Legislators and Jewish Leaders Call for the President to Grant Clemency to Jonathan Pollard
November 18, 2010


WASHINGTON -- Congressmen Barney Frank, Bill Pascrell Jr., Anthony Weiner and Steven Rothman, along with representatives of major Jewish organizations, held a press conference today to call for President Barack Obama to grant clemency to Jonathan Pollard, an American citizen and formal naval officer who has been incarcerated since 1985 for spying on behalf of Israel. Pollard is the only American who has received a life sentence for spying for an ally.
The Representatives were joined by Eric Fusfield of B'nai Brith International, Juliana Schnur of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, and Rabbi Abba Cohen of Agudath Israel of America. David Nyer, a key grassroots organizer of the effort to grant clemency to Jonathan Pollard, conveyed words of support from Rabbi Malcolm Hoenlein of the Conference of Major Jewish Presidents and Rabbi Pesach Lerner of the National Council of Young Israel.
At the press conference, Frank, Pascrell, Weiner and Rothman released a letter to President Obama, signed by thirty-nine Members of Congress, asking him to take action on the Pollard issue. The letter is attached.
The Members do not dispute Mr. Pollard’s guilt in this case, but they request that his sentence be reduced so it is comparable to sentences served by others convicted of spying for allies or non-adversarial nations.

“We are not questioning Mr. Pollard’s guilt, but rather appealing for clemency based on the vast disparity between his sentence and his crime,” said Congressman Pascrell, who visited Pollard in a federal prison in North Carolina in the late 1990s. “Israel is one of America’s strongest allies, and I believe that 25 years behind bars is far too many for Mr. Pollard, especially considering the sentences to those convicted of similar crimes on behalf of countries who are not our friends.”
“A decision by the President to grant clemency would not only be a humane act regarding Mr. Pollard, but I believe it would be taken as an affirmation of the strong commitment the U.S. has to Israel,” said Congressman Frank. “This is especially important at a time when Israel, our democratic ally, is facing difficult decisions regarding its efforts to make peace with its neighbors.”
“There is no doubt that Jonathan Pollard committed a very serious offense. But, the simple fact is that the punishment does not fit the crime,” Rep. Weiner said. “Out of commonsense and compassion for someone who cooperated fully, at what point do you say ‘enough is enough’?”
“This cause is about one simple but crucial principle: Equal justice under the law,” said Eric Fusfield, Director of Legislative Affairs of B’nai B’rith International. “Jonathan Pollard has already served 25 years of a life sentence for one count of passing classified information to an ally, a crime that, for other offenders, carries an average sentence of much less than 10 years; in fact, today the maximum sentence for this crime is 10 years. In Pollard’s case, the sentence clearly is vastly disproportionate to the crime and should be commuted to time already served.

Imagine for a moment that a generation of people were conditioned to believe that Black Widow spiders were actually good to have around because they took care of small insects. Eventually people would handle them, kiss them, defend them against others trying to harm them, even intentionally spread them around whether or not others wanted them because, well, it was the right thing to do and people that disagree don't understand.

Then something interesting happens. The spiders begin to bite their hosts, making many of them sick and incapacitated. A few people even die. But the spider defenders use the media to tell anyone that question the possibility the spiders can be deadly and bad to have around they are wrong, and proceed to justify that keeping ANY Black Widow in a box is no longer acceptable. Those that howl they are dangerous become pariahs in their own countries and classified as undesirables.

Eventually, laws get passed that make the victims, not the spiders, the enemy. It becomes illegal to criticize spider handlers and their agents, or to even speak poorly of them. People begin to disappear. Eventually, the spiders take over, spin webs of deceit, and poison their hosts with just enough venom to keep them sick but still productive enough to tend to the spiders and their needs. In the endgame, the spiders actually train the insects to do their dirty work, infesting every corner of the world with legions of pests under their control. Resistance is met with saturated attack by first the insects and then the people themselves against others.

Don't think it can happen? It already has.

WASHINGTON -- Congressmen Barney Frank, Bill Pascrell Jr., Anthony Weiner and Steven Rothman,
3 special people and a whore.

They will keep trying.
Pollard is a hero in Israel.

This was a plea bargain.
He and his wife could have been convicted of far more without a plea deal.
The sleazy liars forgot to mention that.

Pollard gave a whole lot of secrets to Israel, who sold them to the Soviet Union in exchange for letting Jews go to Israel. Many of those Soviet Jews who went to Israel have gone back to Russia. POllard languishes in a Country Club Prison called Butner in North Carolina, and the Soviet Union no longer exists, and Israel owns our Congress. From all this I can conclude only that it is just a matter of time until Pollard is released. And when he is released, that will be the signal that America has lost its sovreignty--conquered by Israel. Watch for it.
