Notable activities

Founder of the Jewish Defense Organization

Main article: Jewish Defense Organization

Among other things, he is known for founding the militant Jewish Defense Organization (as a breakaway faction of the already considerably radical Jewish Defense League), described by David Tell of the Weekly Standard as being "located at the farthest, shadowy margins of American public life."

Independent investigations

Levy has also made a name for himself through investigative work on such figures as American neo-Nazi Harold Covington and of Steven Hatfill, the one-time person of interest in the as-of-yet unsolved 2001 anthrax attacks; on the apparently ultra orthodox, and self proclaimed anti-Zionist Rabbi Moshe Aryeh Friedman,; and on the reputed Pakistani terror cult Jamaat ul-Fuqra and other interesting individuals and organizations. Mainstream media (MSM) organizations have often made use of Levy's research leads, without acknowledging him as a source, for understandable reasons.

Allegations of libel and harassment

Levy is also known for his he running legal battles with independent licensed investigator and noted electronic privacy researcher (and former JDO member) Steven Rombom, for which Rombom would ultimately sue Levy and the JDO for in 1997 alleging defamation, false light invasion of privacy, and incitement to violence., for his incessant attacks against ADL founder Abraham Foxman and others. Along with JDO activist A. J. Weberman, also known for his activism in the Youth International Party (Yippies,) Levy and the JDO were successfully sued for libel more recently and fined $850,000.[1]

Camp Jabotinsky

Main article: Camp Jabotinsky

Levy has also organized a paramilitary training camp located in Upstate New York, dedicated to and named in honor of Revisionist Zionist leader Ze'ev Jabotinsky, where up-and-coming Jewish militants can bone up on the basics of firearm training, security awareness and the ethoi of survivalism and armed self-defense so as to better assure the long-term physical security of the Jewish people.

Writing Style

Levy is known for a writing style which could best be described as direct and confrontational. Judging by his website, he also seems to nurture a special fondness for CAPITAL LETTERS as an expressive medium. In April of 2007, the JDO launched a campaign to get Prof. Norman Finkelstein fired from De Paul University, referring to him as a "long time Marxist-Communist hater of Israel" and "THAT PIECE OF HUMAN EXCREMENT."[2]
