re: Guy waves ISIS flag and then Israel's flag on Berkeley campus (watch reactions)

I've lived in the Bay Area my entire life. No I do not think this was an edited setup. Yes I do think it is more recognition of the flag of Israel than the flag of Isis. Does not matter what he was saying, it was the recognition.

This experiment has been done on the Berkeley campus before. Back in the mid-80's when the UC system was divesting itself from South African corporations due to apartheid, I recall that a columnist from a local newspaper had a Black friend go to Sproul Plaza and wave a South African flag stating he was from Mozambique which was being torn apart by civil war and wanted support for the MRN which was being supported by the South African government. While there was much indifference to his presence he did receive some modest support.

The following week the columnist who was White went back to Sproul Plaza waving the same South African flag and requested that the UC system reconsider keeping their investments in South African corporations. An angry crowd formed and he had to be escorted off campus by police.

If I recall he stated that the experiment proved uniformed association (I'm sure those aren't the exact words he used). White guy/South African flag=apartheid, Black guy/South African flag stating he was from Mozambique=oppression, despite the fact that South Africa's support of the MRN was to unstabilize an newly independent, Black rule country.
