Tulsi Gabbard Taps an Anti-Israel commentator as her deputy director
Daniel Davis, a senior fellow at the isolationist Defense Priorities think tank with a record of strident criticism of Israel, has been tapped as a deputy director of national intelligence, three sources with knowledge of the selection told Jewish Insider. Davis has also lambasted U.S. support for the war in Gaza as a moral and strategic mistake.
He has opposed military action to destroy Iran’s nuclear program, and suggested that it is only U.S. and Israeli policy and actions that are pushing Iran toward pursuing a nuclear weapon.
Three sources told JI that Davis, a retired military officer and early critic of the Afghanistan war, has been offered and accepted the position of deputy DNI for mission integration, one of the top jobs at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence under DNI Tulsi Gabbard, and is waiting on the completion of his background check.
The mission integration role “serves as the DNI’s principal advisor on all aspects of intelligence,” according to the DNI website, and does not require Senate confirmation.
Davis joins a growing series of appointees in key positions across a number of national security agencies who fall far outside of the mainstream on Israel and Middle East policy, several of whom, including Michael DiMino, the deputy assistant secretary of defense for the Middle East, and Dan Caldwell, a Pentagon senior advisor, are also alumni of the Koch-linked Defense Priorities.
As recently as Jan. 12, Davis called U.S. support for the war in Gaza a mistake.

“His Green Card Won’t Save Him” – WH Press Sec Shuts Down Reporter on Mahmoud Khalil Deportation*
During a heated exchange at the White House press briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt forcefully pushed back when a reporter asked whether Mahmoud Khalil, a green card holder, needed to be charged with a crime to be eligible for deportation._US Speaker Mike Johnson:_
Dems defending Columbia Pro-Hamas agitator Khalil is another example of how they, elite schools failed Jewish students
Watching Democrats try on different arguments to thwart Donald Trump, I’m reminded of a story involving the late Indiana basketball coach Bobby Knight.
After John Feinstein wrote an unflattering portrait of Knight, he responded by attacking the author mercilessly.
In one barrage, Knight called him both “a whore and a pimp,” leading Feinstein to quip: “I wish he’d make up his mind so I’d know how to dress.”
So it is with Democrats as they search desperately for a way to rally the public against Trump.
Their only guiding light — to be against whatever he is for — is creating confusing contradictions and leading them ever deeper into political parody.
Consider that the same members of Congress who refused to stand as Trump honored a child with cancer and families who lost loved ones to murderous illegal immigrants are now defending an Arab immigrant who is a leader of a group that sympathizes with terror organizations Hamas and Hezbollah and calls for the “end of Western civilization.”
Defending him is a strange hill to die on, but the Dems have become a very strange party.
