Is it revelevant to learn that beheaded Journalist Steven Sotloff as actually was Israeli ?

American journalist Steven Sotloff, who was brutally beheaded by the Islamic State terrorist group, took great risks to keep his Jewish faith in captivity, a former fellow-captive of the murdered journalist told Yediot Aharonoth.

However, it turns out that Sotloff was in fact Israeli.

A media gag order on the issue was released on Wednesday, allowing publication of the fact that Sotloff made aliyah (immigration) to Israel in 2005 by himself, and studied at the Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) Herzliya.

Sotloff reportedly made sure to fast in secret during Yom Kippur and even prayed in the direction of Jerusalem, as is customary in Jewish prayers, despite the risk he faced if his Islamist captors ever found out he was Jewish.

    Not at all. Its all about a band of savages who think it OK to behead someone who does not follow their 12th century ideology in 2014.

    Who cares what his nationality was? He was killed in one of the most brutal and barbaric ways that can be carried out.

    He could have been from MARS for all I care. Time to wipe out the scumbags responsible and if they can be captured, I suggest we do the same punishment to them using a rusty butter knife and put it on pay per view for all of ISIS/ISL/IC (or whatever the F they are called) to see

    No. I think the Israeli Government is gloating over this, as it was some secret he did not pass on. No doubt some innocent Palestinian child will pay for this. Israelis are sick.
