Rannon Gisson, senior advisor and spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, vowed Sunday that Israel will hunt down the murderers of kidnapped Wall Street Journal reporter Danny Pearl, saying, "we will make certain" they "will not be exonerated. Our long reach arm will reach them."
"I think the fact that Daniel Pearl, his last words before they cut his throat, said those words, 'I am a Jew'.... has a very important message for us," Gisson told WABC Radio's Steve Malzberg.
"This state of Israel was created because it's the only place in the world where Jews have the right and capability to defend themselves by themselves," Gisson continued. "And by God, we are not going to give that right (up).
"And we will make certain that anyone who takes the life of a Jew, everywhere in the world, will not be exonerated. And you can rest assured that, although it may take a long time and although it may not be immediate, but those who murdered Daniel Pearl will not be exonerated. Our long reach arm will reach them."

Mighty words of resolve. Let's pray for the analagous actions.

Typically, the Jews in the U.S. are liberal Democrats, and don't believe in ANYONE having "the right and capability to defend themselves by themselves."
Nevermind.

They are too timid to take out Arafat or anyone else that kills their kids having a pizza. Empty bluster. When will BiBi be elected??

Doesn't Sharon's reaction simply feed into the propaganda line of Muslim radicals that all Jewish journalists are really Israeli agents? Pearl was a U.S. citizen. Sharon should pipe down and let the United States handle this. Any Israeli action, even if effective, would likely make matters worse, not better, for Americans abroad.

Also, why won't American Jews adopt the same feelings and attitude. If anyone should be pro 2nd amendment, Jewish people should be...

Yo, I can't figure out why some civilian Israeli hasn't taken out Arafat.
If I were an Israeli, he'd already be dead.

Anyone think Israel will still exist 8 years from now?

Anyone think Israel will still exist 8 years from now? Anyone think that Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Iraq, Syria and Iran will still exist 8 years from now?

It has been reported that Pearl was also an Israeli citizen...Also, your "let's not make the Muslims any madder attitude is silly.
Phil Hendrie had on a police officer who said he was burning American flags before the Olympics so that we wouldn't make the Taliban angry and they'd leave us alone during the Olympics. Of course Phil Hendrie is a comedy show where he makes up absurd things and disguises his voice so people get really mad and call in.
All I can say is that they're already blind with hatred (and stupidity) I say we might as well let the cards fall as they may...it's only a matter of time. Let's roll.

The better question is #14. Israel will win if the truth and justice prevail...

Sheikh Omar and his friends will be experiencing exploding phones, exploding cars and other hazards or will be found hanging in their prison cells if Pakistan doesn't do what needs to be done.

I don't see that this is any of Israel's business. If Pearl were of Irish descent, should Ireland declare that it was going to seek revenge?
Not that I particularly care who takes out these terrorists, but as a matter of international law, it should be either us or the Pakistanis.
