Dear Mrs Pollard. The bracha (blessing) we say 3x a day in the Amida (main section of the daily prayers) "HaShiva Shoftenu Kevarishona....Vehasser mimenu yagon vaanacha" (Bring back the honest judges we once had....and remove all the heartache that a corrupt justice system brings) is a bracha that the shameless Supreme Court of Israel encourages us to say will all our might. It is well known that the corrupt and dishonest judges will be the first to be punished when Mashiach comes because injustice is so abhorrent to HaShem. When we see it, it won't be a day to soon.

...if you can't do the time."

Well, he betrayed his country, and then the consumers of the info betrayed him back. Life sucks, no? There is no honor among thieves...

granting this SPY such highly regarded status would only make Jews outside of Israel more of a target for hate then we already are, Pollard got caught, oh well . Rule # 1. you don't shit where you eat! Rule #2. See Rule #1. now before the hate mail commith. I do think America should have shared the data Pollard took, but he should not have done the spy thing. he made it so many American Jews couldn't get a fed job if the Prez. wanted to give it.

Please see a professional! you are flying way too high for even Israel

How dare you drag the names of state heros though the dung pile your husband caused! you try to lift him up to the level of Eli Cohen, Chana Senesh and Sarah Abramson, who went against our enamies. your husband went against our greatest ally! big differance, now get back into that gutter you tried to lift him from

Esther's self righteous manner along with her inaccurate comparisons are distasteful and offensive. Let us then imagine how distasteful and offensive Trimbobler's manner and inaccurate comparison's will be when she starts writing her trash! Y-Net! where r your standards?

Pollard is a hero of the Jewish people and he is a prisioner of Zion, if Israel swaps arabs of the hizbolla for dead bodies they can do much better for a living hero like Mr. Pollard the U.S must be pressured any further withdrawl has to come with Pollards liberation

Jonathen Pollard is a Prisoner of Zion. If he were a Catholic who spied for France, would he still be in prison? No. If he were a Moslem who spied for Egypt, would he still be in prison? No. But he is a Jew who spied for Israel. The Israeli high court could not declare Pollard a Prisoner of Zion because of political considerations. ( the support Israel has /seeks from the US regarding Iran, the setting of final borders... is too vital).

In this case the United States has acted as if Israel is an enemy not a friend. Bioth Israel and US should be ashamed of the way Pollard has been treated. It will go down in history as a blot on both countries worst than the Dreyfus case.

Sorry for the outrageous comments made by people who have a jewish name but seem to miss a jewish soul

Dreyfus was innocent. Dreyfus was railroaded by virulent anti-Semites, but was eventually exonerated. Pollard was guilty. Pollard was convicted and given a harsh sentence. To say thay the Pollard case is worse than the Dreyfus case is quite an exaggeration, Hilda. See post #12.

Sarah Aaronsohn, not Abramson. It's ironic that Esther Pollard mentions her with the wrong family name.

you forgot to read the rules! I posted them you ignored them. if you live in America you live under American law plane and simple. Hell Pollard is lucky he is in an american Prison. if it was any other country he would be dead... (Look how Israel is treating Vannunu. Tthe SAME!!

Served USN. a short time didn't like it much got a lot of heat cause I'm a Jew! Served IDF for 10 years Keva and then reserves till late last year.. (went to Israel at my on expence . Not your expence etc. and you may find my blood on almost every field there and in beruit etc. Jewish soul? what have you done for Israel and it's people?

That the Iranians are a bunch of a$$holes. It was such a state secret---that we had to put Pollard in jail for the rest of his life. With friends like that, in the United States-----who needs enemies? Besides---now that the secret is out----shouldn't we arrest the whole world? I mean, geez, everyone knows the Iranians are jerks now. We need to build jail cells quick. We wouldn't want anyone to spend one free day out in the world, now that they know our little secret. It's classified you know. Maybe if the United States wasn't being such a bunch of hard asses, Israel wouldn't of gone to extreme measures to get intelligence on Iran in the first place. Israel is such a threat to the United States---Not! We have to throw every Israeli into jail, that reads the national enquirer. They are crafty little Jews, learning about Hitlers secret hiding place, in the Colorado Mountains. Those crafty Jews weren't supposed to know this international secret. That's at least worth 60 years. My God, now no Jews can get a job with the Federal Government. Such Treachery. Maybe the government jerkoffs are a bunch of anti semites! What honorable Jew would want a job with these jerk offs to begin with. They had no problem helping Nazi Scientists after WW2. Hiding war criminals, to get technological secrets, for rockets and every other new device. But oh my God---A lowly Jew steals some information about Iran----and the World is gonna end! Forget about hiding all the Nazi's, We gotta get that Jew. Bury him deep in some Federal Penitentiary. Never let that little Pollard Jew, see the light of day. The United States Government---Hides Nazi's---and throws this guy in jail for what? Looking at some friggen sattelite photos of Iran? What a bunch of friggen hypocrites! Even if Pollard took a dump in his own backyard, The United States could show some compassion for once. He didn't fly a plane into the World Trade Center. He just tried to get information to Israel, to stop the same catastrophe from happening there! Sattelite photo's are a dime a dozen on the internet now. Don't get caught looking at them though. They have plenty of room in a cell next door to Jonathan Pollards.

His sentence was not commensurate with his crime. Spies for sworn enemies of the US have received much more lenient sentences. His sentence seems to have derived from some personal hatred or vendetta against him. Pollard should be released.

