I activated my long-dormant FB account to see if I could find #SheikhJarrah settler Jacob Fauci from Long Island, who seems drawn to any camera like a moth to a flame. From his public posts, I found a party animal, Kahanist, Trump-supporter, and COVID-truther. Some highlights:

He's willing to use the word apartheid....to describe vaccine passports and other COVID shutdowns.

He quotes Meir Kahane approvingly.

Regarding Gaza, in 2014 Fauci writes, "Obviously, I prefer a nuke and pave approach, making Sderot beach front property"

Not really surprising

He leads a holy life.

He bought a Nazi dagger for...reasons?

I'm pretty sure he took this photo of Itamar Ben Gvir of the Kahanist Otzma Yehudit party during settler activity in 2009.

He likes going to the Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount with military escourt.

He also bought a Palestinian keffiyeh to play dressup.

Yaakov Fauci on convicted American-Israeli murder Yaakov Teitel: "Arabs are the enemy, missionaries are the enemy..."

This might be the al-Kurd family house he stole.

His friend Yair Geiman jokes about Palestinians committing incest.

He nicknames himself the Kalashnikover Rebbe (Rabbi of Kalashnikov) and loves the attention he's getting from being the face of Palestinian explusion in East Jerusalem.

And just like the Joker, he's a failed stand-up comedian. Of course he wears a fedora.

He doesn't seem to be consistently religious. Most Orthodox people I know wouldn't sit this close to a person of the opposite sex. Or celebrate St. Patrick's day.

He jokes about "catching teh ghey" from shirtless men. Hilarious guy.

I think this is Fauci's photo of Baruch Marzel, also of Otzma Yehudit from 2009.

His friend: "please do not show anymore pics of that gold capped pimple" (the Dome of the Rock)
Fauci: "Hopefully it will be gone soon."

Pretty sure it was a march in Rahat, near Gaza, demanding the destruction of a Bedouin village. Also captured here: flickr.com/photos/actives…

Correction: Michael Ben Ari of Otzma Yehudit, not Baruch Marzel.

Richard Silverstein writes that Yaakov was arrested in 2005 for posted flyers praising the Eden Natan-Zada, an IDF soldier who killed four Palestinians in Shafa-Amr. He is a member of the Revava settler group.

He named his dog Shiksa.

Blog on the "Hilltop Youth" settlers: " They are laying the foundations NOW, and that is what petrifies the powers that be. They are not willing to sit back and have the Third Temple 'fall from heaven'..."

"...or a Elijah the Prophet to come anoint a king from the line of David who will fight the wars of Hashem and expel from the land (or kill) those who oppose the Jewish People and the Forces of G-d in the world, they are trying to figure out a way to make it happen NOW."
