Did the U.S. launch a military campaign against Israel when the Jonathan Pollard espionage story broke?

I was there. It nearly caused a diplomatic break in relations. The friendship between America and Israel was chilled for years. Despite Israel's pleading, we kept Pollard and his wife in jail....him for many years.

Stop the drama. It didn’t change a damn thing in U.S. relations with Israel. They remained one of the largest recipients (if not THE largest) of U.S. foreign aid throughout the entire time the case was being prosecuted and the entire time Pollard was in prison.
