

Silence isn’t the answer, he said. Science requires “rigorous inquiry, transparent debate, independent replication, and the courage to follow evidence wherever it leads.”

Later in the hearing, Dr. Julie Gralow, chief medical officer for the American Society of Clinical Oncology, who testified as a minority witness at the request of Blumenthal, backpedaled on the claim that there is no evidence linking COVID-19 vaccines to cancer.

Instead, Gralow said, “Currently, there is no clinical evidence proving that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines cause cancer.”

Tamika Felder, a cervical cancer survivor and minority witness, spoke on the importance of the HPV vaccine in preventing cervical cancer.

I woke up beneath the rubble, surrounded by darkness, dust, collapsed concrete and the screams of my six-year-old son Nasser crying hysterically above the ruins, trying to reach my buried fingers.

In those moments, I believed I was dying.

What I did not yet know was that a part of me had already died.

When I emerged, I discovered that my 51-day-old baby Ryan had been recovered lifeless after spending more than an hour trapped under the debris. He was a child born during a temporary “ceasefire” in the war. Life had briefly granted him permission to see the world before taking him away almost immediately.

His body was so small that I wrapped him in part of my own clothing, afraid he would feel cold.

I was told Yaman, my seven-year-old, had suffered only minor injuries and had been taken to the hospital. The truth, however, was that my little boy had died before reaching it. They brought him back to me lifeless, only moments after I had bid farewell to Ryan.

On that winter day in January 2024 on the outskirts of Gaza City, my whole world was shattered.

Like countless mothers in Gaza, I had feared hunger for my children. I had feared displacement, terror and interrupted education. But despite everything, I never dared to think of death.

Ryan never had the chance to grow up and enjoy his childhood. He was denied the chance to run, play and laugh with his brothers.

Yaman, on the other hand, had shown us his amazing potential.

We called him “the little philosopher” because of the way he spoke formal Arabic with astonishing fluency and spent hours watching documentaries about space, wildlife, oceans and plants. He loved books deeply, memorised stories of the prophets and joined a Quran memorisation centre shortly before the war. Even during bombardment and displacement, we continued reciting verses together.

He was a very sensitive child. He refused to eat meat because he loved animals so much and could not understand why they were harmed and killed.

After our home was partially destroyed early in the war, I remember feeling devastated. Yaman came to comfort me with the confidence only children possess and said, “Mama, don’t be sad. After the war, I’ll build you a bigger and more beautiful house.”

In Gaza, the genocide is not just the mass killing of children. It is erasing human potential, destroying bright futures. It is taking away the scientist who could have discovered a cure for a deadly disease, the writer who could have written an award-winning book, the engineer who could have devised a new invention to help humanity, the son who could have built his mother a big, beautiful house.

And perhaps what is even crueller than death itself is how ordinary loss has become in Gaza. For the rest of the world, Ryan and Yaman were just two entries added to the statistic of 21,000 Palestinian children massacred. Nameless and faceless for the world, they were everything for us.

My surviving son, Nasser, became an only child after losing both his brothers. I still remember him pulling at Yaman’s white burial shroud, crying and refusing to let them take his brother away. Since that day, he has never been the same. He spends long hours staring silently at photographs of Yaman on a mobile phone as though he is trying to understand how a child can disappear so suddenly.

This war does not leave only corpses beneath the rubble. It leaves survivors buried beneath psychological ruins that crush their souls day by day.

Today is International Children’s Day, a day dedicated to children’s rights and wellbeing. For me, it is a day to reflect on how the world failed to protect my children.

This is a world that has three other “children’s days”: World Children’s Day, the International Day of the Boy Child and the International Day of the Girl Child. It has a Convention on the Rights of the Child. It has national and international laws protecting children. It has a special United Nations agency dedicated to children, UNICEF. It has countless organisations dedicated to protecting children, feeding them, educating them, providing healthcare for them, etc.

Why have all of these special days, organisations and laws when they do nothing to stop the massacres of children?

Ryan and Yaman were taken away from me in January 2024. Thousands of other Palestinian mothers have had to bury their children since then. There is a “ceasefire” now, and children are still being killed on an almost daily basis in Gaza.

Why have images of children wrapped in white shrouds become so easily normalised? Why has the world witnessed this scale of slaughter and not collapsed morally under its weight?

Perhaps because the world has grown accustomed to seeing Palestinian children as numbers, not as human beings. Perhaps because decades of dehumanisation have finally borne fruit.

But behind every number, there is a mother’s eternal love.

Behind every number, there is a mother who still remembers the sound of her child’s voice, the foods he refused to eat, the dreams he spoke about and the tiny details life never allowed him enough time to enjoy.

There is me: the mother who still remembers the soft cry of her baby boy Ryan and the soft-spoken voice of seven-year-old Yaman.

Ryan and Yaman are not numbers. They are my children whom the world failed to protect.
