> attacked american ships

Ship, not ships. The USS liberty accident 58 years ago was the only instance.

> refused to apologize

Israel apologized the same day of the incident. They also paid $13m in reparations (much more if we adjust for inflation).

> their illegal theft of nuclear weapons tech from South Africa

There was no theft from South Africa. His conviction was for leaking info about the Israeli program.

That's the "public" view yes. Many survivors disagree of course.

The entity who committed theft was Israel not Mordechai, however I reread it and it looks like it was a secret collaboration with South Africa not theft. But the main point is, why should you listen to whining about Iran having nukes from a country that blatantly lies about its own nukes and refuses to let its nukes be inspected? Iran is a much more responsible party clearly when it comes to the nuclear department.

It's also very well known that Israel secretly sold western defence tech secrets to China.

You seem to have mistakenly passed over part of my message that mentioned Pollard, so have a link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Pollard
