Agreed with the above notes.
I'd also remove the Yeshiva description - it adds little to the plot. He can indeed be a Yeshiva grad in the script but for the logline purposes, it is less relevant. If anything I'd describe his character as an academic in this way his obstacle will be greater. That said I'm not sure how a religious studies graduate will actually be able to catch the bad guys - what skills does he have that enable him to complete his mission?
It sounds interesting but there are no real stakes for your character.
There's no immediate threat so we're not on the edge of our seat.
If he is fighting the terrorists while building a future with the woman he loves...now we have some conflict brewing.
As Richiev said.? Who wants to watch someone spend two hours deciding whether to decide? Obviously, he's going?to opt for revenge.? If he doesn't, there's no story.? So frame the logline around his decision, his course of action, not his deciding whether to decide.
One other tip: in non-fiction stories, the logline should not include the proper name of the protagonist.? More important than the proper name is a defining characteristic and/or flaw.
