The life imprisonment of Jonathan Pollard for spying for a friendly country is wildly disproportionate to the offense committed (an offense for which non-Jews spying for other countries routinely receive a slap on the wrist). Pollard is being made an example of by anti-Israel Rockefeller Republicans like Caspar Weinberger for the dreaded "dual loyalty."

However, I'm afraid that the release of Pollard by the Obama administration will be used as a cover for its anti-Jewish, anti-Israel positions and to build up a sense of obligation among Jews to support it. This doesn't mean that the release shouldn't occur; merely that it is a cynical ploy being done for political reasons. Needless to say, I wish it had been a Republican administration that had done this.

Pollard's life sentence was NOT a sentence of life without parole. He was eligible for parole ten years after his sentence began, but he has never applied for parole.

It was a Republican administration that did this in the first place. You do remember Reagan?

I agree with that. Based on what I know about his offenses, he should have been executed after torture for information.

The line about Pollard "spying for a friendly country" is complete nonsense, and completely discredits Pollard's supporters.

Pollard wasn't spying for a "friendly country." The information he stole was passed to the Soviet Union.
