That, folks, is the essence of the great Yiddish word, “Rishus.” The man had been behind bars 29 years, but the NY Times demanded that he spend every last minute in there, because we don’t let spies out based on a clever PR campaign. Not justice, not mercy — it’s just those clever Israelis with their Israeli wiles.
The NY Times has pushed a persistent, relentless campaign to keep Pollard in jail for many years now. They’ve collaborated in this with the most anti-Israeli forces in every Administration, left, right and middle. Now they’re on a new crusade, to make sure Pollard spends every day of his parole time away from the Jewish State, broken, sick, isolated.
Rishus, thy address is 620 Eighth Avenue, corner of 41st Street.
