Gabriel Matthew Schivone is a key member of  the subversive anti government organization, No More Deaths and the founder of the NMDs U of A Chapter.  Schivone is also the founder of the initial chapter of Jewish Voice for Peace at the UA campus, started in the spring of 2010 – one of nearly 30 JVP chapters throughout the country now collecting donations, which has a mailing list of 100,000 – and thereafter branches in the general Tucson and Northern Arizona communities, and at Arizona State University, in Phoenix.

Soliciting donations from a broad base of humanitarian organizations Schivone  flew  to Greece to join the USTOGAZA Freedom Flotilla, aboard the U.S. Ship, The Audacity of Hope. The mission was to bring aid and uncensored communication in the form of over 3,000 letters gathered internationaly to the Humas holding up in Palestine.

In a Haaretz piece, Schovone writes of his participation in the pro-Hamas flotilla debacle, to his deep sense of  commitment to his jewish faith and heritage.

Gabriel Matthew Schivone writes:

We are committed to acting out of Jewish ethical traditions, while holding Israel to the same standard as any other state in the international system – no more, no less. Before JVP, there was nothing on my campus that was critical of Israel from an American Jewish perspective. Zero. The group’s success demonstrated that young Jews – moved by their cultural or religious values, which include a belief in universal human rights – have been on campus all the while, ready and willing to join a human rights-based cause for justice in Palestine/Israel. All it took to gain support on campus and elsewhere in the state was a potent sprinkling of opportunity, initiative and political will.

In Athens, as I write, waiting to board the Audacity of Hope, I am wearing a Star of David amulet around my neck, which was given to me the night before I left Arizona by a dear friend and fellow JVP organizer. She got it from a silversmith in Haifa while on a “Birthright” trip as an adolescent. For her, it had always been the reminder of the crude brainwashing she felt she had encountered on that trip. But when she came across the star recently, she decided it might be put to good use if I were to wear it on my journey. And so that’s what I’m doing.

I wear it as a symbol of the basic values of Judaism that I feel are not emphasized sufficiently today: the imperative to welcome the stranger as you would want to be welcomed; and of helping to free the slave from a bondage that you would not wish to suffer.

 

Schivone represents himself as a Chicano-Jewish American from Tucson, Founder and coordinator of Jewish Voice for Peace at the University of Arizona and a key member of No More deaths.

Hamas preaches and engages in violence and terror in order to destroy the state of Israel and replace it with an Islamic state. Its virulent hatred of Jews and Judaism is deeply rooted in the anti-Semitic writings of Muslim Brotherhood theologians

Now for the real story, Gabriel Matthew Schivone is not Jewish. He apparently has a very distant Jewish relative, but has only adopted a Jewish identity in order to promote his politics and boost donations.

Valerie Saturen in Haaretz says:

In his editorial about joining the flotilla to Gaza, Gabriel Schivone represented himself as a Jewish college student. I feel I must point out that this not his true identity, but one he has created in order to generate insider credibility, shield himself from accusations of anti-Semitism, and resonate with a target audience.

…

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. During the High Holiday season of 2007, Gabriel told me that he discussed Israel with campus representatives of Chabad, identifying himself as a Jew. When asked why he did this, he explained that he has a distant Jewish relative and that “you use what you have.”

 

So who is Gabriel Matthew Schivone? We  already know he can lie, but what is his real identity and his true agenda with, the Jewish Voice for Peace,  No More Deaths, and aiding the brutal terrorists group Humas?
