Excuse me? It wasn’t enough for you to paint the US as the villain, now you have to come right out and say that’s a fact? And we deserved the treason committed by Pollard because we gave Iraq nuclear weapons, and we allied ourselves with Osama bin Laden?
And you need to quit accusing FReepers of being Jew haters. You are the only one here who gives a crap about the fact that some of Pollard’s treason for hire benefited Israel.
“And we deserved the treason committed by Pollard because we gave Iraq nuclear weapons, and we allied ourselves with Osama bin Laden?”
See, it’s an inconvenient FACT.
It doesn’t justify Pollard.
I continue to point out he served 26 years for a crime he confessed to. It does however give context, that debunks your attempts to demonize him with such curious blood thirst.
I wish he had acted as a whistleblower instead, because yes, these are dark episodes in our nations history. Spying exists. The US engages in intelligence gathering every day. We have satellites pointed at Israel for that very purpose right now. If you persist on framing this as an evil versus good discussion (that’s you doing that), then I suggest you figure out who made the right choice. Gaining the intelligence and bombing Osiraq was the right thing to do.
