Huge difference.There is a huge difference between spying and TREASON!!!There you go folks, propaganda for the masses....."The Israeli government even issued Mr. Pollard an Israeli identity card and published a public admission that he spied for Israel – the opposite of what should have been done to speed his release. Mr. Pollard’s second wife, Esther Seitz, who married him after he was jailed and who holds extreme right-wing views, has been loudly leading this chorus. She even hired a lawyer who had previously been involved in the defense of Yigal Amir, who in 1995 assassinated Mr. Rabin, then the prime minister.
"The Israeli government 'EVEN' issued an Israeli ID"
Obviously for the reason he spied, right? Wrong, but because they had to.
Next there's the part when past and future all mixed up but nobody needs to know about it right? Israel issued official apologies after admitting Pollard spied for Israel for the reason the US held crucial intelligence for Israel, and the US kept Israel out just like Obama did with Iran, in a way it was worth risking the relations with the US, 16 years ago.
Here is the part where you get to hear about his wife the extremist, please, then the punch line with Rabin to mark the '"lost hope" milestone, nice.
It was 30 years ago. America has spied on France, Germany and Brazil--for what reasons, I don't know.
