Asked by media outlets for their reaction to the apology issued by Ambassador Richard Jones for his egregious statements about Jonathan Pollard at Bar Ilan University yesterday, Esther Pollard made the following statement:
“Jonathan and I were gratified to learn that a first step has been taken by the US Ambassador in recognizing the evil that was done. However, the Ambassador’s apology to Jonathan and myself, in the absence of a complete retraction and correction of the false charges that he laid upon my husband, is inadequate.
Ambassador Jones falsely accused my husband of treason, falsely accused my husband of spying for money, and falsely accused him of harming the United States. He suggested that Jonathan ought to have been executed, reinforcing the false charge of treason. All of these false charges made by Richard Jones against Jonathan Pollard are still out in the public domain and doing damage. Unless and until Jones takes retracts these egregious lies and corrects the record, his apology is is at best incomplete, and at worst insincere.”

That poor woman is right on the money. His incarceration is totally out of line. This is a case of the old fashioned Anti-Semitism in the Army that has been around since the WWI.
I heard some disturbing news about this Pollard over the weekend.
Is it true that Pollard refuses to take a parole, but insists on a pardon before he walks out of prison?
What is anti-semitic? That he was caught?
Why is he sporting that ugly hairdo? Is that is hairdo while in prison?
Is it not true this guy married a shiksa?
What is the mental state of this Johnny before and during his incarceration?
The mere fact that he went running to the Israeli Embassy in D.C. when this matter blew up clearly shows that he was engaged in espionage with the Israelis. Why then did he not run to the British, Spanish, Australian, etc. embassy?
Who was m’gayer his wife? I am told he married a shiksa.
NonKollelman, his wife was a born Jew. Pollard was very low employee in the Defense Department. His intelligence was not a major breach of American security. He is rotting in Jail because of a private memo that former Defense Secretary Casper Weinberger wrote. Cap Weinberger was a self hating Jew and took advantage of the in laid Anti-Semitism in the Defense Department.
And before NonKollelman you blog again, get your facts straight!
