Daniel L. Davis is a retired United States Army officer. He was one of the earliest military officers to publicly criticize the War in Afghanistan.
Davis is a Senior Fellow at Defense Priorities, a Foundation of the Koch brothers.
Davis was selected by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard for appointment as deputy director. On Wednesday, the Jewish Insider magazine ran a story against Davis ; neoconservative radio jock Mark Levin helped spread the Jewish Insider story to his 4.9 million followers; within hours, Davis was informed there would be no job.

Besonders berührend fand ich eine Installation aus Videos einer Vielzahl von verschiedenen jüdischen Menschen, die jetzt in Deutschland leben, teils andere Muttersprachen sprechen, konvertiert sind, religös oder nicht religiös sind, als Kind den Holocaust erlebt haben, zugewandert sind.

"As it silences and threatens to sanction any dissent against Israel, its apartheid system, and its crimes against humanity as antisemitic, it is obvious that the government and parliament intend to spread fear of being branded antisemitic, being criminalised and persecuted for expressing your opinion as a basic individual citizenship right.

"From the very beginning of Zionism in the late 19th century, #Germany has joyfully and wholeheartedly embraced what Theodor Herzl offered to the “West”.

"By demanding support for the Zionist movement from European powers, he submitted the offer that in Palestine the Zionists would “form a portion of the rampart of Europe against Asia, an outpost of #civilisation as opposed to barbarism”.

Middle East EyeThis is not Holocaust guilt - it's entrenched German racist superiorityWith the idea of the racist civilisation-barbarism divide so embedded in Germany, it is no surprise its parliament has sided with Israel's genocidal Zionists against the Palestinians

The German state has bound its own re-birth into the “realm of civilized nations” through a particular protective relationship with the figure of the Jew, where (always Jewish) Israelis are a prime embodiment of Jewish life.

"As long as the figure of the Jew remains a medium through which German post-unification identity is articulated and experienced, the performance of Jewish collective difference and political agency will be exclusively relegated to the State of Israel. The figure of the Palestinian, as well as Palestinians’ political subjecthood and demands for equality will, in turn, be addressed as either an annoyance to be ignored or a threat to be criminalized—rather than as a crucial prism through which the multiple layers of legitimatized moral violence in Germany have to be recognized."
