I pointed out, as have others, that the information he provided was going straight to the Soviet Union in exchange for immigrants, almost certainly with Pollard's full knowledge. Complaining that Pollard was a victim of anti-Semitism in view of these facts (and the fact that he was rightly put away under the watch of the Reagan administration, which was mostly sympathetic towards Israel) sounds awfully similar to rapists and murderers serving life sentences or on death row who claim to be victims of "racism." Those who want to make a hero and martyr of Pollard do little service to their cause.
Are you saying that Israel was not, with us, a common opponent of the USSR? Or that Israel was more unethical than Saudi Arabia or South Korea?

He was put away, in violation of their agreement, by the extremely anti-Israel Cap Weinberger, a Rockefeller liberal who never should have been in the Reagan cabinet.
Is every accusation of anti-Semitism now tainted for you because leftists used to use it? How about by Haman? Would you agree that he was a legitimate anti-Semite? Or perhaps you don't believe he ever existed?
What "facts?" You have brought only allegation and speculation, and you haven't even supported those.
On the other hand, everything you've tried to dismiss is a matter of public record... a very important characteristic when dealing with people who lie for a living.
Bump.
