I support Israel. But Pollard is a spy, and should complete his sentence, whatever it is.

[Pharmboy]

Do the crime, do the time. Israel should shut the ef up about Pollard. It is unhelpful.

[Citizen Tom Paine]

This traitor did extreme damage to this country by his actions. He time in prison should be commensurate with the damage which he did.

[Pharmboy]

...and I'll tellya sumpin' else: if Pollard took no money, I would feel differently. This sumb*tch did it for the gelt, not the ideology. Ef him--and his whinin' wifey.

I think it is cruel to give Pollard supporters false hopes by deluding them into thinking that there is even one teency-weency breath of a possibility that Pollard will ever leave his cell in anything other than a coffin. Pollard will die in a U.S. prison, serving out every last day of his sentence, which is life in prison.

[Dr. Frank fan]

Can anyone rationally explain why Israeli politicians care so much about Mr. Pollard? Is it just posturing for domestic consumption, to score political points? But if so then why does the Israeli electorate care about Mr. Pollard?

[Bob J]

"...others convicted of similar crimes have been sentenced to no more than 2-4 years."

This is a lie (shocked?). Pollard did extensive damage to American intelligence assets including helping get a few people murdered. I say let him rot till he's a grease spot on the floor of his cell.

If they cared about Pollard, they could have gotten him out 15 years ago - by extraditing his Mossad paymasters (who paid him to spy on their "ally" and who, in turn, sold his data to our enemies). Instead, they were rewarded with promotions, so let him rot.
