1. Waste fo Time
Phillip ,   Brooklyn USA   (11.03.08)
They can meet all they want..... Jonathan Pollard is an American serving his sentence in an American prison. I can understand how the father feels. But the courts have given out a just sentence. Case Closed
2. J. Pollard will eventually go crazy because
Erastus CoupeDeVille ,   Ong's Hat, NJ   (11.03.08)
the longer he's locked up, the more he'll realize that there is no hope of release. Stop wasting your time with this convict.
3. A disgrace
ofer ,   israel   (11.03.08)
israel should be ashamed that he isstill in jail. And Peres and Rafi Eitan should be put on trial for selling him out.
4. He spied - he got caught - end of story.
Talula ,   Israel   (11.03.08)
He knew what he was doing. He knew the consequences of his actions. He went ahead and did it. Now he's sending everyone on a guilt trip.
5. Welcome Home, Yehonatan
Simcha ,   Jerusalem   (11.03.08)
He is coming home...and soon! America will pay dearly for the injustice perpetrated on a Son of Israel.
6. Talula - Titbayshi! He spied to save your skin & that's how
Wanda   (11.03.08)
you thank him? I'm surprised at you!
7. Pollard is a traitor. He should never taste freedom again.
Jared ,   New York, USA   (11.03.08)
8. If Pollard was...
(11.03.08)
A hezbollah, he would have been freed by now.
9. reply to #3 Ofer
David Boehm ,   USA   (11.03.08)
The U.S is not of Israeli. He broke American law and he will pay for his crime. Its about time American Jews realize that America comes first.
10.  #5 Simcha
David Boehm ,   USA   (11.03.08)
Hey Simcha, have you been smoking funny stuff? Your testosterone levels are way too high. If we stop bailing you out every time you mess up, Hezbollah would be in your living room today.
11. #4 ... and yet
oferfdesade ,   ISRAEL   (11.03.08)
... you gotta ask yourself what remains hidden here? what other reason can there be for so many administrations to point blank refuse to do somehting even the SOVIETS agreed to do in much worse cases? given that it's more than one adminsitration or party, but a matter of institutional consensus, we cant be talking about pride or ego. it's gotta be something else, especially in view of the iran-nuclear story development... are there any other national traitors who were cought, not executed and kept in jail without parole? what exactly is the story here? (this is not an invite for a journalistic recap).
12. # 3 Do you need to be reminded that he's a traitor
Bill ,   US   (11.03.08)
to your one friend in the world?
13. # 1, Phillip
(11.03.08)
Yes, you may have your angle, but what do we do with so many cases of American spies simply and briefly freed in return for other foreign spies ? In spite of their severity, are these cases different from Pollard's ? Well, I don't think so.
14. Length of sentence
Shalom   (11.03.08)
I am shocked by the venom here. Have a look at the average jail sentence given to spies of ENEMY countries, in the States, and you will see that there is something very wrong here. Jonathan is in jail because Peres and his cohorts want him there - end of story.
15. Pollard gave Israel vital info that was being withheld but
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (11.03.08)
which Israel had a RIGHT to receive. The arab loving scumbags at the US State Dept. were withholding information that affected the security of the State of Israel. He was no traitor to America, he was a hero to Israel and I would take his place any day. Chinese American spies who had stolen defense plans were recently let go without jail, people who HARMED America and helped China but it was politically correct not to keep them in jail while Pollard sits being punished for HELPING Israel without harming America. FREE POLLARD!!!
16. To Those who criticized me
Ofer ,   Israel   (11.03.08)
Pollard is a Jewish patriot who is rotting in the jail of our "ally". I advise all American Jews to open your eyes and see how Bush has sold Israel out to the Iranians thereby endangering 6 million of your fellow Jews in Israel.
17. Divided loyalty
laurence ,   Tustin, CA USA   (11.03.08)
For anti-semites, Pollard's case serves as proof that American Jews can not be trusted. Thank Pollard for elevating the level of srutiny for American Jews who support Israel but are not confused about their identity as an American citizen. Pollard is the kind of Jew that people like Pat Buchanan love: An easy target to validate vile anti-semitism.
18. #15... Bunnie Meyer
Phillip ,   Brooklyn   (11.03.08)
You write that you would take the place of Pollard in prison. Well, first you need to betray your country for money. You may be lucky and have a cell next to this spy/traitor. Best of luck in your wishes to spend the rest of your life in prison.
19. REPLY TO #16 Ofer
David Boehm ,   USA   (11.03.08)
I agree with you here and thats why I will vote for Obama.
20. reply to #15 Bunnie Meyer.
David Boehm ,   USA   (11.03.08)
You are a traitor too. Remember you are American first. I hope our government accepts your proposal to replace Pollard in prison. I hope you will rot there.
21. #12 Traitor
Harry LEVY   (11.05.08)
You need to be reminded of the definition of "traitor", "aiding and abetting an enemy in a time of war". I think your label falls way short.
