State Comptroller’s Report: More Cover-up of Israeli Government Criminal Negligence Regarding Pollard

Commentary:

The months of pre-publicity regarding Israel State Comptroller Lindenstrauss’s investigation and report regarding what the government of Israel did or did not do on behalf of Jonathan Pollard were not promising and the accounts of the investigation report bear out the previous impressions.

This author is not even so surprised at the sham report as regarding the comments of Jonathan’s Israeli representation attorney Nitzana Darshan-Leitner as published in the Jerusalem Post: read more

While Pollard Jailed for Life: Ex-Professor Gets 4 years for Passing Military Secrets to Iran, China

.
Commentary:

The irony of the verdict in the case cited in the Miami Herald report below is all too obvious to rehash. The bottom-line is that while passing information bound by agreement between 2 “friendly” nations for the U.S. to provide American ally Israel and which was crucial to the security and survival of Israel (and which agreement was defaulted upon by the U.S.), landed Jonathan Pollard in prison for life, an ex-professor is handed a 4 year prison sentence for passing militay secrets to hostile nations; Iran and China: read more

Shavu’ot 5769: All-Night Learning and Jonathan Pollard

.

by Moshe Burt

The concept of promoting learning all night on Shavu’ot L’Zechut Jonathan Pollard came about as an enlargement of this author’s concept of devoting one Thursday night Mishmar per month L’Zechut Jonathan, and out of a recognition that the long-established policy of current and successive previous Israeli governments of forsaking Jonathan is impervious to earthly efforts to affect pressure on his behalf to bring about change in this now long-standing policy. read more

“Bring Jonathan Pollard Home” Facebook Group Urges Shavu’ot Learning on Pollard’s Behalf

.

Commentary:

Jonathan Pollard, as a Jew and employed by the Defense dept. in the early 1980s, became aware that the US was in violation of treaty agreements with Israel which bound the US to supply Israel with vital intelligence. Although knowing that he could be prosecuted and imprisoned, he felt compelled as a Jew, l’Shem Shamayim, to provide Israel with this important intelligence.

Let me emphasize that Jonathan provided Israel with this vital information without remuneration, out of love for his fellow Jew and for the Jewish people. read more

State Comptroller’s “Pollard Probe” Shallow; Claims “No Authority” to Probe

.

NOT!

Commentary;

As with the commentary, immediately below this one. which relates to the bogus Regime/SELA libelous media report, so too, in the case of the regime’s latest machinations regarding Jonathan Pollard, as related through its blatantly leftist surrenderist MSM mouthpiece Ha’aretz and another two-bit beat reporter; the old adage kicks in: “tell a lie often enough and it becomes truth.” Then keep on telling it and every telling self-reinforces the bogus “truth (sic)” of the previous tellings. read more

Before taking off on this train of thought, here’s follow up on this week’s earlier post about the Thursday night Mishmar L’Zechut Jonathan Pollard which took place last evening;

In addition, a news release was emailed to several email lists and Yahoo e-groups both in Israel and in Chutz L’Aretz regarding last night’s Mishmar and as to plans to continue a once-a-month Mishmar dedicated to Jonathan and encouraging the Shuls to sign on to this Mitzvah of Pidyan Shevu’im. read more

Are You Making YOUR Clemency for Pollard Calls to White House?

.
Commentary;

It is disturbing, to say the least, to behold responses in certain Israeli Chareidi circles to this question.

One such response received today was this; “The big Rabbonim have not told us to do anything.” In other words, Pidyon Sh’vu’im is out the window unless these Rabbonim invoke it to the flocks? And it apparently has fallen on deaf ears that Rav Yosef Shalom Elyashiv, shlita and Rav Aharon Leib Steinman, shlita co-signed a letter to President Bush asking the president to release Jonathan Pollard from jail. read more
