Now that the truth is out – that the US was doing at least the same thing to Israel, American Jews must rise up and demand that Pollard be freed and an apology from the US government should be made. Obama can bow to Netanyahu the way he bowed to the Saudi king. He can stand up in Jerusalem as he stood up in Cairo.
But above all else, before all else – put Pollard on the first plane to Israel and, if I were you, my American Jewish friends, I’d be on the second.
The fact that Obama pardoned drug dealers and thieves recently just adds insult to injury. If the US can use all assets and all means to spy on its allies, than the allies have the right to do the same right back and to inflict such an absurd and disproportional response to one man is unfair.
I can’t help but think that the same American Jew who wrote to me in the past that Pollard was embarrassing American Jews will now write and say the same of Israel. How dare we protest when Obama stabs us in the back with the Iran negotiations? How dare we think we have the right to defend ourselves and consider acting alone?
And to all of that – I would answer…how dare we??? No, how dare you!! How dare you forget that it was this collectivism that helped us survive 2,000 years of exile and I would remind you – you are still in exile.
