Al-Arabiya Director: Pollard for Barghouti
Excerpt;
“According to Abdul Rahman Al-Rashid, director of the United Arab Emirates-based satellite television station Al-Arabiya, the release of convicted terrorist leader Marwan Barghouti from Israeli jail is dependent upon the release of Jonathan Pollard from his American imprisonment. Pollard is serving a life sentence in federal prison for having passed along classified information to Israel.”
Commentary;
It must be understood that this author lovingly prays for Jonathan Pollard’s release daily and Shabbos at every opportunity as well as encorporating a prayer for his release in each Vort on Torah spoken or written. And the possibility that Marwan Barghouti could be released is beyond sickening.
