The interesting feature of Pollard’s imprisonment is the repeated efforts by Israel to get him released. The efforts raises the question Why? Please do not give me the big words; i.e. “Justice.” Several Presidents, even the Degenerate Clinton, refused to release him, Why?
Why would Israel be trying to get his release? Though Pollard acted as a mercenary, he DID pass info to Israel. If they didn’t, they’d have no spies in enemy countries. Do Palis spy for Israel for the love of Israel? No! Either the Israelis have something over them or, it is for money! If they didn’t fight for the release of their spies, they would have very few foreign spies.
“Several Presidents, even the Degenerate Clinton, refused to release him, ...”
Clinton believed that if he released Pollard, it would induce the Israelis to make additional concessions towards a negotiated settlement with the Palestinians. However, Clinton faced the prospect of the resignation of his entire national security team, including the CIA and NSA directors, if he released Pollard. So, in the end he rejected the implicit deal.
