Ft Collins, CO –-(Ammoland.com)- A hero goes down fighting!
Recently, an American/Israeli (duel citizenship), Ari Fuld, was precipitously attacked by a knife-wielding Palestinian teenager in Israel. He was stabbed in the back at a shopping center near Jerusalem.
Fuld was likely targeted due to his high-profile, pro-Israel political activism. At the moment of his attack, Fuld was carrying a concealed pistol (brand/caliber not reported).
After being stabbed (fatally, as it turns out), Fuld ran after and shot-down his attacker, preventing him from committing additional mayhem against other innocent bystanders.
As a result, the Palestinian perpetrator suffered multiple gunshot wounds but survived. Fuld died a short time later at a nearby hospital.
Fuld, though painfully wounded and dying, summoned the courage, psychological determination, and physical strength necessary to put his pistol to proper use… one last time.
Fuld’s heroism demonstrates, once again, that armed citizens represent, by far, the best deterrent to terrorism!
Let’s not miss his important lessons:
1) Keep your head up! Watch your six, relentlessly.
Innocent-looking, bubble-gum-chewing teenagers, sitting on the fence behind you may indeed be weapon-wielding great-grandsons of Yasser Arafat!
That’s not “paranoia.”
That’s the caustic reality of this unsafe, unsettled world of 2018!
2) Go armed!
Don’t delude yourself into naively dividing your life into “safe” and “dangerous” times and places.
There is no “safety,” not anywhere, not any time, nor will there be during our lifetimes!
3) Train!
The world is full of lethal weapons, and violent criminals/terrorists will always have access to them.
Some of us are experts in their use. The vast majority are bungling amateurs!
The critical, war-winning advantage we have over armed terrorists is our courage, audacity, and practiced expertise.
Be one of us!
4) Finish the fight!
When placed “in extremis,” and your destiny is to go down, resolve to go down fighting!
Ari Fuld did, and he serves as a shining example to all of us!

I am really not sure of the previously published comments. Some seem to be sympathetic to Ari. Israel is our greatest allies in the Middle East. The Palestinians have never recognized Israel’s right to exist. The Palestinian’s have and always will be the enemy. Israel wants nothing more than to live in peace. The reality however is that they are at constant war with the Palestinians. Our interests and Israeli interests are the same as it pertains to peace in the Middle East. Ari is a hero. I wish I could have met him. As to the Israeli bombing the… Read more »
The Israeli Air Force indiscriminately bombing Palestinian civilian areas with HE (High Explosives) and WP (White Phosphorus) and killing thousands of Palestinian civilians (an international war crime regardless of the nation) is ok…but, a knifing inside “Occupied Palestine” is “terrorism”? Ahhh…the “useful idiots” known as Christian Zionists (an oxymoron) at it again. “One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.” Khazarian-Israelis whose genealogical roots are from Europe, not the Middle East, are no longer “God’s chosen people” when God’s plan of salvation was opened up to all men and women in the world when Jesus died on the cross. But,… Read more »
I agree 100% with you Chris!!! When the chips are down,who will they side with.
an American/Israeli (duel citizenship) = TRAITOR
No man can serve two masters, for he will love one and hate the other.
You cannot be anything hyphen American and still be American.
I don’t care if it is Irish, Icelandic, Israel, or Indian. Dual citizenship is an abomination and should be banned.
