This man was convicted of acts of treason against the United States and is serving time for his crimes. What did this man do for the State of Israel that he should be paid? Nothing. Let's not forget that he went around looking for the highest bidder to pay him for the information he stole from the United States. He caused harm to the security of the United States and he damaged the relationship between Israel and the United States and for this he wants money? Gimme a break!

He was paid when he was doing a job, what does he expect, a pension oooh pppplease...

How is it that everyone forgets how little Johnny wasn't just spying for Israel ? How do they forget that he spied for anyone who would pay him.? How is it Johnny you forget these things as well and how is it you continue to play inocent to all charges? Just make up with your cell mate husband cause that marrage is going to last the longest.

As a Jewish American I see Pollard as a traitor. His actions were not altruistic, he was paid. Therefore let him pay the penalty, he knew the risk. He's just lucky it wasn't 1953, Ethel and Julius Weren't as lucky. They never lived to see their children grow up.

Only AntiSemites can spew so much venom on Pollard. Israel should defend those who defend her. The dark spirit of AntiSemitism seems to spark as reflected from the talkbacks whenever Pollard is mentioned. They did it to Dreyfus in the past and to countless of Jews over the centuries. They are no different than those thugs who continue to terrorize humanity.

Every arguement against Pollard is a lie. He got convicted of passing classified info to an ally and that is it. The CIA which was ripe with soviet spies at the time transferred its crimes to Pollard without any proof. If you are against Pollard you are a liar and that is the only way you can justify his inhumane and cruel sentence.

you present facts which might assist you in defending your chosen cause celebre? It is a well known fact that when the Israeli right starts tossing out personal insults and supercilious comments it is because they know that they don't have a factual leg to stand on! Clearly the two of you TBers 5 & 6 are the latest examples of less than intelligent right wingers. Get over yourselves already Pollard is was and will always be a traitor! He went shopping around for the highest bidder for his intell so that makes him an opportunist traitor and Israel a stupid purchaser! Israel over paid for worthless information and in order to damage its relationship with the USA. It was a stupid decision on the part of Israel but it was treason on the part of Pollard....may he live out his remaining 120 years in jail!

may he never again feel the embrace of a woman... an added benefit of life in prison. He's lucky that he wasn't placed in general population... he could've met bubba or a devotee of the aryan brotherhood.

Look up the charges--Pollard was never convicted of treason--"passing classified info to a friendly country" was the charge against him. ALL the people convicted of similar crimes in the US since Pollard's arrest received sentences of 5-10 years NOT ONE got a life sentence...
