Famous Spy Servicing Israel Calls to "Shut the Mouths" of Hostage Families

Jonathan Pollard, a Jewish American and former civilian intelligence analyst for the U.S. Navy, called for the silencing of the families of Israeli hostages held by Hamas and suggested their arrest. Pollard, who was convicted of exploiting his position and spying on America for Israel, stated that the families of the Israeli hostages should have been "imprisoned to silence them," emphasizing that "posters of the captives should never be displayed." He told Israeli media: "When Israel declared war, the government should have declared a national state of emergency and told all the families of the hostages, either keep your mouths shut or we will shut them." He added that the Israeli government should have prevented hostage families from "interfering" in its management of the war.
