''My name is Daniel Pearl. I'm a Jewish American from ... Encinco, California, USA. I come from, on my father's side, a family of Zionists. My father is Jewish. My mother is Jewish. I'm Jewish. My family follows Judaism. We've made numerous family visits to Israel.''
The same thought crossed my mind. Also I believe the title of the video was something like Zarqwari kills an American...not a Jew or Jewish-American.
