Thread Name: BS: Justice For Jonathan Pollard
Subject: RE: BS: Justice For Jonathan Pollard
I think that Pollard is being made a martyr and the term antisemite is being thrown around way too much. I think Rabbi-Sol should renounce what he said about "Sentenced as a Jew" and should in future should only make such accusations if he is prepared to back it up much better than he has in this case.
Pollard and his supporters seem to be playing chicken with the US athorities whereby they are trying to have their spies and free them to.
If Pollard is released, it should be on parole, the terms of the parople being that he should not be able to accept any reward of any kind from Israel, and that he and the Israeli government, both condemn his actions. He should not be allowed to migrate to Israel.
If Pollard, the government of Israel and the prominent Jewish groups do not back off then I am prepared to believe that Mr. Pollard has learned nothing from his incarceration, that potential spies have received no clear message of deterrance and that he should stay in prison until such time as he clearly renounces what he has done.
"Let him rot" was a euphamism, hopefully you now understand what I meant.
