Set up a video link between the hospital and the cell. Let Pollard say his words that way. After all, that is how our troops had to to it when we were fighting your enemy Sadaam in Iraq. Pollard is entitled to more than our servicemen and women?? NOT A CHANCE!

Pollard was caught on the way to the Chinese embassy. He was going to sell USA secrets to the chinese for a trip for him and his wife out of the USA. He clearly was not doing it for his religion but for money. Pollard accepts life behind bars if his wife and the Israel employee were left out of jail. What is wrong with having this individual keep his word since his oath of loyalty is not worth much. Pollard's actions harmed the united states and he was not even a citizen of Israel. Many died because of his actions so why should he get a break to visit a father on death bed. If my son was a great traitor I would not want to see him so many his father is happy to keep the traitor in jail. The father might be an honorable person which clearly was not passed on to the son.

He is a traitor. He should rot in jail. I don't care if he is Muslim, Jewish, Chinese, Russian, Prussian or Martian. He is an American and our constitution clearly states that we separate religion from State so his religion will not render him a favorite decision he is a traitor. period and end of story. Israel should spend more time trying to get GALIT SHALIT freed.

You should have thought about your dying father before you betrayed your country. You should be American first and Jewish second other wise get the hell out. Oh, before you get too excited, get the hell out when your sentence is served.

Justice will prevail and Pollard will rot in prison where he belongs.

An easier and less expensive way: SKYPE...

All JP is guilty of is loving his people and country. No fairminded person can see otherwise. By keeping a man who is a hero to Jewish people worldwide caged like an animal; Obama shows himself to be the vicious Jew hater that he is. The indifference and even vitriol shown to him just shows that the world has not really moved on since the 1930s in the treatment of the Jewish people. More proof that Jews are not really safe in any country but their own.

Your comment espousing treason in the White House is a good example of why we Americans need to clean ALL "israel-firsters" our of our government, politics, media, banking, ....

Pollard is compared to the plight of the Jews in 1930? Are you kidding me? Pollard was a spy. He stole for Israel, not Jews, ISRAEL! Do you honestly believe that Jews are incapable of wrong? Should all nations automatically release all Jewish prisoners who are in jail for child molestation, for example? What is it with some of you who honestly believe you can walk on water and thus are entitled to special privileges? Put away your Anti-Semite card until time of true Jewish persecution, not incarceration of a spy who just happened to be Jewish.

Pollard's treatment shows Jews have no rights in America.

Pollard's treatment shows spies for Israel have no rights in America. Damn straight!. And for the record, I had access to similar info as Pollard (crypto) in the same time frame. I have no doubt that had I talked to Israel, Russia, Mars, I would still making little rocks out of big rocks at Leavenworth. And I have no doubt that since I an not Jewish, you would have no problem with this. Put away your damned Anti-Semite card. You flash it round so much that you demean the meaning of Antisemitism and also demean the action of the Nazis and all others who have persecuted Jews *solely * for being Jewish.

There is nothing at all sexy about this story. Too much of it is spent on this question of whether he'll be allowed to leave prison. Where's the romance? It's like saltpeter in article form. Shame on you, YNet.
