Yesterday saw the horrific Islamic terrorist attack and murder of a Jew in the Old City of Jerusalem. Yet the world remains silent! Occasional media blurbs mention that someone was killed but usually with some dismissive comments about who he was and why he was murdered. The man, a 32-year-old father of 4 with a loving wife, was murdered in cold blood for the simple reason that he was a Jew. Even worse, his crime was that he’s a Jew in Israel’s eternal, unified capital of Jerusalem. Adding insult to injury, the Muslim terrorist was given a permit by Israel to enter for the purpose of finding work here. As thanks, the terrorist repeatedly stabbed the Jewish victim, who unfortunately died of his wounds while undergoing emergency surgery. While it is no longer a surprise, it remains upsetting and unacceptable that the main stream media and world leaders have been silent on this horrific attack. The Arab leadership will continue to demonstrate why only Israel must maintain sovereignty over the unified Jerusalem. Their terrorism will never make the only Jewish Nation give up on our national treasure and capital city. In the meantime, it is up to us to SHARE the TRUTH about Jerusalem!

A 32-year-old Israeli who was stabbed in Jerusalem’s Old City multiple times in a terror attack succumbed to his wounds Sunday evening.
The victim was evacuated to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem where he was said to be fighting for his life. Doctors battled for hours to stabilize what was described as an “extremely seriously” condition and despite being operated on, the hospital had no choice but to pronounce his death.
The victim was identified as Adiel Coleman, a father of four from the settlement of Kokhav HaShahar in the West Bank, who was born in the Keshet community in the Golan Heights.
The 28-year-old terrorist, Abd al-Rahman Bani Fadel, who was later confirmed to be a Palestinian from the village of Aqraba near Nablus, was was shot dead by a police officer at the scene on HaGai Street, where he carried out his attack.
Fadel, a father of two, had a temporary permit for a week that allowed him to enter Israel to search for employment. He had already received such permits in the past, as there was no indication of his terrorist intentions.
Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat issued a statement shortly after the attack, wishing the victim a speedy recovery, and blaming the stabbing on incitement by the Palestinian Authority.
“We all wish and are praying for a speedy recovery by the victim and we thank that policeman who responded with the speed that is required, killing the terrorist and preventing further attacks.” Barkat said.
“Israel’s enemies are constantly trying to harm soldiers, policemen, security guards and civilians which is due to the serious incitement that they are exposed to by the Palestinian Authority,” he continued.
“The only answer to it is a determined and uncompromising struggle against terror and against those who incite to terror and the continued development and building of the united Jerusalem. I ask all residents to continue their regular lives, to be alert and to inform security forces if necessary in order to thwart further attempted terror attacks.”
On Friday, a Palestinian terrorist rammed into a patrol of IDF soldiers with his car on route 585 between the settlements of Mevo Dotan and Hermesh, killing two of the soldiers—an officer and a conscript—and moderately-to-seriously wounding two others.
The two soldiers were later identified as Lieutenant Ziv Daus, 21, of Azur, and Sergeant Netanel Kahalani, 20.
