Yes he did. He didn’t have Israeli citizenship at that time because that would blow his cover. He wouldn’t have been a very good Mossad agent if he let the cat out of the bag .... :-) ...
AND ... you do know that ALL JEWS IN THE USA qualify for Israeli citizenship - no matter where they were born or no matter what their prior citizenship is.
After it got out and after Israel made the public statement that Jonathan Pollard was definitely working for the State of Israel and under their control - they then conferred Israeli citizenship upon him.
And do you think Pollard should be released?
This is Exhibit A to support the argument that every anti-Semite in the U.S. would make to keep Jewish Americans out of positions of power in the U.S.
Of course, so many of these @ssholes have a way of trotting out this "Israeli citizen" thing only when they are facing trouble with the U.S. legal system. See "Crazy Eddie" Antar (tax evasion and securities fraud) and Samuel Sheinbein (murdered and dismembered a classmate in suburban Maryland) for examples of this.