Is this the way a friend deals with another to spy on him,,,I'm amazed the US still considers Isreal a friend ,,,hypocracy, hypocracy , hypocracy.

Sharanski was imprisoned for his desire to emigrate to Israel, Pollard - for espionage. Pollard is no Prisoner of Zion. Period.

How many Americans have the PLO (and other Pal terrorist groups) killed?

That they turned a ship full of Jews away from its harbor in WW2. They were shipped back to die in Nazi gas chambers. We've been such good friends, that we don't give intelligence to the Israeli's that will help protect their country. That's why Jews end up here---trying to get information---that a true friend would give them--------in the first place!!! Then we are such good friends----that we put them away for life. Like Jonathan Pollard.

Not in Israel. Sheinbein got 24 years, which means 16 years real time. But before you get angry, think of it this way: Maryland doesn't have to feed him for life, or at least 20 years before the appeals run out and he's put to death. Also, when he's free, he'll be on the streets of Israel, and then, what goes around will come arounc.

It is immoral and cruel that hundreds of Israel's brave POW/MIAs, including Ron Arad, and Pollard in the U.S. are left in prison, betrayed, abandoned and cruelly tortured. At the same time, under intense American pressure, Israel has released THOUSANDS of terrorists from Israeli jails enabling the terrorists to rejoin the religious war against Israel. THE ONLY THING ISRAEL GETS IN RETURN IS A MASSIVE AND DEADLY INCREASE IN TERRORISM. Where are the human rights organizations???

The European Parliament Resolution on Jonathan Pollard September 16, 1993 The European Parliament, 1. noting that Jonathan Pollard, then of the US Navy, was convicted in 1985 of passing classified information to Israel concerning the military activities of Iraq, Syria and other Middle Eastern nations, 2. noting also that the information dealt with the chemical, biological and nuclear arms build- up in these countries and that Pollard considered he had a moral duty to warn Israel of the developing massive threat to its security and to the lives of its people, 3. whereas Pollard has expressed remorse for his action, 4. whereas Pollard, who was not accused of treason, or of intending to harm the US, pleaded guilty under a plea bargain, and was thus convicted and sentenced, without a full trial, to life imprisonment, despite the Government's promise not to seek such a penalty, 5. noting that the sentence imposed on Pollard was grossly disproportionate to those imposed on others by US courts for supplying information to a friendly power (normally from two to four years), 6. shocked that most of Pollard's eight years in prison should have been spent in solitary confinement and underground, 7. astonished that Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger, described by one of his Under-Secretaries for Defense as having had 'an almost visceral dislike of Israel', should have sent a message to the trial judge, one hour before the sentencing hearing, asking for the stiffest possible sentence commensurate with Pollard's 'treasonous' (sic) behavior, 8. noting however that Mr. Weinberger stated recently that he thought it was time that Mr. Pollard should be released; aware that Christian and Jewish organizations throughout the world have pleaded for the harsh sentence of life imprisonment to be commuted and that Judge Steve Williams wrote, in a dissenting opinion to an appellate court finding, that 'the government's conduct in this case resulted in a 'complete miscarriage of justice', 1. Urges the US Administration to commute Pollard's sentence to one of time served and to release him immediately; 2. Calls on EPC to intercede with the US government with this end in view; 3. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission, EPC and the Government of the United States. Voted almost unanimously on 16th September 1993.

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=24659 September 26, 2001 Terror in the U.S. and the Jonathan Pollard case By Larry Dub © 2001 WorldNetDaily.com "... thanks to Jonathan Pollard, Israel was ready with gas masks and sealed rooms when Iraq attacked her during the Gulf War... The usual sentence for spying for an ally is 2-4 years... Indeed, the Government's own Victim Impact Statement (VIS), which was submitted to the court prior to sentencing indicated that Pollard's greatest "sin" was that by giving Israel vital security information which permitted the Jewish state to act in its own defense, he had made Israel "too strong" and thus angered America's "moderate" Arab allies..."

Thanks for your support but please go out anf get a hobby or something. you are not doing more then pissing on the fire 98% of the time and the rest of the time you are just acting strange!

B"H Sadly Pollard stays in prison with collusion of the Israeli authorities. Is that that if he were released that he would become active in Israeli politics, demanding the end to the treatment of ordinary Jews that he received? How would the Supreme Court be able to deal with a proud Jewish party that it could not outlaw, a party that would fight Iraq or any of its true enemies with whatever necessary means when it was beligerant? It just does not fit into the Israeli political mold dictated by the court. That is why Pollard rots in prison. It is convenient for Israel and convenient for the US to keep him rotting there so that Israel can further promote its own suicide and further opress its Jewish population, using "Arab balance" as a pitiful excuse to excise believing Jews.

Pollard caused enormous damage to U.S. national security. He gave Israel top-secret U.S. military intelligence and diplomatic codes; names of nearly 100 U.S. agents in the Mideast, who were then "turned" by Israel; NSA code-breaking techniques and targets; intercepts of foreign communications; and U.S. war-fighting plans for the Mideast. According to CIA sources, Pollard provided Israeli intelligence with names of important American agents inside the former Soviet Union and Russia who had supplied information on East Bloc weapons and war plans. How the agents' names were linked to the secrets they supplied - a major breach of basic intelligence security - remains a mystery. Some of the enormously sensitive secrets stolen by Pollard may have been either sold, or bartered, by Israel to the Soviet Union.
