1. Between Pollard
Jon ,   UK   (03.12.13)
and the holocaust, this constant, daily whining is becoming very tedious to the World and is counter-productive. Your media is also becoming increasingly self-censored.
2. # 1 - Protesting for Justice is not "whining"
Jake in Jerusalem ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (03.12.13)
Jonathan Pollard was unjustly sentenced. He was convicted of crimes that were later found to have been perpetrated by other American spies. The deal he agreed to with the prosecutors was broken by Caspar Weinberger. Justice demands that Pollard be released. Many prominent Americans agree with me, including senior political and govt figures in the USA. Oh, have you gotten tired of the whining of the so-called "Palestinians"? Everyone ignored Yasser Arafat's invented people in the 1960's so he started killing people everywhere until he got noticed. Or do you think that Palestinian terrorists have legitimate claims but Jews are "whining"?

10. Say what ? ,...
split ,   US   (03.12.13)
The content of your 'attic' isn't exactly a product from the top shelf, is it? ,... Aside that he compromised security of his country, that the cost of the damage to our security costed us billions to fix it, due to his activity dozens upon dozens US intel assets in Soviet block ended up on the end of the rope or against the wall in front of execution squads ,... Get a life,...
11. No.
David G   (03.12.13)
Pollard is a traitor he spied against the United States and sold classified information for money. He is not a "captive" in the Halachic sense, but if Israel wants him so badly I am sure a 6x2x6 plot of land can be arranged when the time is right.
12. Bring Him Home - NOT!
Rafi ,   Tel Aviv   (03.12.13)
He betrayed his own country. He is an American - not an Israeli.
13. #10 slit WTF Are You Talking About?
(03.12.13)
Your arab B.S. is typical, so genius Please Cite Anything You Just Said Which Has Been Substantiated By Your Claims Coming From U.S.A. Military or NSA or FBI or CIA?
14. ASIO should keep an eye on him...
Robert ,   Australia   (03.13.13)
...in Australia in case he tries to get hold of an Australian passport.
15. Gilad, pollard violated the law. You did not
Essie HaKohane ,   Fl. USA   (03.13.13)
I understand your feelings about incarceration, but Pollard did do something illegal. It may have been for a noble cause, but there are consequences. Americans have the right to question his prolonged sentence. It's a wonderful right. Pollard is not a kidnap victim. The american justice system will eventually decide how to handle this case.

(03.13.13)
are you delusional???? such a buch of lies and bs i have never ever heard. your post is insane and completely not based on the truth or any reality. just because you hate jews, any jews, doesn't mean that you are entitled to lie and create your own reality of that matter. you are such a looser it is really abysmal. get a life.
17. # 10 It was believed that Jonathan Pollard
ben   (03.13.13)
cost the lives of many US spies in the Soviet Union but it now the thinking is that it was Alderige Aimes and Robert Hanson. I think number 2 ,s comments are ridiculous I think he [ Jake ] has been reading to much of the free Jonathan pollard website stuff. The Rasin alone was enough to put Pollard away . When Pollard lawyer said at the sentencing ' we don't argue his guilt only that it dosen't warent a life sentence. at that point the jugde called Pollards attorney to approach the bench and pointed to I believe section 6 of wienburgers affadavit. It's been said by officials that was the Rasin. Pollards lawyer sat down and did not say another word the rest of the sentencing. Pollard also broke the plea agreement by talking to the press. I think he even went on 60 minutes before the sentencing. Also as I have pointed out several times here Israel threw Pollard under the bus with their in your face way they treared the FBI when they went to Israel. A sore spot on this board to say the least. considering what I have been called for pointing this out
18. #10 Back up your accusations with credible sources
Expat ,   Adelaide   (03.13.13)
Or admit you're talking rubbish.
19. 10
(03.13.13)
i doubt this issue is any of your business and your opinion on the matter matters little if anything at all. sit tight in your hole and just keep your mouth closed.
20. #15 - Pollard did a bad thing
Daniel ,   na   (03.13.13)
He exposed the entire US administration for what they are - bigots, liars, and hypocrites. Such transgression could not have been forgiven. He is a lesson to all US jews, so he will have to stay in jail.
21. Pollard is STILL guilty.
Mark   (03.13.13)
The US is a nation of laws, not "deals" with any member of any administration. He'll sit there until he goes to Israel, either in a cardboard box or an urn, whichever is cheaper to the US taxpayer, I hope...
22. Pollard is the greatest Jewish hero of the last 50 years
Saul ,   Florida, US   (03.13.13)
His only crime was to be a patriotic jew.
23. Pollard
tom dee ,   Savannah usa   (03.13.13)
Pollard was arrested with top secret information that Pollard wanted to exchange with the Chinese for safe passage for his wife and himself. He never did anything for his religion and he sold secrets to a government official of the nation of Israel. Pollard agreed to spend the rest of his life I. Jailso that his wife and the Israel officials would not vpbe charged. Pollard was never convicted but accepted a deal. Is Israel now willing to turn over the Israel officials and Pollard wife for a possible death sentence? Both are quilty according to pollards agreement, Both shows should be hung for doing such a bad thing to pollards. His wife was part of all his treason. What about a nation so helped by the USA as Israel has been funding a person committing treason. That man was a dual citizen so he was another case why Pollard should have been killed it to keep him from becoming a victim
24. Pollard was a spy
tika ,   SdB, France   (03.13.13)
As a spy, Pollard knew very well the risks involved... I do not think Israel would be lenient on convicted spies either. Also, since Pollard"s actions have caused other spies to lose their freedom (some are still in jail) or even be executed, one could even argue that Pollard is indirectly guilty of several first degree murders.
25. 17 ,...
split ,   US   (03.13.13)
"but it now the thinking is that it was Alderige Aimes and Robert Hanson" That's what the hasbara peddlers want you to believe - On the top of intel human assets loss we had to replace our satellite communication codes, US Navy ship's and sub's propellers to change recognisable sound ID, we lost all the trust, our recruitment of new intel assets took a nose dive. The worst of all was the uncertainty what the Soviets and Israelis know and what they don't, so to be on the safe side we had to replace, recode, retool everything that could compromise our security.
26. Theres a difference though
Mike ,   USA   (03.14.13)
Shalit was a soldier fighting for his country. Pollard is a traitor to his country
27. # 25 I believe I said that in my post the part about Aimes
ben   (03.14.13)
and Hanson is up for debate, but I saiod the Rasin. Possibly the biggest security breach in US history.
