Subject: RE: BS: Justice For Jonathan Pollard
Based on your last posting that crossed with mine, I will assume that "prominent Jewish groups" is some sort of code that you use.

"Prominent" is not a "relative term." My dictionary offers two meanings:

1) Projecting outward or upward from a line or surface; protuberant.

2) Widely known; eminent.

In the context that you use the word, it is, obviously, # 2.

Let me rephrase the question to you in words that may be more understandable: What WIDELY KNOWN or EMINENT Jewish groups are you talking about?

If you're talking about a grassroots effort by Pollard's family, friends and supporters, that does not meet anyone's standard of widely known, eminent, or prominent.

In other words, you are using thinly veiled code to advance your agenda.
