1. FIRST FREE POLLARD.....
Yeshaya ,   Israel   (03.26.14)
Time ISRAEL got a benefit from these talks... THEN we'll see about the rest. NOT the other way around. NO WAY.
2. The OXFAM - isation of US politics.
Miron ,   USA   (03.26.14)
When you want to do ethnic cleansing, call it charity. Did anyone, except sell outs in some of Israel offices ever asked for any prisoner in US? Sure, mothers are worried. They are mothers... you know. Using international English press for this sort of blackmail puts a big question mark over what the heck to do with US at all.
3. Administration :bad poker players : Pathetic
(03.26.14)
4. Good move
sheik rattle & roll ,   USA   (03.26.14)
Pollard is an American citizen born and raised in America when he was employed by the US government, His religion means nothing to the US or his post conviction Israeli citizenship for the crime of treason. Leave our American citizen alone and let him do his life sentence in peace, Israel is torturing him emotionally by giving him false hopes. America will never release this "American" traitor to a foreign government.
5. my wish
aaron ,   toronto,canada   (03.26.14)
I just wish that one day Israel has information on a terrorist attack on an American city and keeps it to themselves. These DUMB AMERICANS have to learn to show some mercy to an American that made a mistake that didn't hurt the country, even a murderer will be set free before thirty years.
6. GT8 = No quid pro quo: Obama smells
Tarbouche ,   Aswan   (03.26.14)
7. The Americans left it to late to use Pollard
(03.26.14)
as a blackmail tool. He should have been released 20 years ago. And he should be released now with no preconditions.
8. No Plans to Free Pollard
Rafi ,   Merkaz, Israel   (03.26.14)
Good. Keep it that way. He's an American traitor - not an Israeli. We don't need to bring him over here to a hero's welcome and then support him for the rest of his life. He betrayed his homeland and now he's paying for it.
9. 4.
Birdi ,   Israel   (03.26.14)
My wish is for you never to post another talk back on this forum. Your hated opinions are futile, go fish out the dirt in your own back yard.
10. So let the the worthless talks break down...who cares?
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.26.14)
America is on it's way out as a nation anyway.
11. #9
Rafi ,   Tel-Aviv, Israel   (03.26.14)
Think rationally , not emotionally. The spy got what a spy deserves.He was financially motivated and sold his country down the drain. If he was an idealist and did it for nothing then perhaps that a bit better, but he still sold his own people down the drain.If you can do the crime , be prepared to do the time, thats the rules and everybody should know that beforehand.
12. #8
Patriot ,   Tel aviv   (03.26.14)
The people like you should move to US and live there
13. 9.
Birdi ,   Israel   (03.26.14)
No emotions involved here on my part. Pollard has served enough time. There is more to this ( keeping Pollard locked up) than meets the eye.
14. 12.
Birdi ,   Israel   (03.26.14)
Agreed!
15. #12 and #14
Rafi ,   Merkaz, Israel   (03.26.14)
Pollard was after money - nothing more, nothing less. He betrayed his own country and my tax shekels don't need to support someone like that. We have enough homegrown crooks over here without bringing in more. I don't think he's ever stepped foot in Israel (although I'm not sure on that one).
16. Pollard,
happysettler   (03.26.14)
We understand and we also have absolutely NO PLANS to give the Palis a state now or any time in the future. Let them start looking across the Jordan for a piece of dirt to pitch their miserable tents.
17. #9 Biiiiiiiiiiirdi
Harold ,   USA   (03.26.14)
#4 is right. This is an American case and try not put your nose in every international Sh-t.
18. Of all the things to worry about...
TaylorT ,   Earth   (03.26.14)
...only the most pathetic, mentally-unstable worry about Pollard. But please keep the stupidity coming. It will speed up the process of America dumping you perennial losers and you having to face humanity's wrath. I once gave a range of 10-20 years for Israeli stupidity to catch up with them and make their nation go bye-bye. More threads like this will push the number closer to ten. Just like old times, eh?
19. Anti-Semites
ex-frummie ,   Johannesburg S.A.   (03.26.14)
I see the dregs of the earth love to troll Jewish news sites and spew their venom.
20. #8,11 Pollard never spied on America, only on Muslim enemies
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.26.14)
21. Harold
Birdi ,   Israel   (03.26.14)
Pollard is a Jew, an Israeli citizen as well. We will continue to protect our own, & stand up for our own,wherever they may be.
22. The real traitors
Hanan ,   FL, USA   (03.26.14)
will release Arabs with blood on their hands while America will continue holding the Kike on trumped up charges whose details were never made public. History is a continuation. This Time Dreyfus doesn't get released.
23. #10, is mine. I wholeheartedly approve the comment.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.26.14)
24. 16.
Birdi ,   Israel   (03.26.14)
Lol. Yay & good luck to all the settlers. You have my full support. (Continue being happy & safe)
25. 18.
Birdi ,   Israel   (03.26.14)
Dummy that you are, your prognosis will never come true. Wont even begin to explain why. Thou art too far gone, lacking all brain cells! Such a shame!
26. To: No. 17
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.26.14)
In that case, get your nose out of Israel's settlement building in Judea and Samaria, nonsovereign territories which were reacquired by Israel in the course of fighting a defensive war against Jordan. And don't tell us to make good-will gestures in the form of releases from prisons of mass murderers, either. Got it, sluggo?
27. #18 taylor t ( prediction)
arne ,   chicago usa   (03.26.14)
when did you make your prediction so that we can prepare for the end?a 10 to 20 yr spread doesn't really tell me a lot--please be more specific.
28. Ridiculous!!!
sealadaigh ,   USA   (03.26.14)
what an obtuse, unthinking people israelis must be. let's figure this out. israelis are negotiaating (or so they claim) with the palestinians, not the USA. we are there basically to facilitate and mediate. what right in the world do you have to try to impose comditions on my country and disrupt our system of jurisprudence. such a move would betray any perceived neutrality on the matter of peace that we may still have. and you call us your ally??? you are not fooling anyone at all.
29. To: No. 15
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.26.14)
Get your facts straight. Pollard spied for ideological reasons, and only because he became aware that the United States was providing naval intelligence to Israel's enemies in contravention of a number of agreements between the United States and Israel. Not a single American asset died because of what was revealed to the Israelis by Jonathan Pollard. Moreover, Pollard never took a single dime, nor did he take any precious gemstones. Those fabrications were lifted wholesale out of the damage assessment report that was crafted by -- wait for it -- none other than Aldrich Ames. Recognize the name? Most Americans do. In other words, the fix was in from the get-go, and none other than George Shultz (not the world's biggest fan of the State of Israel or of the Jewish people) has called the continued incarceration of Jonathan Pollard a gross miscarriage of justice.
30. #27, We?
TaylorT ,   Earth   (03.26.14)
You claim to live in Chicago so you should be quite safe when Israel and various other theocracies go up in smoke. But, I'm game, let's start the clock ticking: if Israel continues acting the way it does then it will be glass by 2030. When you have only one ally and you spend an inordinate amount of time attacking that ally, it really is only a matter of time before that ally stops protecting you and then those who REALLY hate you are emboldened. You can't keep nukes out of their hands forever. And Tel Aviv will be ground zero when they get one. But you'll be safe, don't worry.
