Israel hopes spy Jonathan Pollard can emigrate for US embassy opening
Agence France-Presse ^ | 30 Apr 2018 | Agence France-Presse

Israel hopes Jonathan Pollard, an American spy who served 30 years in prison for selling secrets to the Jewish state, will be allowed to emigrate there as the US moves its embassy to Jerusalem, a minister said on Monday.

"I hope that President Donald Trump will offer another gift to Israelis by allowing Jonathan Pollard to come and celebrate the opening of the American embassy in Jerusalem," Israel's Transport and Intelligence Minister Yisrael Katz told army radio.

"I hope that President Trump will agree to that request with Jonathan Pollard having spent so many years in prison."

The United States is due to open its Jerusalem embassy on May 14 in a controversial move that coincides with the 70th anniversary of Israel's founding.

Pollard was released from prison in November 2015 after three decades in jail. He was given a five-year probation period during which he is not allowed to travel outside the United States.

Israel, which had long deemed his punishment unreasonable, welcomed his release.

The 63-year-old was granted Israeli citizenship in 1995 and his family says he wants to settle in Israel.

“Home”? That son of a bitch is from Texas. He’s never even been to Israel. Israel became “home” so that he could use the Israeli lobby in the US, to fund and press for his release. He should have been executed after his trial. I don’t give a crap if he was spying for the UK or Germany or Iran, it’s treason.

I'm assuming you're about 13 years old and you're posting from Mommy's computer.

He probably has framed poster-size pictures of Aldrich Ames, Robert Hanssen, and Julius Rosenberg on his bedroom wall ...

Marvin, don’t you believe the law should equally apply to everyone regardless of religion or ancestry?

I always thought he was a villain.

Then I got a look at the Deep State swamp creatures who make up the majority of our intel agencies.

Now I think they’re BOTH villains.

I've read that Pollard's treachery cost the US $5 billion in technology/satellite changes, and that the intelligence he stole ended up in the hands of Russia due to a mole in the Israeli defense department.

He's no hero and no ally.

Pollard should have been executed decades ago.

He did the time, Mr. President. Ignore the sons of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union—a very small but noisy peanut gallery. It would literally be a sin to stop him from going home.

Northmountains REEKS of Jew Hate.””

Yeah, that’s it Marvin it has nothing to do with this traitorous scumbag. He should have been executed. We can see where your sympathies reside. I suppose you also defend the Rosenbergs and maybe the murder of 37 US citizen sailors on the USS Liberty.

"They are not an ally Marvin."

Israel is America's favorite ally, and you're not going to change that.

Rainy.

Unlike the other Pollard-supporting poster you addressed, I can’t say I have great love for Pollard. He was a spy (albeit for legitimate, not anti-American, reasons). In fact, you could argue he was a spy for the correct part of American politics.

Still, he was a spy. He was a liar. And he got caught.

Happened in Israel with spies for Obama. They just got sent home.

There was a deal for sentencing that the judge abrogated after ex parte communications the defense could not rebut.

And he’s spent much more time in prison than others for comparable crimes.

So, yes, I do believe the guilty man (and he is guilty) has paid his debt and should be allowed to go to Israel.
