ed note–Kind of a strange decision on the part of an administration headed by a president who is said to be the ‘favored son of Judea’. I guess the obvious lesson here is that there is more to all of this than meets the superficial eye of all those experts who claim otherwise.

Please note one of those ‘how they do it’ whoppers in the following line regarding Pollard having provided Israel with ‘hundreds of classified documents’ that he had obtained as a civilian intelligence specialist for the US Navy.

It was not hundreds, it was close to a million, all of which were classified ‘SCI’–meaning ‘secret compartmented intelligence’, the highest classification possible  within the USGOV. Furthermore, Pollard’s treason was not just ‘theoretical’ in terms of the danger in which he placed America for the sake of ‘home sweet home, meaning Israel, but in fact led to the deaths of as many as 1,000 people operating in an intelligence capacity for America whose identities were discovered.

Times of Israel

The United States Justice Department has refused a formal Israeli request to allow Jonathan Pollard to move to Israel, a report said Wednesday, three years after the convicted spy was released from jail.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was said last year to have asked US President Donald Trump to allow Pollard to emigrate.

Pollard served nearly 30 years in prison on a conviction of spying for Israel and has been prevented from moving to the Jewish state since his November 2015 release.

Hadashot TV news reported that Israel had also lodged a formal request with the US Justice Department, asking for Pollard to be allowed to move to Israel, where he would remain under restrictive conditions as part of an agreement between both countries.

Several weeks ago, the Justice Department unequivocally rejected the request, according to the report, saying the reason was the severity of the crimes Pollard committed in the 1980s.

The Justice Department was also said to dismiss the Israeli request to consider Pollard’s age and deteriorating medical condition.

The report added that Israel’s consul general in New York, Dani Dayan, was copied on the response to the Israeli request, and that efforts regarding Pollard were continuing through other channels.

The Prime Minister’s Office responded to the response by saying that “Prime Minister Netanyahu remains committed to returning Pollard to Israel.”

Netanyahu’s request was reported last year by Channel 2 news — since renamed as Hadashot — saying it had come in light of economic goodwill gestures that Israel agreed to provide the Palestinians at the White House’s behest earlier that year.

As part of the request, Netanyahu promised the White House that if it agreed to allow Pollard to emigrate, he would continue to be subject to the same restrictions imposed by the American court upon his release, the report said.

Pollard’s imprisonment had been a longtime point of tension in Israeli-US relations, with Israeli leaders petitioning their US counterparts for years in order to secure his release. After Netanyahu met with US Vice President Mike Pence in February 2017, the latter reportedly agreed to consider the issue, and it was decided that Israeli Ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer would personally take it on.

In May that year, a US federal appeals court rejected Pollard’s request to lift restrictive parole conditions that were established following his release two years ago.

The parole terms require him to stay in his New York home from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., to submit any computer he uses for inspection, and to wear a GPS monitoring device at all times.

Pollard, 64, also must remain in the US for five years, despite his desire to move to Israel.

Pollard pleaded guilty in 1986 to conspiracy to commit espionage in connection with providing Israeli contacts with hundreds of classified documents he had obtained as a civilian intelligence specialist for the US Navy.

  1. It’s so funny how the Israelis initially claimed that his spying was due to the work of unauthorized “rogues”, but now they openly call for his exile to Israel.

  2. “isn’t real” needs to DIE… and DIE SOON . . Putrid deceitful scams are NOT fashionable these days, (nor were they EVER), and time to flush the zio SCAM back into the sewers..

  3. Wow. Someone finally grew a pair and told “israel” no on something. I wonder if the jews will have a nervous break down over it since they are so not used to hearing that word.

  4. “Hadashot TV news reported that Israel had also lodged a formal request with the US Justice Department, asking for Pollard to be allowed to move to Israel, where he would remain under restrictive conditions as part of an agreement between both countries.”
    That’s utter horse manure. Pollard would be hailed a hero and given a damned parade. The only way that son of a b*tch should go back to IsRaEl is in a plain pine box.
    POLLARD SHOULD HAVE BEEN HUNG FROM A ROPE YEARS AGO.
    As for Mike Pence, I swear they have a ton of blackmail info on that guy.
    As for Dermer, you can read about him and come to your own conclusions…Curiously, his mother and grandparents moved TO the U.S. (Miami, Florida to be precise) AFTER IsRaEl “won its independence”. SPIES, much??
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Dermer
    “Dermer earned a B.S. in Finance and Management from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in 1993, and a degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) from Oxford University in 1996. In 1995, while still at Oxford, he helped manage Natan Sharansky’s Yisrael b’Aliyah 1996 Knesset election campaign.”
    THIS MEANS DERMER WAS WORKING FOR SHARANSKY WHILE STILL A CITIZEN OF THE U.S.
    Then, Dermer moved to IsRaEl in 1996 and began the process of getting his Yehudi citizenship in 1997.
    “In 2005, while Benjamin Netanyahu served as Finance Minister under Ariel Sharon, Dermer was appointed economic envoy at the Israeli embassy in Washington, a post for which he had to give up his American citizenship.”
    SO DERMER HELD DUAL CITIZENSHIP UNTIL 2005.
    And Dermer is the guy who is “personally taking on” the issue of Pollard being released to go to IsRaEl.

  5. Quite comical, the claim :- “hundreds of classical documents” thereby minimalizing the nature of his treachery against the country that trusted him, i.e. the U.S. Especially when we all know that when it comes to another subject close the Judaic heart, they are more than willing to do the exact opposite and exaggerate the figure by a considerable magnitude.
    As I always say to my kids, “I’ve told you six million times not to exaggerate”
