Pollard should have been executed. Pollard spied for others besides Israel, and the information he provided Israel was of no strategic or tactical value to Israel, they traded it to Soviet Union for the release of Soviet Jews. I understand Israel’s motives, but the material revealed had the potential to cause the U.S. grave harm in the event of a war between the U.S. and Russia.

This issue has been misstated. Parole in 30 years was essentially a condition of the life sentence, unless he still presented a threat to the US or violated prison rules.
The card Obama is said to be playing, since the conditions of Pollard's parole require he remain in the US, whether he can move to Israel is in Obama's hands.
