The Case of Jonathan Pollard

The case of Jonathan Pollard.

(See here) a Haaretz article that discusses this.

Please note that this article continues to point towards Pollard as being a devout Jew. Let me point out there was nothing devout about this man in his religious observance until his butt ended up in prison.

Before he ended up in prison he was willing to "sell his soul" for a few shekels. After he ended up in prison he suddenly become a devout Jew and attempted to exploit this new devotion with appeals to the truly devout.

Well, as an American, I see Pollard as an example of what it means to be a traitor. No matter what your religion, Americans are expected to remain loyal to Old Glory.

Perhaps the time will come when we will ask Israel to trade the freedom of someone who they are loathe to grant freedom to, like Marwin Barghouti, for the freedom of someone who America is loathe to grant freedom to, like Jonathon Pollard. The time has not yet come.
