U.S. Spy Seeks Israel's Intervention
JERUSALEM — Jonathan Pollard (), an American imprisoned in the United States for spying for Israel, is seeking to be declared a Prisoner of Zion — a status that would require Israel to do all it can to get him released, his lawyer said Sunday.
Israel (), which has pressed the issue of releasing Pollard with the U.S. government, has so far refused to assign him that status, which was originally created for Jewish activists imprisoned in the Soviet Union in the 1970s and '80s.
Pollard's petition alleges he was kept naked for more than a year in solitary confinement in subzero temperatures. It claims his U.S. jailers also soaked him with ice water, forced him to sleep on a bare concrete slab, and lied to him that the Israeli government had arranged his release.

It's things like this that make me wonder why the US gives Israel so much support.

Thank's. That's probably why I didn't find it when I did a search.

Israel spies on us, we spy on them. Our interests are still aligned otherwise.

The US spies on Israel and arms the ARabs. Israel spied on the US. Welcome to international affairs.
We aid Israel because it is an ally, it gives us leverage over Israel, and because the Israel's do many useful things for us in the region.

The recipient of over $100 billion in US taxpayer support, Israel is in no position to lecture us on the traitor Pollard. He should NEVER be released, period.

"Israel spies on us, we spy on them"
This is true, but it's still very frustrating when they are constantly trying to sell high technology to the Butchers in Beijing.
