Love and truth were murdered yesterday
There’s a new hole in my heart. My friend Ari Fuld (45), a true lion of Judah, father of 4, stabbed in the back and murdered in cold blood by a 16-year old Muslim Palestinian. Ari was a true mensch who would give you the shirt off his back. He was a tireless voice for Israel, a consummate leader, a Judaic teacher, a black belt (level 4) and Karate instructor, and mentor to many. Another in a long line of tragic losses for the Jewish people and the people of Israel. As I write this, I still can't get my head around the fact that he is gone.
Assassination. Ari's murderer was Khalil Jabarina, a not unusual cowardly Islamist whose Jew-hatred was only surpassed by his disdain for life. Khalil was from Yata (8 km south of Hevron), raised in an environment of hatred and death, and of celebrating mass murderers. For example, Khalil was educated in a school named for a terrorist murderer of Jews (a school funded by UNWRA with contributions from European citizens). Khalil lives on a street bearing the name of another terrorist murderer of Jews, not far from the central square of the country, which is named after yet another killer.
In compensation for murdering a Jew, Khalil's already wealthy family will receive a generous stipend of 12,000 shekels (4,000 euros) each month, or 144,000 shekels (48,000 euros) a year. This is the price of a Jew’s head - be it a mother, a child, or a male civilian. This income is funded by European taxpayers. Just last week, Italy gave an additional 3.5 million euros to UNWRA.
Ari was a black belt (4th degree), an expert marksman, and carried a firearm. While he was stabbed in the back 5 times and was bleeding out, Ari somehow managed the strength to chase and shoot the murderer, who sadly, will live another day to propagate his hatred.
