Some people in this country and on FR seem to think U.S. and Israeli intersts are the same thing, but they are not. It is insulting the way Israel has acted as if we have wronged them by arresting this traitor. Pollard should be thankful he wasn't executed like countless other spies captured by America in the past.

Of course no foreign country's interests can ever be completely aligned with that of another. If they were, then they would be the same country, but historically Israel has the best record of voting with the U.S.(in the U.N.) If any country is basically on the same page as the U.S., then it is Israel.

As to Mr. Pollard, you seem to think that all of Israel is demanding special treatment for him. Many convicted spies and traitors have not been executed, and many spies have not recieved life sentences. Many have actually had their sentence reduced.

Whatever the role of israel in us foreign policy, using UN voting as a basis for any sort of judgement of israeli intentions is dubious, to use a mild term.
