Support Israel and free Pollard
At the rate things are going Pollard is going to die in prison.
I’m glad we spied on those spineless traitors to their own nation Olmert and Barak.
My understanding of why Pollard was kept in prison and remains there, is because of the assertion that Jews, regardless of nationality, owe their allegiance to Israel. The thinking at the time was that if every Jewish person with classified access thought there wouldn’t be significant penalties, then no secret anywhere would be safe.
Pollard gave away secrets that it is only the president’s prerogative to share. (BTW, this is why Saddam Hussein didn’t have nuclear weapons. Pollard gave away his weapon’s program to the Israelis who bombed the reactor. They also did this in Syria, but last I read the Syrian reactor is rebuilt and back in operation. I’m guessing, though, that Assad is too busy fighting alligators to drain the nuclear swamp, so to speak.)
This will be our governments response:

I wonder when the Kenyan information starts leaking out.
In that one who vies for the greatest enemy of Freedom in history is currently our President (ugh, what a foul after-taste), suddenly seems to lessen whatever Pollard could have done.
See? Do we truly understand the vile effects this one man’s thinking has on even people of conscience?
He was paid and did spy for Pakistan also.
I hope he rots to the very end. I hope he really suffers.
How many spies does the U.S. have in Israel? How many Soviet spies got away with it, how many were exchanged with the Soviets?
Sadly that information was then used by the Soviet to imprison Russian persons who were dealing with the USA. They were alternately tortured and executed.
One has a hard time dealing with mercy if this is a fact.
By all means keep posting this garbage in support of that traitorous garbage. It’s a good reminder to anyone that thinks American citizenship is a cheap second option to think again. But if I had the same kind of ethnic and religious attachment to Israel as you Pollard propagandists apparently do, I’d be a bit concerned it would put my friends off, and do nothing to protect against my many enemies.
Freeing Pollard would only feed the anti-semites conviction that Jews rule the world. He must die in prison! If he had been a spy for, say, Lichtenstein, which despite its name is not a Jewish state, he would have been freed ages ago.
We will lose our country if the U.S. Constitution is not enforced.
Period.

that Israel demand an American statement vowing to put an end to the surveillance and to immediately release Pollard
********
Harrummph!!! I’m amused by the phoney outrage, as if these guys didn’t know. They all do it to each other.
If Israel has refused to reveal the source of that information then Pollard should remain imprisoned and that is only one reason among many. Refer to an article published by Seymour Hersh in 1999: The Traitor: The case against Jonathan Pollard
The original is here.
There is also the ten volume Bible of signals intelligence that Pollard sold. "It told how we collect signals anywhere in the world. It tells you everything you want to know about a particular signal -- when it was first detected and where, whom it was first used by, what kind of entity, frequency, wavelength, or band length it has. When you've copied a signal and don't know what it is, the RASIN manual gives you a description."
Analysis of that information would reveal where there were holes in the intelligence gathering and which sources were assigned greater importance than others. That information would allow the holder to feed disinformation as well as to evade intelligence collection. Much of that information ended up in Russian hands, the same Russians who target the US with nuclear missiles.
Considering that the president is backing Muslim Brotherhood, and arming Al Qaeda, and you may have seen the thread in which Oak Ridge is helping the Chinese with their nuclear research... you may remember the endless cases under the Clintons and Chinese espionage (nuclear stuff, cryptography, supercomputers and so forth...)
Pollard is small potatoes. He doesn’t have a library and a billion dollars in the bank either.
The Israelis should arrest a random, visiting, high-ranking member of the NSA and then exchange him for Pollard.
Pollard, of course, was caught spying. And while Israel justly says the US is doing the same thing, they have caught a “body” doing so.
The NSA does so, so pick one off the tree and arrest him.
CORRECTION:

Pollard, of course, was caught spying. And while Israel justly says the US is doing the same thing, they have **NOT** caught a “body” doing so.
The NSA does so, so pick one off the tree and arrest him.
The best thing for Israel and Pollard’s legacy would be for him to die ASAP in jail. Every minute wasted talking about Pollard aids Iran’s nuclear program. It alienates patriotic Americans from a common threat. Pollard passed on information to Israel to protect it from Iraq. Now both he and his supporters will piss that away with Iran. Bravo.
