I'm amazed that for some people it can be so ambiguous as to what defines a Jew.

Elezra is obviously Jewish (his first name is Eli and his last is Elezra for [censored] sake) and he has a clear Israeli accent. Mizrachi is a very jewish and possibly Israeli name, I was always under the impression that at least his father was Jewish.

It really isn't a hard list to figure out... our names our pretty notably Jewish for the most part.
