— 🇮🇱/🇺🇸 WATCH: Israeli-American spy Jonathan Pollard, who was sentenced to life in prison in 1987 for spying for Israel against the U.S. and pardoned by Donald Trump in 2021, says starving Palestinians and using nuclear weapons against Israel's enemies is aligned with 'Jewish morality'

He claims Israel should not have accepted the ceasefire in Lebanon and should have used nukes if any American administration placed them under an arms embargo.

He recalls Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir using the same strategy, threatening to use nuclear weapons, to force Richard Nixon to resume arms shipments during the Yom Kippur War in 1973.

— NOTE: Despite being considered as 'one of the most damaging spies in U.S. history,' Pollard received a hero's welcome in Israel and was greeted by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who personally presented him with an Israeli ID card

He landed via Sheldon Adelson's private jet; Sheldon's wife, Miriam, is one of President Trump's current top donors.

He called the Biden administration 'Amalek', a tribe in the Torah that was utterly destroyed by God, and he advocated for the forced displacement of Palestinians to Ireland, stating 'The Irish deserve it.'
