American who spied for Israel says he met Ambassador Mike Huckabee to 'thank' him for his support

Convicted Israeli spy Jonathan J. Pollard downplayed the controversy around his private meeting with U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, telling NBC News the visit was “personal” and “wasn’t done surreptitiously.”

The “main point” of the meeting at the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem in July, Pollard said, was to “thank” the ambassador for “his efforts on my behalf during my incarceration.”

Pollard, a former American intelligence analyst, spent 30 years in prison on espionage charges after being found to have passed critical security documents to Israeli intelligence in the 1980s. Israel made Pollard a citizen during his lengthy prison term, and he moved there in 2020, five years after his release on probation.

Why did Huckabee meet with this traitor?

You can evaluate Huckabee’s motives for yourself.

[HYPOCRACY]

What about all the traitors in congress? Can we throw some of them in prison for thirty years too? They can get Chinese citizenship while in prison.

[A strike]

“Israel made Pollard a citizen during his lengthy prison term,”

How’s that work, and for why ?

Could/can the US grant citizenship to USSR or CCP prisoners, or anyone on the planet, and then exert pressure on that basis ?

Pollard says he spied only b/c he "loved Israel."
But his then-wife ---above---took expensive jewelry in the "ideological spying" caper.

Convicted Spy Jonathan Pollard was honored in Israel when released from prison. Pollard gave the main address at his gala, in which he accused the U.S. government of anti-Semitism, termed the U.S State Department and the United Nations enemies of Israel.” Jonathan Pollard worked as an intelligence analyst for the U.S. Navy. He was hired by the Navy Field Operational Intelligence Office in 1979 and was later arrested in 1985 for selling classified U.S. documents to Israel.

Pollard worked for the U.S. Navy from September 1979 until his arrest on November 21, 1985. He was an intelligence analyst tasked with working on Soviet issues at the Navy Ocean Surveillance Information Center.

Pollard’s Espionage: While employed by the Navy, he began passing classified information to Israel and was sentenced to life in prison for espionage. He was paroled in 2015.

Not a good look and very inappropriate for this traitor to be welcomed by an American ambassador. IMHO this dampens American support for Israel.

Rep. Clarence D. Long Jr. (D) of Maryland, then-chairman of the foreign operations sub-committee of the House Appropriations Committee, was ‘’one of Israel’s most powerful friends.’’

Thirty percent of the members of Long’s subcommittee-—— which first considers aid to Israel-—— are Jewish and the rest come from constituencies where Jewish voters are important. Mr. Long himself gets some 75 percent of his campaign funds from pro-Israel political-action committees or Jewish supporters.

Clarence Long became Chairman of the Congressional subcommittee on Foreign Operations of the House Appropriations Committee. In this role he supervised the foreign aid budget which gives billions of tax dollars to Israel.

Long was defeated for re-election by Republican Helen Delich Bentley in 1984, the same year he colluded with the annoying Israeli lobby AIPAC to put the US Treasury——and your tax dollars—— at the disposal of Israel.

Jews are considered too few in number for polling; because they make up a small percentage of the US population, standard national polls often use extraordinary methods to ensure adequate representation which makes it appear Jews are numerous when Congressional funding issues loom.

Here is how polling on the Jewish population works:

Overall Population Size: The total U.S. Jewish population is insignificant .......a small fraction of the overall U.S. population.......it is too small a number to study with proper methodology.

Specialized Polling: Major research organizations, such as the American Jewish Population Project at Brandeis University, conduct targeted surveys specifically to analyze Jewish Americans’ views and demographics.

Methodology: To get statistically significant results for a smaller demographic like Jews, pollsters use techniques like:

Oversampling: Including using a larger number of Jewish individuals in a survey sample than would occur by pure random chance, and then weighting the results back to their correct proportion in the overall population for national estimates.

Targeted Sampling: Using commercial lists or focusing on geographic areas (such as specific counties in New York, Florida, or Pennsylvania) where large Jewish populations reside to reach potential respondents.

Political Significance: The Jewish vote is considered insignificant in U.S. politics, particularly in swing states or districts with unseemly high Jewish populations, but Jews high voter registration and turnout rates and voting patterns leaning Democratic, have nuances across different Jewish subgroups, making their vote an area of analysis for funding and political strategies.

