Leaders of the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations met with convicted Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard.
The Tuesday meeting was held at the Butner Federal Correctional Complex in North Carolina, where Pollard has served 27 years of a life sentence for espionage.
“We returned with a renewed commitment to work for Mr. Pollard’s release from incarceration in accordance with longstanding Conference policy,” said Chairman Richard Stone and Executive Vice Chairman Malcolm Hoenlein in a statement Friday. “We see this as a serious humanitarian issue as well as a legal matter.”
Pollard’s release has long been sought by American Jewish groups who argue that he has recieved a sentence far harsher than others convicted of similar espionage crimes. Pollard has also expressed remorse and is said to be suffering from multiple medical ailments.
In recent years, a renewed push on his behalf has gained support from a number of members of Congress as well as former U.S. government officials.
The Conference of Presidents, the main Jewish umbrella group on matters of foreign policy, called on its member organizations to work for Pollard’s release.

Olive Oyl (Popeye’s honey) had a catch phrase that is perfect for this article about releasing Jonathan Pollard, she said, “No, no, a thousand times no! and I agree……..

He should die in the prison infirmary just like non-Jewish spies do. Let us not forget how many deaths he was responsible for. We never hear about this from the Israeli firster- dual citizens.

Does anyone know that what this piece of sh*t did directly led to the death of hundreds of Americans? What about their families?
This TRAITOR should die in prison, PERIOD!
I think If this TRAITOR is released the Military, CIA, etc. could revolt!

why is this traitorous piece of trash so important to the parasites?

If released, those who protect us by serving in tight spots should revolt. It speaks for itself.
This traitorous POS is important to the parasites by virtue of nationality as the zionists would not do this other spies.

Pollard’s perfidy and the lives and assets lost (as well as brokered to the USSR) constituted the most catastrophic espionage case since the Rosenbergs. To quote Caspar Weinberger, he should have been shot.

@galwayspaniard, absolutely, Pollard isn`t the only traitorous piece of trash in the US..

Maybe only Pollard can read his own notes? Maybe they need him for clarifying? Maybe they need him to fill in the gaps?
Maybe they’re like a dog with fleas, always needing something to scratch at?
Maybe it’s all a diversion while they’re readying the other (9eleven) shoe to drop?
Maybe they obsessive compulsive & have a profound need to always be asking for something – the worst that can happen is we(USA) say ‘no’.
Maybe he promised to show them where he hid the ark of the covenant.

Do all of you not know why those jews and israHell want him so badly?
HE IS A LIVING-SAINT TO THE DEMONS WALKING-ON-TWO-LEGS.
Didn’t all of you know that?
LINDSEY
NB: He has a nest-egg of, I do believe, $45,000 a year waiting for him, and much, much more that I have forgotten. This is the israHell that has done this for him, mind you, and israHell is known as “the jewish-state.” Funny, it is not known as “the zionist state.”

Don’t let any of them back out.

Pollard also has a wealth of info that he could give to his friends back in the promised (LOL!) land.

@massimo: it will be a bleak day when they set this traitor free, bleak for you & bleak for me, bleak for the USA but oh what a coup for the entity.
