Dear Rena and Amichai Ariel,
I’m writing to you with deep sorrow in my heart. I try to imagine your loss from the brutal murder of your lovely daughter, and I cannot. As a Palestinian Christian who grew up in Gaza, I can tell you that my heart is broken and I mourn with you the loss of lovely Hallel.
Additional Info
- Teaser I am a Palestinian Christian who shares your sorrow. And I am not the only one.
Last Thursday, after a Palestinian terrorist infiltrated Kiryat Arba and murdered 13-year-old Hallel Yaffa Ariel in her home, Shuki Gilboa and others in the community's security team rushed to the scene and confronted the knife-wielding terrorist. The terrorist was shot and killed, but Gilboa was seriously wounded during the confrontation and lost his right eye.
Additional Info
- Teaser When he woke up, Gilboa told his wife, Shulamit: "I love my people and the Land of Israel; this is who I am, this is my life's mission, and I don't need anything else."
"We kill Turks and Jews and Hindus and Christians and Sunnis and Shi'ites and gays and Israelis and Americans and tourists and Africans and cartoonists and people in Airline terminals.
"Oh, and 13 year old girls sleeping in their beds.
"And all in the name of Allah, #NotYourGod.
"We are the religious 'holy men' of the 21st century."
