"outright lies, misinformation, false dichotomies, moral relativism and a slew of logical fallacies too long to list" You sure are good with dramatic effects, however substantively you have nothing. Either you'd back up all your slogans with hard proof, or admit you have nothing.

You have failed to answer the author's main point: How will you explain the fact that Pollard gets a much, much harsher sentence, than similar or even worse spies on the US? Can you give a convincing answer?

Obama is also guilty of "unbalanced reasoning" when it comes to Israel, so I wouldn't expect him to release Pollard.

Hey Bunnie , whats about Mordehai Vanunu? I can understand Pollard ,but when You are spy and they catch you, maybe you get firing squad, maybe after some years you are free Depends on your luck and american who loves arabs?! something very new for me.In 50 years I didn't saw one

Will you let this Jew, who is serving an immoral life sentence for defending Israel, die? Yes.

they are commie countries this is the u.s. he didnt even hurt the u.s.

Like any cheap tart he did it for money. Thats OK but if you get caught doing what he did you must pay the price. The tart only sold HER body, he sold his country down the drain and should be man enough to realise that he was playing for keeps. Who gives a damn what his religion is , he is a scum bag and a traitor, let him pay the price to the end.

ever let that traitor scum bag out of his little cell. I would even suggest to keep him on life support for ever to discourage further AMERICAN born spy's and also to let the Israeli's know that we don't succumb to foreign pressure.

until the fat ladys sings, SO SHUT UP

The Crew of the USS LIBERTY was pardoned for their espionage, Pollard wasn't So, by your standards it's O.K. for the USA to spy on friend and foe alike, which she has done since the American Revolution

USS LIBERTY was engaged in Espionage on behalf of the USA, they were freed, Polllard was jailed That is very lopsided justice by any standards

USS LIBERTY CREW should be rotting alongside of Pollard in prison They were all quilty of spying Many American's since the time of the American Revolution have also engaged in spying, in & out of uniform If you want a list, just ask, I have it real handy Remember Francis Gary Powers, you should if you served in the AF, he was flying over Russia when he was downed, all because he was spying for the USA

on both Israel & Egypt Since Pollard is in jail, so should the crew of the Liberty

Is there anyone out their holding a gun to you vacous head We'll say as much as want to, you may hold your breath in frustration

In case you didn't know it already, the USS Liberty was spying on Israel & Egypt, relaying their info to assorted American spy agencies in the United States They didn't go to Jail, Pollard shouldn't have either

When the game was up, Pollard fled to the Israeli embassy, but although he was banging on the door, the Israelis refused to let him in. Why was that?

Israel effectively sentenced 24 to death. A stronger penalty than jail time.

It is interesting to note that most of the Pollard bashers are American ? Jews. As I understand it, Pollard was passing information that the US had promised Israel, and then with-held. Of course he was paid - but it is impossible for us to ascertain his true motivation. It just depends who is putting their spin on it. I have heard that he did it for the sake of Israel. Once again, I am forced to ask myself, if American Jews hold their nationality as Americans in higher esteem than they do their identity as Jews?

Maybe they should have just shot him like the Israelis did to Liberty. People like you seem to forget one thing, Israel DOES NOT EXIST if the USA wasn't backing them. The USA does not need Israel and would probably have a much easier job of it in the world if they did not back them. Pollard was AN AMERICAN spying on AMERICA.

Some people want Pollard to die, so they died before Pollard will

CLINTON, THE INFAMOUS ADULTERER DOUBLE CROSSED HIM, THAT'S WHY!! He did everything he possibly could to stop this covert policy and to have the ... His instructions from Israel were to seek refuge in the Israeli embassy in Washington. .... to be double-crossed by Clinton over Pollard for the second time, refused.

you'd think that a country like Israel, who is quite tough on spies itself would understand the US position....But Israel chooses once more to belittle the actions of the man when the fact remains, he spied thus harming his country. Not for ideology, that only came in later. For money.....he deserves what he got. and Israel should really stop embarassing itself.

many times - of late by Biden. True as we all know, he spied and 27 years in prison is enough payback time. I vaguely recall an American fellow by the name of Walker (naval officer) who spied and was released after a much shorter period. Both Israel and the U.S. are to blame. Rafi Eitan for one .....

Very good question. I would also very much like to know that!

He is a criminal. This is the reason bad things happen to the jewish people. They stick together to a fault. I infer from most of these comments that jewish life is more important than any other. Tsk tsk tsk

1. If Pollard acted out of true love for Israel, he should have done it for free and reject any compensation, which he did not. 2. Pollard not just passed informations to a friend and ally, he also exposed means and methods of acquiring intell, which, because he was careless, fell into the hands of the USSR, not exactly a friend. 3. Some want Pollard free and out of the USA, right ? Then why does Israel not allow Mordechai Vaanunu out of the country ? Both are traitors to their own countries, and deserve nothing. 4. Israel wants Jonathan Pollard from the USA ? Then, in exchange, Israel should surrender Aviem Sella to the USA.

stop ????if Polared converted to islam do you think he would not deserve mercy by the jews or the others >> he is a human being paid toomuch in the prison i think he deserve some mercy ... why not ????

It cost him money for transportation, food & general living expenses

And who do you think you are, to sugges about Israel coming "clean" on Pollards case on anything else in the matters of its relations to the US ? Your claim is as primitive and bias, as your your whole perception about Israel...
