Why not go ahead and make the point that Jews are outside "western civilization?"
I pointed out, as have others, that the information he provided was going straight to the Soviet Union in exchange for immigrants, almost certainly with Pollard's full knowledge. Complaining that Pollard was a victim of anti-Semitism in view of these facts (and the fact that he was rightly put away under the watch of the Reagan administration, which was mostly sympathetic towards Israel) sounds awfully similar to rapists and murderers serving life sentences or on death row who claim to be victims of "racism." Those who want to make a hero and martyr of Pollard do little service to their cause.
