Kfir Alfia is the co-founder (along with Alan Lipton) of the group Protest Warrior, a right-wing group that has dedicated itself to traveling to anti-war protests and presenting their own opposing view.
Background
Alfia's family moved to Dallas from Israel when he was two years old. He attended Hebrew school at Akiba Academy and proceeded to J.J. Pearce High School before attending the University of Texas at Austin. As a teen, he read many libertarian texts by writers such as Friedrich Hayek and Ayn Rand, as well as conservative publications such as National Review. He was a fan of talk radio and he was a published source at Contumacy.Org as well as the Austin Review.
Protest Warrior
In February 2003, Alfia was working as a computer chip designer in San Francisco when he reunited with childhood friend Alan Lipton. Along with two other friends, Alfia and Lipton decided to crash a February 16th anti-war protest. Alfia carried a sign featuring a woman in a burqa tied to a pole with a leash around her neck; the sign read, "Protect Islamic Property Rights Against Western Imperialism. Say No To War!" Lipton's said, "Saddam Only Kills His Own People. It's None Of Our Business!"
On February 17th, they were invited onto conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh's show to describe how they'd been met with shouts and spit, which Alfia described as "so much hate." Limbaugh posted pictures they had taken at the protest on his Web site.
In the summer of 2003, Alfia and Lipton moved to Austin, Texas, and formed Protest Warrior. They like the city, Lipton says, for its "conservative economics and liberal culture."
