I'm not calling Israel shameless. I'm calling the coterie of Pollard's supporters, some within the Israeli government who are simply placating a vocal constituency, and some Americans who don't have the same excuse, shameless. Sharon and his predecessors, and those who will come after Sharon

So in other words, without all the twists, you're calling Israel shameless?

Nice selective quote-snipping, son.

wimpycat's point was that the Israelis have every legitimate reason to push for Pollard's release; he WAS one of theirs, after all--but that the Americans who push for Pollard's release have NO legitimate reason for doing so.
