1. Pollard is a principled man
CJK   (04.01.14)
he will not accept freedom at the price of blackmail by terrorists.
2. Pollard is a traitor, he's not in a position to preach
Lynx ,   Palestine   (04.01.14)
Besides, the prisoners are POW and freedom fighters not terrorists.
3. Why #2 do you live in Palestine?
Celia ,   Middle Israel   (04.01.14)
Is it because people there live free? Have free speech? Freedom of religion? Women have rights? You just want to make your life miserable by removing the entity that is keeping your life out of the Dark Ages? Good luck with that! Swine!
4. Pollard is about to be released in 2015 anyhow
Chaim ,   Israel   (04.01.14)
The Zionists had political reasons for keeping him behind bars, why suddenly, in order to please Hussein Obama, do they want to exchange his release with terrorists murderers?
5. Why demand the release of TERRORISTS if the goal is PEACE???
Let's be honest ,   AMERICA   (04.01.14)
Obviously neither Abbas or Kerry or Obama really see peace as the goal here.
6. Another criminal for the far right
Miri   (04.01.14)
Naturally a traitor is a hero for the far right
7. Kol hakavod to Pollard!
Raoul ,   Israel   (04.01.14)
This shows the sort of person he really is.
8. SHAMEFUL DEAL
Robert ,   Israel   (04.01.14)
If what Pollard said is true, WHAT A LESSON HE GAVE US ALL.
9. To: No. 2
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.01.14)
Mind telling me how someone who blows up a restaurant or a bus qualifies as a "freedom fighter" as opposed to a murderous terrorist? You are nothing short of disgusting. We will never allow people such as yourself to live in our midst. You can go to Jordan and live with a whole bunch of "freedom fighters." Someday, they might decide, falsely, that they covet your home and your land; the home and land you worked so tirelessly to build and cultivate. Then, your neighbor will cheerfully decide that he is going to defy international law and convention and blow up a bus your parents or your child or your brother is innocently riding on. How will you feel about that "freedom fighter" then? You should have taken the deal in 1947. But you didn't. The rest, as they say, is history. No one is going to fix your mistakes, and you cannot put toothpaste back into the tube.
10. POLLARD IS THE ONLY REAL JEWISH HERO !
Frederic   (04.01.14)
I am astonished by his courage ! This man is an absolute example !
11. Good for Pollard
k ,   US   (04.01.14)
I have alot of respect for him, I am sure all the anti semites and the anti Israel people are hoping he is freed, so they can go into their rantings about Israel and the Jews
12. As if the caged weasel has any say in his final fate!
Cameron ,   USA   (04.01.14)
Fat boy will tread in his cage, and take his chances with the parole hearing next year.
13. Extend peace talk for nothing
Ted   (04.01.14)
Both parties and American Kerry should just forget the peace. It is a mistake.
14. Pollard have no high moral
Dov ben David ,   Eilat, Israel   (04.01.14)
He spied for Israel and betrayed his country. That is not a sign of a high moral. He should just thank God that he is exchanged!
15. A Saint ??
Abe Benjamin ,   Migdal Ha Emek Israe   (04.01.14)
Pollard did what he did for $$$$s and lets not forget that. Bring him here to Israel , no problem, but stop making him out to be a super hero. He got paid for his efforts, and got caught,so he wasnt too bright. There are many heros who have fought in our wars and now find themselves homeless or 'al hapanim ' ,, they deserve our help without restrictions. Pollard deserves a pat on the back and his cell cleared for him to continue living.
16. Realpolitic
Zechariah   (04.01.14)
Sometimes policies are creative and Idealistic but Realpolitic Operates .Especially in the Thermonuclear world Morality is limited .Both the Jewish and Arab nations know its a Truce at best .
17. Israel Deserves Pollard
World Citizen ,   the world   (04.01.14)
He was/is a thief and liar. He will feel right at home among a nation just like him.
18. G-d bless you Pollard
Israel Winicki ,   Beer Sheba-Israel   (04.01.14)
I´m proud that in my people there is somebody like you. G-d bless you
19. Any deal to free Pollard would be "shameful"
Josh ,   USA   (04.01.14)
Now some of the idiots are starting to get it. Somebody please outline a realistic scenario where Pollard is freed without Israel giving up Jerusalem or freeing terrorists. You can't do it! Pollard should never be freed and nobody should ask for it.
20. Pollard...The Palestinians also should Oppose..
Hamad ,   Tulkarm -Palestine   (04.01.14)
How can you EQUATE such such a Traitor to Freedom Fighters... Pollard is lucky to have escaped EXECUTION.... Watch him come over here and become another Bennette living in a house in a settlement .
21. Of course he does not want to leave prison with all the bene
Rivkah   (04.01.14)
benefits there: free medical, free dental, free food, free lodging, lots of sympathy and prayers from people who believe in him, doesn't have to work. Why go out into the world why he will have to pay his own way? Being a leech on the system is so much easier.
22. #20
Rod ,   Fargo N.Dakota   (04.01.14)
First he was never traitor and wasn't prosecuted as a traitor.You have to be spying for an enemy country during time of war.
23. #21
Steve   (04.01.14)
Your lack of intelligence is truly breath taking!
24. Pollard is the mark of a Mench.
BUTSeriously ,   Sydney   (04.01.14)
25. #12 Cameron and you're a keyboard warrior
Rod ,   Fargo N.Dakota   (04.01.14)
Easy for a punk like you to talk tough over the internet.Maybe you're a fatboy or maybe you're a diminutive runt.Yea you are.
26. #2 I do not know what you are smoking
michael   (04.01.14)
but it must be good. Could you share it with everyone else
27. Born Killers
Steve   (04.01.14)
As a boy I had a neighbor who had served in the French underground during WW2. He and his unit blew up many Nazi trains and greatly disrupted their supply lines. These men were freedom fighters. Your heroes are simply vile and cowardly sociopaths who kill for pleasure. There is no military value to their "operations", just cold blooded mass murder.
28. #21 Sheikh Rattle and Roll
(04.01.14)
Nice try, but you aren't the real Rivkah, . Your style shows, and her style is inimitable.
29. #17 what planet are you living on?
Michael   (04.01.14)
World citizen all 191 nations do not lie to kill and do not steal?! Really?! I think you show go into comedy. I totally disagree with you calling him a liar and I do take offense that Jews are thieves and liars.
30. no 2
LION OF JUDAH ,   JUDAH THE LION   (04.01.14)
