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,[1]; 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,[citation needed] without acknowledging him as a source, for understandable reasons.

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,[2] 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."[1]
