Thread Name: BS: Justice For Jonathan Pollard
Subject: RE: BS: Justice For Jonathan Pollard
Artbrooks,

Thanks for the support, I guess, I've been careful to try to stick to what I think is the point. Thank you for recognizing that this discussion is about opinions on Pollard and not about some weird, arbitrary definition of "Antisemitism" from anonymous guests.

I was giving my gut reation, the Pollard case does not concern me. To be frank if Rabbi-Sol had not accused the Government of antisemitism, I wouldn't have bothered. The US government has gone out on a limb for Israel so many times. How many votes in the UN have essentially been the entire body against the US and Israeli, Israel should thank God every day fro the US's veto. The US is giving Israel enormous amounts of military aid and more financial aid than any other country. To accuse the government of "trying as an American and punishing as a Jew", is, to say the least, worthy of note.
