Now That America Spies Too…

If America spied on Israel, as a leak revealed, than it is ridiculous to keep Jonathan Pollard in jail, argues Rabbi Pesach Lerner. Video

Of course it's hypocritical!

That’s called diplomacy. Every country has spies. Every country knows that every other country spies. And every country will arrest and imprison or kill a spy they find there, as they should. That’s been going on for a very long time. He’s lucky he wasn’t caught 20 years before or in a different country. He’d be dead and no one would whine about it because no one would know.

all the jews in all over the world should demanstrait, should strike, should go governers house, not to let them sleep, but to scream and shout to release such a Tsadik who saved peoples life from deaf. We should not be qiuete about it at all, but to fight like Arabs who fight for their murderers, terrorists and get them back from Israelis jail. Why they deserve to live freely and not Pollard who didnt kill anybody, but saved peoples life!????!we should not be quete about it, but to demanstrait until he is free. BH. Amen!

No, comment 2 – Jews actually care. This is a travesty plain and simple. If he was not Jewish we’d say the same thing. A number of former Secretaries of State have said the same as well, but the facts are clear. He should be freed and people should work behind the scenes to help make this happen. To 1 – tracht gut vet zein gut, and that will also lead to people doing what they need to do.