While they are a tiny minority group, the Jewish population is routinely polled using extra-extraordinary statistical methods to get their opinions and voting behavior

Personally, I think he should still be in jail. That doesn’t mean I agree with the progressives and them against Israel.

Note: Biden and the Democrats are OK with arming foreign countries but grabbing guns from Americans is an obsession w/ them. The same lefties that gleefully trample 2A rights, are hell bent on supplying weapons to foreign countries.

Not content w/ the mega billions already in his pocket, after a visit w/ Netanyahu, Zelensky says
he wants US tax dollars to Ukraine “according to the Israeli model”......here’s what he means:

Read:Congressional Research Service
US Foreign aid to Israel
60 page detailed report
https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/RL/RL33222/44

The concerned Israeli lobby made sure Congress is required by law to ensure that U.S. military aid in the Middle East region doesn’t damage Israel’s military superiority over its neighbors. That requirement enjoys broad bipartisan support and has served as a benchmark for ensuring Israel receives robust U.S. support.

Biden keeps gaslighting Americans about the “need” for
American foreign aid tax dollars to Ukraine and Israel.
Here’s why they DONT need it:

About $113.1 billion in tax dollars were authorized in 2022 for Ukraine, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. Most of it–about $67.1 billion–was defense-related. The other $46 billion included:
<><>$26.9 billion for economic support;
<><>$7.9 billion for international disaster assistance;
<><>$6.6 billion in assistance for refugees;
<><>$1.5 billion for assistance for Europe, Eurasia and Central Asia;
<><>plus $3.1 billion for other non-defense spending.

US tax dollars helped Ukraine
<><>pay the salaries of 618,000 educators, 517,000 health workers, and 56,500 first responders
<><>helped sustain critical healthcare services,
<><>helped meet pension responsibilities for 9.8 million people,
<><>assisted 1.3 million internally displaced persons,
<><>provided housing assistance to 4.1 million people,
<><>provided social assistance to 240,000 low-income families
<><>helped subsidize 480,000 persons with disabilities,
<><>bought supplies for farmers,
<><>financed finding markets for small business.

This is what we have to look forward to w/ Ukraine

Backstory: Since 1973, Israel has received more than $120 billion US tax
dollars in MILITARY assistance alone, including “three special aid” packages.
<><>billions for signing the Israel-Egypt peace treaty
<><>billions for Israel’s withdrawal from the Sinai.
<><>billions for redeployment of Israeli forces
<><>rebuilding Israeli air bases in the Negev cost $5 billion.

Besides weaponry, Israel also receives economic and humanitarian foreign aid, which supports broad economic development and sociopolitical stability and can include non-military support related to the country’s pressing security needs.

Military aid from US taxpayers has blanketed wealthy, high income Israel. They have more than enough US resources to nail Hamas and Hezbollah. Wealthy Israel has very low debt, and had a budget surplus, while the US is $33 trillion in debt, a debt which future generations are saddled with.

[cowboyusa]

🤬🤬HANG HIM!

[Third Person]

this is it, they finally nailed Trump!

[Alberta's Child]

That kind of arrangement is precisely what feeds the claim that every Jewish person in the U.S. government is a “dual citizen.”

[jimwatx]

Huckabee should resign or be fired.

[mrmeyer]

Yep

[irishjuggler]

“Why did Huckabee meet with this traitor?”

If you come at it from the angle that you’re literally doing God’s work—and what the Bible commands you to do— by helping Israel, I assume that trumps any sort of anti-espionage laws. In my opinion, that’s a very dangerous, misguided mentality, but it’s also a very real way of thinking among some of most zealous members of Israel’s Evangelical “amen corner.”

[Captainpaintball]

He is a terminal scofield bible believing christocuck fat old f---. I lost all respect for him. He needs to resign. NOW. Or The Stable Genius needs to beg bibi for permission to FIRE him.

Clinton toyed with freeing Pollard, but the ENTIRE intelligence community threatened to resign in protest.

Pollard, that P.O.S., was just recently recorded saying Israel (oUr gReaTesT aLLy!) should NUKE the US!!!

Mike Cuckabee is a disgrace.

[Bob Wills is still the king]

Pollard should have been executed for espionage and treason.
