Right; they love people who hate Jews. Why the fuck would they kill him?

I dunno.

They didn't ask me if they should.

(and the only- and I mean only- reason I'd be inclined to say they did kill Kirk was because they just let everyone know they most certainly did not kill him.)

There's a funny babylon 5 clip here. the backstory is that her boss, Captain Sheridan, asked her to slip in that nothing happened in sector 83x9x12. She balked saying that her thing not being propaganda. She gives in, because in point of fact nothing happened, at all. He also did other things like having a fleet of ships move around and shoot random rocks in quiet spaces... all because he was trying to get a cantankerous group of allied worlds (ironically named, "league of non-allied worlds"...) to sign a thing bringing them into a more formal alliance. These worlds saw the whites stars shooting at the rocks, saw the announcement, and were like "White stars don't shoot at nothing! there must be an enemy we can't see!" (and then handed him everything he wanted.)
