[Criminal Number 18F]

According to this Jack Anderson column, Pollard gave up a half-million pages of secrets, including:

• The 10-volume "jewel" of the NSA, its compendium "bible" of frequencies used by foreign military and intelligence services;

• American encryption codes and manuals;

• Spy satellite photos;

• Descriptions of covert intelligence programs;

• Soviet weapons designs;

• Targeting data and location of Soviet military facilities and missiles;

• Identities of undercover Mideast agents, possibly causing deaths;

• Technical assessments of radar and other military electronic equipment used by Israel's Arab neighbors.

Note that a number of those bits of information are of no practical use to Israel, but were priceless to the Soviet Union.

This selfless servant of world Jewry was paid thousands of dollars for each haul, cash on the barrelhead.

Anderson also repeats the allegation that the Israelis (specifically PM and former Stern Gang terrorist Yitzhak Shamir) remarketed some of this data to the Soviets, in return for concessions on Jewish emigration (needed to shore up Israel's weak demographics vis-a-vis the Palis).

If the Israelis want him that badly, they should be prepared to offer us something of equivalent value from their Russian pals' toybox. And thet should be prepared to receive him in pieces.

90% of that material would never have been released to the US Navy (Pollard's employer). Methinks Jack sweetened the descriptions a bit (he's been known to...ahem...well, "enhance" his stories from time to time).

Tell us all about your problems with the world's Jews. Too many, right ?

This type of language is typical of Islamic terrorists and their neoNazi confederates.

...PM and former Stern Gang terrorist Yitzhak Shamir

To be more precise: Yitzhak Yzertinsky was Operations Commander of the Stern Gang from 1942 to 1948. In particular, he planned and executed the murders of Lord Moyne (1944 November 6) and Count Bernadotte (1948 September 17).

You should also mention that he was one of the authors of the infamous von Pfaffen Memorandum of Januaty 1941, in which the Stern Gang offered Adolf Hitler a political and military alliance. In his own words:

The establishment of the historic Jewish state on a national and totalitarian basis, bound by a treaty with the German Reich, would be in the interest of a maintained and strengthened future German position of power in the Near East.

Not a very nice guy.
