JERUSALEM (AFP) – Several Israeli leaders on Sunday urged the United States to allow jailed Jewish-American spy Jonathan Pollard to attend his father's funeral, after he was not granted permission to join him at his bedside before he died.



Several politicians had tried in vain to convince US authorities to allow Pollard, who is serving life imprisonment, to visit his father before his death on Saturday.



"I know that the prime minister (Benjamin Netanyahu) did his best to enable Pollard to see his sick father," Culture Minister Limor Livnat told reporters.



Awwwwww, poor traitor. My heart bleeds for him.

I'm an advocate for the Israelis, but I've got to agree with you on this. Spies should be treated like spies, and it doesn't matter who they work for.

They should give him a pass to join his father.

When did we stop executing traitors?

I admire the Israelis for looking out for their people. I don't blame them for spying on us. But every Israeli spy caught in the US should swing.

I've been asking the same thing. If we don't punish traitors, then what kind of example are we setting to the rest of the country?

I'm all for this as long as his father is buried in the prison garden.

Pollard should be released...for his own funeral.  Not otherwise.

If they turn him loose that's the last you'll see of him.

Bullshit on this.  He's treated worse than most spies caught giving information to our enemies.

So, who is the next Pollard apologist?

Just come out and say that its a huge Anti-Semite conspiracy.

Anyone who thinks the US and Israel are friends is delusional. The Israelis don't have friends they have interests.

And then people wonder why some people treat the rabid pro-Israelis with suspicion.





If one's loyalty lies anywhere other than the United States, gtfo, imho.

I'd say the relationship is more complex than that...

Just like there are multiple Pakistans, socially and politically speaking, there are multiple Israels, socially and politically speaking.

Really?  Michael Walker was paroled in 2000.   He and his families' little spy ring shifted the balance of power between Russia and the United States and put the life of every American in jeopardy.  Why is he walking the street today?  Because his father took the more serious plea bargain to let him out.

Of course. But as a nation, we cannot count on them to go against their self interest in the least, no matter how it benefits us.

Kind of like Anne Pollard who was paroled and then emigrated to Israel?

Is his father in the U.S. or Israel? If the latter... good luck expecting to get him back.

You're comparing Michael Walker to Pollard? Seriously?
