yes, pollard should be freed. because he has already served more time than any spy ever served for spying for a hostile country, let alone for a friendly one. that isn't fair. and because he is due for parole next year, so he's getting near his "sell by" date, when america will no longer "get anything" for his release. but the market value for a used intelligence asset *should* be an equivalent american spy, who did not damage israel's security, who only gave america documents to which america was entitled by treaty, and who did not kill anyone. over 100 convicted palestinian terrorist murderers do not meet ANY of those criteria.

This is the deal that makes our enemies want to be Jewish and will have alots of impacts.

Would have written in Messianic Christian lingo about how evil men are to women.

He is not a spy but a hero..........put him on the war front.......he could handle 500 enemies at one time alone! God bless him. (end)

If you are not a liar in front of the whole internet world tell us how many non Jews did they not murder all these years?????????????? (end)

He is a liar. He could care less how many they let go.He wants out

Obama using Pallard as blackmail to squeeze concessions from Israel - on behalf of the Pals is criminal. Pollard should be released based on the facts of his csae, not as a conspiracy against Israel.

Can you tell me please if Irgun who blew up the British military headquarters in the Southern wing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem where terrorists??? Have you the guts to answer???

men, women, children,for allah,is a noble act.

Read the sordid history of American's dealings with Native Americans. Bribes, threats of violence, extortion and blackmail were routinely employed not just by Indian Commissioners charged with expropriating American Indian's historic lands but by successive U.S. administrations, Jefferson, Madison, Jackson Administrations, etc. Now the Americans have set their sites on historic Jewish lands. Nothing has changed.

we think this is the soul of the jewish people at it's best this is one true Guivor Isroel kol ha kavod We are using this affaire to explain our 8 year old girl what to be a mentsh is.

When Pollard was asked by Israel to reveal the names of the US spies in Israel Pollard refused,actually,it was the soviet union that is responsible for the harsh sentence Pollard received,the CIA member who testified in court about the severity of pollard's act,was a soviet agent,carrying out orders from Moscow.

Yonaton, I hope you are reading this comment? I'm a settler and very opposed to freeing terrorists and having another freeze. However, we have learnt to cope with these things in life and have strengthened both our security and our resolve in the process. Your remaining in captivity however is a source of misery for us, and should be ended immediately. With or without your release, we'll still have to cope with terrorism and threats against our existence here in the Jewish Homeland. Also they'll find another excuse to free another batch of murderers. Please, don't listen to the voice of politicians even if they seem to represent us Jews living in settlements. The thought of you being home with your people for Pesach in Israel by far exceeds this damaging media circus. No real Jews will make you feel guilty for being freed, just as none would wish Gilad back in Gaza. You will bring us far more joy coming home than you can imagine. Try and be a simple yid instead of a media personality sharing your convictions, and pray for the redemption of all Jews trapped in the Diaspora, including yourself. Don't try to be another martyr we have enough already, and need living Jews here in Israel. Come home safe and soon, shalom!

Despite spending decades in a U.S. prisons for passing info to a friendly state, Pollard has the courage to oppose Bibi's atrocious deal to free him a year early. Pollard's courage is a beacon of light again Bibi's pure pathetic cowardice. No other national leader on earth has trouble telling Obama "NO".

Are you defending Pollard spying on your own country???

Wonder where those sources would be originated from...wink, wink...

Maybe you should read JK's post 47 again, Dov...And please don't try to "speak" for American Jews here...Before posting your pathetic uninformed opinion, try to read some real facts of the case of Jonathan Pollard...Just google his name and you'll read the truth....He was never a spy, just as most chances are, that you are not Dov ben David in Eilat....

Freedom fighters dont kill innocent women, children & babies. Freedom fighters dont kill for glory. Besides, your idiotic words fall on deaf ears.

We'd rather have Pollard feeling at home with us than you & your hatred crawling all over this forum! Try hard not to poison any Jews when they come into your restaurant to eat!!

it's not fair that pollard received the same sentence as the walker brothers,the Navy spies,according to experts,had there been a war between the US and the soviets,the soviets would have won, because of the spies,John and Arthur walker,i believe it was Aldrich Ames,the soviet spy in the CIA,who testified against pollard in court ,the judge accepted his testimony and sentenced pollard for life,so, the soviets did a good job.

She despises males who are not worthy of the name, Man, which is most males since Solomon said only 1 male in a thousand is worthy of the name, Man. That is how pitifully sad and disappointing males (as well as females) are to Elohim.

Pollard did little damage to the US and was shocked and surprised at the harsh sentence. It taught me not to trust the US government at the federal, State, or local level US INjustice system.

He's not a Leech,he has to WORK in prison, A GUARD hurt him in his FIRST prison when he tried to get his yarmulke back after that same guard THREW IT ON TO THE GROUND, he was sprayed with chemicals, he also wasn't allowed to go to BOTH of his parents' funera, and more, THAT'S please, NOT! Put yours in HIS shoes, how would YOU feel?!
