1. Wake up Israel
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.22.13)
Do you want to bend to a politic follower of our deadly enemies? Do you want to leave this Hero alone? Did our beloved mother Sarah ( G-d blesses her memory) bear a long sterilty, for giving birth to a such ungrateful people??
2. Excuse me but Pollard is an american citizen now isn't he?
(12.22.13)
So why an American prison would release an american citizen who spied for a foreign entity?
3. One does wonder the way they carry on, #2
Cameron ,   USA   (12.22.13)
He has been judged, and will continue to pay the full sneak penalty.
4. #1, the clone must be on drugs
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.22.13)
5. 2,3# Pollard is a zionist Jew,thats why.
Nora Tel Aviv   (12.22.13)
And the US is the golbal "Big Brother" of our times.
6. the only way to solve this saga
C   (12.22.13)
israel must arrest american and british spies operating in israel and trade them for pollard. obama himself will never release pollard, a man who is an enemy of muslims.
7. To #2 Anonym
Abu Yussef al Yahudi ,   Bue_Aires-Argentina   (12.22.13)
Simple answer to your malicious question: Pollard should be released because he has more than fulfilled with the punishment that theoretically he deserves by his offence. - And you, Mr Anonymous, DO NEITHER have the bravery to sign your post, NOR post the country where you are!
8. Don't ask, DEMAND. Show you are serious by full cessation of
Blablabla ,   from Jerusalem   (12.22.13)
talks with the PA and cancellation of releasing more terrorists until Pollard is in Israel. When Israel gets SERIOUS we will get what WE WANT.
9. The absurd post at No. 1 ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.22.13)
... is not mine, obviously. My, my, my. The little troll is working overtime.
10. To: No. 3
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.22.13)
The Walker family has been deemed the most damaging spies in the history of the United States. The only one left in prison is Robert Walker. Everyone else has been released. Why aren't you venting your spleen about that?
11. US collects information to damage Israel, Pollard gave
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.22.13)
intelligence about Israel's enemies, no harm intended or done to US.
12. Pollard
Mike ,   Tel Aviv   (12.22.13)
The very fact that Netanyahu and his "government" are even talking about Pollard reveals a serious lack of perception and priorities. Pollard is an AMERICAN CITIZEN, tried in an AMERICAN COURT and convicted by that court to serve a sentence in an AMERICAN JAIL. What has any of that got to do with Netanyahu? Just because the guy is Jewish? So what! And no-one mentions that he tried to spy for South Africa and Pakistan BEFORE Israel, proving that his only "loyalty" was to money.
13. # 12
Ori, ,   Haifa, Israel.   (12.22.13)
Bingo, the man sold himself and his country to the highest bidder. Now its still payback time.
14. Parole.
Mike ,   Seattle WA, USA   (12.22.13)
He is eligible for parole but refuses to apply for it. He insists on a Presidential pardon. He is a spy who committed a crime and needs to apply for parole.
15. To: No. 2
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.22.13)
Matter of degree. There have been far more damaging spies who spent very little time in prison, or no time at all. Nothing Pollard did went against the interests of the United States. He provided very valuable information to Israel about Israel's enemies -- something which the United States is treaty-bound to do, yet consistently does not. The presidential annual "Christmas list" (federal pardons) is due out this week (assuming the president can tear himself away from his golf game). Let's see if he sticks to the usual -- drug dealers, embezzlers, tax cheats and those guilty of insider trading. That's whom he has pardoned in the past.
16. Pollard will be released on 21 Nov 2015
On the Balcony   (12.22.13)
at the end of his sentence and likely not a day sooner.
17. To No 12 - Hate Netanyahu much?
John ,   T-A   (12.22.13)
18. BUT
matan ,   New York   (12.22.13)
But israel and USA are friends and pollard didnt give israel Important Information about USA he is in jail for about Thirty years However russian agents that hand over important information to russia about USA have been Released from prison along time ago
19. If someone has to claim pollard's release
Israel   (12.22.13)
That would be the Americans! An American citizen judged and jailed in an American prison for having spied for a foreign entity. Why Israel is even getting involved? The fact that he served enough time or not would be the judgment of a qualified American jury.
20. @11 Bush's fault. Obama's hands clean.
Miron ,   USA   (12.22.13)
21. #5 sums up the attidue of israel.
Jim ,   USA   (12.22.13)
Because jews are above mere mortal laws. Jews are born with a get out a jail for free card.
22. Netanyahu
Ariel ben Yochanan ,   Kfar Tapuah, Efraim   (12.22.13)
B"H - If Netanyahu's working to bring Pollard home, than he doesn't work well!
23. Sarah of #10
Cameron ,   USA   (12.22.13)
Because no foreign state & "ally" ever elevated that weasel crew to the status of "national hero", and pulled every trick in the book trying to spring them out of their earned caging. Capiche?
24. bs-bibi weak like olmert and livni
alexi   (12.22.13)
bibi is weak, very weak and he cannot bring pollard home because he has no guts to tell obama-release him. he will accept kerry's plan because he is gutless to tell him NO
25. Let the traitor rot
marko ,   Tel Aviv   (12.23.13)
26. #16 On the Balcony
(12.23.13)
You are wrong...Pollard will die in jail where he belongs...
27. Out in 2015
Terry ,   Chicago   (12.23.13)
28. #26 See: Federal Bureau of Prisoners
On the Balcony   (12.24.13)
inmate locator for Jonathan Jay Pollard. Pollard was convicted before changes in federal sentencing laws and is therefore subject to mandatory release on 21 November 2015. Pollard was given a "life" sentence to ensure that he spent 30 years in jail, not that he die there. This inconvenient fact is overlooked by his supporters. I am not a supporter but I am content to see him released after serving his sentence.
29. to 12
Jennie ,   Israel/US   (02.25.14)
Yeah...Just because He is Jewish .... Do you have a problem with this...? Wouldn't you stand up to defend your fellow Christian or Muslim, mike in Tel-Aviv ? You should take your head out of your butt and learn some true facts about Pollard's case,"Mike". Because the sacrifice of Pollard, has saved your life...
30. to 25
Jennie ,   Israel/US   (02.25.14)
Well, the simple fact is, that Jonathan Pollard will be released within a year, Thank G-d... Please keep in mind, that wishes of death on someone, who you know nothing about, are more likely to effect the "sender", then the intended target...
