If Helen Thomas says it is OK to let him out, then I will go along/s
Pollard — and Israel — violated their express promises to the US to help assess and remedy the damage done to US security by Pollard’s spying for Israel. That is why Pollard was justly found in violation of his plea agreement and is likely to die in prison.
Pollard is a traitor. The Russians were not. Go peddle this junk to a more gullible crowd.
What a whiny post.
I think you’d have more success by having Pollard admit what he did, and possibly show remorse.
Instead we have to listen to whining about how he is somehow mistreated and we are bad people for wanting to fully punish him for spying.
Leave him where he is. I kind of ike the idea of him being in prison, if only to cheer me up just in case I can’t think of the myriad blessings freedom brings to good Americans.
I laugh at his misery. I chuckle at those who hate this country so much that they’d release him - but are unsuccessful in doing so.
He is a spy and should stay in prison.
I really miss old A+Bert, particularly when these Pollard threads pop up. Man, he was entertaining.
He is not a spy. Spies are citizens from one country sent to “spy” on another. He is a traitor which means as stated above, it is none of Israel’s business how the US deals with him. However if you look at this man’s life and the details of his crime, he appears to be a bit of a fool who was taken advantage of by Israeli spies. He honestly does not appear to be very bright. For this reason, even though he is guilty as hell, in the Christian spirit (some irony here perhaps), I feel strongly that the man should be let go and rejoin his family in his remaining years.
No argument there. After I posted that I got to thinking, can I defend it? On any grounds other than a probably misplaced compassion for a fool who made a wrong and evil choice? Well, I can’t. Maybe I wish I could, but I can’t defend it.
Apparently Pollard handed over US cold war defence secrets to Israel, who in turn passed them onto the Soviet Union in exchange for allowing Jews to leave the Soviet Union. The end result seriously compromised the Wests security, I say let him rot.
Amen to that! He and his wife got rich selling out the US, and it wasn’t just to Israel. The secrets he stole ended up with the Chinese and other countries, too. No sympathy for him here.
Why this push to have him released now? Very curious.
It’s hard to recruit new traitors when the old ones are still in jail. This is the real reason he is kept there and the only good reason that the fool should remain held.
Yeah, let him go alright.
From 20’ up with a rope around his neck!
The damage he did could have been catastrophic at time when the US was very close to armed conflict with Russia. Had it not been for the peaceful dissolution of the USSR, Pollard would have cost us a lot of American lives.
He needs to stay in jail.
Nope. He was just pointing out that some anal retentives can't resist putting on a badge and calling out the spelling police. If that is not your meaning then are you trying to cover for Ari's real 'Abe Foxman' bitching of anti-semitism, that something? Shame on you.
'reefdiver's comment was clear:
reefdiver...Pollard is a trader, To the USA None of Israels business
Tzfat...Trader? Sheesh
reefdiver...always one of you - lurking around. Sheesh
Sheesh.
Seriously?
An American citizen selling critical national secrets to anybody - South Africa, Pakistan, Australia (Australia??) - who could give him the dough for his cocaine habit, that’s considered a respectable cause celeb? Whew... This one is pretty disappointing.
Who the hell gives a rat’s ass about that worthless, greedy little weasel Pollard, and why? Please don’t tell me that Pollard is an acceptable cause celeb solely because he’s a Jew. You have to be better than that. You have to be.
FRegards,

Lighten up. It’s called irony
No, it is called baiting. Just like Ari's article.
