As Israel has already stated a few times and in public, Jonathan Pollard worked for Israel and was doing his job under direction from the State of Israel.

Right. First they denied any such link for years. They even initially rejected his request for citizenship when he was first imprisoned. LOL.

Israel was trying to maintain the “cover” for itself in the beginning of this case. It’s like those spy shows on TV - where they say that they will disavow knowledge of you, if you are caught.

WELL ... Israel disavowed knowledge of it - and then later they said that Jonathan Pollard was working directly for the State of Israel.

AND this brings up another issue as to why some of the US officials still try to keep Jonathan Pollard in jail — not for his crime - but in order to punish Israel for denying it in the first place and fooling the USA. The jail sentence has nothing to do with Jonathan Pollard himself.

That’s why his time in jail is so disproportionate — it is a “state to state” conflict and a “punishment” that some officials think they have to IMPOSE ON ISRAEL.
