I usually refrain from using the term "Israeli spy" in reference to Pollard. He was born in Texas, raised in the Midwest, and educated at Stanford. He didn't become an Israeli citizen until almost a decade after he was originally prosecuted.

I have to wonder about a nation that grants citizenship to a person who is serving a life sentence in another country.

Maybe the Obama administration is ready to grant U.S. citizenship to every Palestinian in the West Bank -- and in Israeli prisons -- as part of this deal, eh?

1) Agreed. A spy works for his nation, and may sometimes be considered a soldier, by other means. I consider Pollard to be a traitor, hence my harsh opinion, of him. 2) Pollard is a hero in Israel, they are doing what they think they need to, on his behalf. While I care about Israel, The State of Israel is not the 51st State of The U.S. 3)I’m sure the current administration would grant everything that I consider to be sacred, to those who would not be worthy :(
Thanks for your reply.
