Heaven forbid someone in Israel look up a name. This pattern probably goes back a long way. The blips are there for the U.S. too. This person shares a name with an actor.

Yeah heaven forbid they look up his name. Both 12 hours before it happened and a second, huge burst of volume a solid 30 minutes before any US news sources knew his name.

(And there was no US search volume in the previous 24 hours in the US)

Okay fair. But in my experience ~0 of these assassination conspiracies turn out to be true.

I mean that's really beyond the scope of the discussion. What matters to me is if they did or didn't. You are more that free to speculate. I'm focused on if they they did or didn't. Some one else can worry about why or how.

Knowing how or why they would want to know it is important to understand if they did.
