The Constitution limits treason to levying war against the U.S., or giving aid and comfort to its enemies. Spying for an enemy during wartime would certainly be treason, but Israel was not our "enemy" and we were not then at war.
I believe that Mr. Pollard was convicted of espionage and not treason.
