    I'm not sure I'm following, I'm a little slow today.
    I assume you're saying these guys are behind this?
    Does that necessarily mean it's complete BS? it's a very specific, easily verifiable claim...

    Wasn't that the guy handing out the papers? http://www.jewishdefense.org/levy-with-cops-again.jpg (a few years younger and a few pounds heavier) or http://www.jewishdefense.org/levy-arrested.jpg (quite a few years younger, but approximately same build).

    Once you've heard a certain person for many years, you might tend to filter out anything coming from that person.

    The one I quoted above from gettyimages.ca has a lot of resemblance (build, body language, etc), all you have to do is age him 31 years.

    I guess so.

    So bottom line, considering the source, assume it's total BS...

    I know Izzy's has (or at least had last time I was there quite a few months ago) an arab-american worker, but I'm pretty sure he wasn't the manager and I find it hard to believe Linda Sarsour is his sister.
    When I saw this guy going on about Izzy's and Hamas I assumed that was who he was talking about and I just ignored him.

    He definitely is his sister, I know both moe his manager and Izzy and it is Linda's brother
