David Gerald Littman (b. 1933, London) is a self-declared historian, but he is better known for his activities with Mossad. In 1961, he led Operation Mural, a Mossad operation in Morocco, where he set up a covert operation meant to take Moroccan Jewish children to Switzerland and then to Israel[1]. His exploits were considered so important that even a documentary was made about them[2]. Together with his wife Giselle (aka Bat Ye'or) they travel around the world presenting the "plight" of the dhimmis (non-Muslims living in the Muslim world), and Giselle is credited with the term dhimmitude[3]. Littman has also written together with Yehoshafat Harkabi, an Israeli general, under D. F. Green, a joint nom-de-plume; both David and Giselle Littman have written under an array of pen-names.
