Were going to overcome it," Pearl said. "This was just a young couple, two diplomats just getting ready to start their life. The young man had a ring and was just getting ready to ask this beautiful girl to marry him and start a family. And thats all gone right now because of, quite frankly, just the lies. Just the lies and incredibly awful propaganda."Pearl said he believed that when anti-Israel agitators march in the streets or college campuses and chant "free Palestine," it really meant that they want to free it from Jewish people."When they say, free Palestine what they mean is free Palestine of the Jews. Free Palestine of your friend coach, Bruce Pearl. Thats what this is all about," he said. "If you were to sit there and call for an intifada or if you were going to be calling for the death to the Jews, just replace the Jews with the word Christians or Blacks or women or anybody, where in the world do you get to get out there on a street I believe in free speech so you know what, you get to do that here in this country. But we got to take them seriously now. We got to take them at their word. Just terrible to see that tragedy in D.C. last night."CLICK HERE FOR FOX NEWS DIGITAL'S COVERAGE OF 'ANTISEMITISM EXPOSED'Pearl lamented the "lies" being told about Israel whether it was on college campuses or in the media.However, the college basketball coach did not think the shooting would be a tipping point for those protesting against Israel."I dont know that it can. I dont know that were at a tipping point at this right now. In three days, itll be over, and well be on to whatever is next," Pearl said." You go to Washington, D.C., and you got Jewish congressmen and senators that are Democrats that are gonna take a certain position and a certain side of things because politically were lining up in such opposition were Americans! And its fine that we got different ways of looking at things, but no, I dont see this thing changing very much."WITNESS RECOUNTS CHILLING MOMENT DC JEWISH MUSEUM SHOOTER CONFESSED 'I DID THIS FOR GAZA'Yaron Lischinsky, an Israeli, and Sarah Milgrim, an American, both worked at the embassy and were about to be engaged before they were shot and killed at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, according to Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Yechiel Leiter.Washington, D.C. police identified the suspect as 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez, who was taken into custody after the shooting attack.
