22 years ago - on February 1, 2002 - American journalist Daniel Pearl was brutally murdered

22 years ago - on February 1, 2002 - American journalist Daniel Pearl was brutally murdered by a terror group in Pakistan. Weeks later, a videotape of his beheading was released.

His final words on earth were "My father’s Jewish, my mother’s Jewish, I’m Jewish."

There's an evil in our world that preys on Jews. We remember you, Daniel. We carry your memory and refuse to cower or hide. We are proudly Jewish and fighting for the right of Jews to be free and safe.

May Daniel's memory forever be a blessing.
