Rabbi accuses Obama of denying justice for Jonathan Pollard as leverage over Jews & Israelis

http://jootube.org Rabbi Pesach Lerner, Exec. Vice-President of the National Council of Young Israel relates the realities of the persecution of the ailing, over-sentenced Jewish-American, Jonathan Pollard.

U.S. Naval intelligence officer, Pollard destroyed his family and sacrificed his freedom in order to pass on certain intelligence information to the Israelis. What sort of information? Details of: Iraqi and Syrian gas, chemical and biological warfare capabilities; Soviet arms shipments to Arab countries; Pakistan's efforts to build an atom bomb; U.S. Intelligence assessments of PLO-planned activities; Libyan air defenses, and more.

Why such information, some of vital to Israel's very survival, was being officially withheld from Israel by the U.S. - despite the "U.S.-Israel Exchange of Intelligence Agreement" the two nations had signed just two years earlier - remains a mystery. To Pollard, it was more than a mystery; it was an outrage.

(When Pollard asked his superiors in the U.S. Defense Department why information about the poison gas capabilities of Israel's sworn enemies was being withheld from Israel, he was reportedly told: "Jews are too sensitive about gas.") Pollard responded by breaking the rules.

[PlainSight52]

He should be executed!

[democast]

@PlainSight52  Why? Because of your hate for Jews in general?

[dave777blaster]

@democast wake up

stop being a putz

pollard was a spy and is lucky to be alive

lets free Vannunu now that's a worthy cause

[democast]

@dave777blaster Stop trying to project your "putz-ness" on rational thinkers and try giving the facts more priority than your anti-Israel sentimentality, friend.

[dave777blaster]

@democast That line is wearing thin

[artskell]

@democast you really are against my country, America, but your continued support of this criminal traitor Pollard, who should be hung by piano wire on the grave of his father, then mutilated by the families his treachery brought harm to. I'm sure they would LOVE to meet pollard in person. Why you support such a loathsome creep as Pollard shows what you are made of and what you are about. Get out of America. Go back to Warsaw or Berlin or whatever s*ithole you are from. Bye bye anti-American.

I would love to pull the switch to fry the traitor.

[shqiperiany]

@jmdentz33 he should serve "life term" more

[shqiperiany]

@democast why do you think just because we are not with israel, you immediately think we're anti-semitism. that shit is getting really old and please stop it. this fagot has betrayed america and it's people. he deserves to be hung. and anyone who is whining should shut the fuck up and suck eachothers balls, including urs!

What hypocrisy! He wouldn't be sitting in jail if Israeli embassy guards weren't ordered to push him off embassy grounds after he and his wife went there to seek asylum. Israel wanted nothing to do with Pollard for over a decade after he went to prison before they finally admitted he was their spy.

When faced with a choice of loyalty to Israel or the US, he chose...Israeli money.

It's simple. He's a traitor.

Pollard should just practice looking sincerely sorry for the parole board in 2015.

Pollard's work saved the US many American lives back in 1991. The G.I's coming to Iraq would have had to confront a nuclear country - if it wasn't for him. I wouldn't call such a man "a traitor". Let Jonathan Go!
