Allies spy on each other all the time and when caught usually get a slap on the wrist. Pollard's extremely disproportionate sentence is for no other reason than to make him an example for all Jews and their dreaded "dual loyalty."

First of all, Israel is not a US "ally," we do not have any mutual defense agreements with Israel of the sort that we have with NATO nations or with Pacific Rim nations. If they are attacked, we are under no obligation to come to their defense, or vice-versa. So calling them "allies" is disingenuous. Sometimes US and Israeli interests are in alignment, on other times they are not. Foreign policy realists under the Reagan administration (Weinberger, Eagleburger) recognized this.

Secondly, Reagan's defense department made a strong case that Israel was trading US security information to the Soviets in exchange for Jewish immigrants. Pollard was probably well aware of this, so his espionage may as well have been for the Soviets.

It was far worse than that.

The information he sold was to the most sensitive information that could be given to an enemy.

Cap Weinberger, and others testified in secret proceedings as to the depth of this damage done to US national security. In the height of the cold war...the damage was incalculable.

It took several years to reformulate signal and electronic intelligence information.

He received a life sentence for a reason. Yes, some scumbag like Obama, who could care less about US national security, may let him out early...because the multitude of pleading from Secretaries of Defense and Intelligence Directors will mean nothing to a fifth column POS like Obama.

FUP ! And you better go into hiding if you get out.

You're not big on Biblical sentimentalism, are you?

Why not go ahead and make the point that Jews are outside "western civilization?"
