Gabriel Schivone: "As A Jew"

According to FringeGroups, in their post  "Rise of the Schivone Jews"

Mr. Gabriel Matthew Schivone is one of the very few people in human history whose very name appears destined to become a description of a phenomenon, in this case the Schivone Jew.  Previous examples of persons who have given their names to phenomena include Vidkun Quisling, the Earl of Sandwich, and only very few others.

He's even got his own entry on Urban Dictionary.

Gabriel Schivone  is the coordinator of Arizona's chapter of Jewish Voice for Peace, and  was recently profiled by the controversial site Canary Mission, who wrote:

On the official 2011 Gaza flotilla website, Schivone is described as "a Chicano-Jewish American and undergraduate student who was born in Tucson, Arizona." 

Schivone is not Jewish. He has however, since 2011, consistently purported to be, and many - including himself - have suggested as to why this is.

He first "revealed" his cultural heritage in an article that he wrote for Ha'aretz explaining why he - as a Jew - was taking part in the anti-Israel flotilla bound for Israel in 2011. 

He was immediately admonished by a former classmate,Valerie Saturen. In a letter to the editor, Saturen explained, "Gabriel is not Jewish, whether in terms of ethnic ancestry, religious belief, or cultural identity. He has never identified as a Jew until it became useful in advancing his political agenda." 

Gabriel Schivone was interviewed in a Jerusalem Post article, Why do non-Jews bashing Israel claim to be Jewish? and was specifically asked  if he had converted to Judaism or if his parents or grandparents were Jewish. He did not answer affirmatively to either.

Gabriel will be participating in a June 6 talk to be held at the Culver-Palms United Methodist Church in Culver City, California. Even though Gabriel Schivone's lies has been outed repeatedly and publicly, they persist, exhibiting a narcissism that borders on pathological.

Again, from the J Post 

Prof. Alvin H. Rosenfeld, Director of the Institute for the Study of Contemporary anti-Semitism at Indiana University, told the Post on Tuesday that “Israel’s defamers and delegitimizers include large numbers of misguided Jews, manipulative Jews, malevolent Jews, and other Jews of assorted bad faith. With Schivone, we now see phony Jews added to this notoriously disreputable bunch.”

New York's "Celebrate Israel" parade, with a bizarre Netueri Karta twist

Tens of thousands marching. Hundreds of thousands cheering them on.

The Celebrate Israel parade in New York City has been one of the highlights of the local Jewish community calendar for 51 years.

Even New York City’s iconic Empire State Building donned the  blue and white for this happy day.

“Jewish” Voice for Peace and the International “ Jewish” Anti-Zionist Network go into hiding on this day. They can’t even pretend to speak for the Jewish community in the face of this very public and very joyous celebration.

But the Neturei karta- the self described “true Torah Jews” have been a fixture at this parade for the past several years.

This years participation of the “true Torah Jews” was truly special, as documented at Arutz Sheva.

In recent years, Neturei Karta activists have been accused of employing a "rent-a-crowd" - paying non-Jews, usually immigrants, to dress up as Orthodox Jews and pose with anti-Israel signs to make up for their own steadily dwindling numbers.

On the surface, yesterday's parade was no different, except that by many accounts the demonstration was somewhat smaller than usual.

But there was one thing: participants who looked a little closer noticed, much to their amusement, that Neturei Karta appeared to have gone cheap on their actors' costumes.

Several eye-witnesses, including members of Arutz Sheva's own delegation to the event, said that for a significant period of time the Neturei Karta protest consisted of just one actual Jew, who spent his time directing a crowd of poorly-disguised Hispanic and other non-Jewish actors wielding anti-Zionist and - oddly - homophobic signs at paraders.

The following pictures were submitted by Rabbi Elchanan Poupko, an Arutz Sheva reader who was present at the Sunday parade.

"As we came close to the Neturei Karta group and the other group protesting the Israel Day Parade, we were shocked to discover that only one Jew was there while at the same time he hired Hispanic and other non-Jews, dressed them with tzitzit and Nachman kippot and had them hold his sign as if they are Jews," Rabbi Poupko related.

 They're not making fake Jews like they used too.

UPDATE:
Characterizing this "protest" as Netueri Karta may not be accurate. The NK are not opposed to BDS.
