Terror victim Ari Fuld mourned as ‘larger than life’ hero, champion for Israel
Times of Israel ^ | 16/9/18

Ari Fuld, the American Israeli man who was stabbed to death in a terror attack on Sunday, was mourned in an outpouring of social media tributes throughout the day, with friends and ideological opponents alike eulogizing the Israel advocate and former karate instructor as an unflinching champion of the Jewish state and fearless fighter to the end.

Fuld, a 45-year-old American-Israeli father of four from the Efrat settlement, was stabbed in the back by a Palestinian terrorist shortly before noon on Sunday outside a shopping mall at the nearby Gush Etzion Junction. Despite his wounds, Fuld pursued and shot his attacker before collapsing to the ground.

Fuld was rushed to Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center in serious condition. After resuscitation efforts failed, doctors there pronounced his death.

He will be buried on Sunday night at 11:30 p.m. in the Kfar Etzion cemetery.

In a short online message, Hillel Fuld hailed his older brother as a hero.

“He lived as a hero and died as a hero. My big bro is gone,” he wrote. “Thanks for the messages. Really. Just looking for oxygen now…”

I think I slightly knew him. Nodding acquaintance at most.

From the picture, he looked like a big guy. Given that he was a combat vet living in Apache country, I’m surprised the kid got the drop on him.

Jews and Arabs mix randomly at that supermarket. I and mine have shopped there many times. Arab knife attackers are trained to move suddenly, without warning, after the moment before acting casual and non-threatening. Very hard to defend against that.

Assuming that no one is checked for weaponry, I’m surprised customers aren’t “on” all the time, and super-wary of their surroundings.

It just takes a moment of carelessness, which a stabber is looking for, and the stabbing took place outside the store, so no weapon check was done.

In your personal experience, are Arabs distinguishable from mizrahim from the standpoint of facial structure?

Not really. You just have to make sure there aren’t any Arabs in your country.

Not so simple. There are plenty of Arabs who look Jewish/Mizrahi, and the only way to tell then is accent and body language. Furthermore, there are plenty of Mizrahim who, due to rapes and rebellious teenage girls, have Arabian features in their makeup, and the fact that Arabs and Jews are both genetically and culturally similar, and go back a long way together. There’ve been Arab converts to Judaism, and Jewish girls abducted or seduced to living among Arabs and begetting children. Magavniks can tell an Arab a mile off, because they deal with them all day. I can’t say that I have that skill. With some it’s obvious, with others not so much.
