Ari Fuld’s Legacy: Defending Israel’s Future
In the heart of the Middle East, amidst a landscape marked by millennia of history, the region of Judea and Samaria stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of the Jewish people. This land, reclaimed by Israel during the Six-Day War in 1967 after being lost for thousands of years, is not merely a geographical location. It embodies the lifeblood of the Jewish nation, deeply woven into its identity and faith.
However, the journey to reestablish a Jewish presence in this biblical heartland has been fraught with challenges. Propaganda, terrorism, and international pressure have constantly overshadowed the brave men and women who dared to call this place home. Their stories are not just tales of survival but of unwavering faith and resilience.
One such story is that of Ari Fuld, a man whose life and legacy embody the spirit of this land. Ari was more than a resident of Judea and Samaria; he was a force of nature. His passion for life and deep-seated beliefs drove him to pour his soul into everything he did.
With a heavy heart and rivers of tears, Am Yisrael lost a hero today from Terror.
The most articulate and unapologetic fighter and lover for Israel, Ari Fuld, has been taken from us.

Ari was an Israeli-American activist and advocate, known for his steadfast support of Israel and the Jewish people. Born in New York and later moving to Israel, Fuld became a well-known figure for his advocacy on behalf of the country, particularly through his online presence and public speaking engagements. He was a vocal supporter of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and frequently spoke out against terrorism.
Ari also played an active role in various initiatives to support soldiers and victims of terror, often raising funds and awareness for these causes. He managed a popular social media platform where he shared news, personal commentary, and videos defending Israel and countering anti-Israel narratives.
Tragically, on September 16, 2018, Ari Fuld was murdered in a terrorist attack near the Gush Etzion Junction in the West Bank. Despite being fatally wounded, he managed to chase down and shoot his attacker, preventing further harm to others nearby. His bravery and dedication to his principles made him a respected and mourned figure both in Israel and among supporters worldwide.
Even in his final moments, when unexpectedly attacked, Ari’s instinctive response was to defend not only himself but the very values he stood for. His courage in the face of such violence is a stark reminder of the constant threat faced by those who choose to live in the biblical heartland.
In the aftermath of this heartbreaking loss, Ari’s widow, Miriam, chose to honor his memory through action rather than despair. She founded the Ari Project, a continuation of Ari’s life’s work, supporting soldiers and ensuring that the memory of those who have sacrificed for this land is never forgotten. Through these efforts, Ari’s message remains clear: the fight for this land is not just about survival but about preserving the future of Zionism and the future of Israel.
The challenges faced by residents of this region are numerous. They contend daily with propaganda, terrorism, and international pressure. Yet, they remain steadfast in their commitment to their ancestral homeland. As Miriam poignantly states, “We’re not afraid.”
Ari’s story does not end with his tragic death. His legacy lives on through his family and the projects they have undertaken in his name. The ongoing struggle is not merely a physical one; it is a battle against an ideology that glorifies violence. The Palestinian Authority’s practice of financially rewarding terrorists and their families for killing Jews highlights the deep-seated hatred that fuels this conflict. Yet, despite the fear that terrorism seeks to instill, the people of Judea and Samaria remain undeterred.
They walk the paths of their ancestors, read the scriptures that have guided their people for centuries, and hold fast to the belief that this land is theirs not only by historical right but by divine promise. Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria are more than just territories; they are the biblical heartland of Israel, God’s land.
In the face of unimaginable odds, the Jewish people continue to stand firm in their ancient homeland, a testament to their faith, courage, and unbreakable bond with the land that has always been theirs.
