Ex-US spy for Israel calls for Gaza ethnic cleansing as he seeks Knesset seat

[yaesu]

Jonathan Pollard, a former US navy intelligence analyst jailed for 30 years for spying for Israel, has said he will stand for election to the Knesset this year on a platform of ethnic cleansing.

Speaking to Channel 13 television, Pollard said: “I personally prefer the forcible removal of all current residents of Gaza, and the annexation of Gaza and its repopulation by us.”

Pollard said he decided to enter politics because of the 7 October 2023 Hamas attack on southern Israeli communities that killed nearly 1,200 people and triggered the Gaza war. He blamed the Israeli government for failure to prevent the attack or intervene quickly after it began.

“Until then, I thought that the abandonment and betrayal I experienced from the government was an exception and not the rule, but after October 7 I realized that I was not an exception,” he said.

1. they abandoned his ass for 30 years. did trump pardon him"?

“Until then, I thought that the abandonment and betrayal I experienced from the government was an exception and not the rule, but after October 7 I realized that I was not an exception,” he said.

as for betrayal. Israel's nuclear program is the reason we must fight iran : to keep Israel from using their nukes.

2. He should still be rotting in prison.

Some say, his release (2015) was a condition of the original US-Iran Nuclear deal, which would mean Israel would have had something to do with it. Really, imo, he should have been executed.

3. That second paragraph does it for me

A big FUCK YOU, Pollard! Go back to jail. Go directly to jail. Do not pass Go, do not collect a hundred dollars.
