"Did you read my questions? Or did you just want another opportunity to liken Israel to Muslim nations? "
hehehe... uh, because israel is AUTOMATICALLY more innocent than one of those evil fucking muslim nation, right? you know.. even though we DID just catch the second batch of spys in less than half a fucking decade? indeed, with friends like israel....
"My questions were: Can you name one other spy whose been convicted of spying for a
friendly nation other than Jonathan Pollard? Have you ever heard of one convicted of spying for a friendly nation receiving a life sentence?"
"FREINDLY" doesn't spy on their friends. Do you think israel would be similarly forgiving if a german was caught spying on them? of course not. THEN it would be a clear sign of rampant european anti-semitism and one more reason to yank on the pit bull US's chain.
as to your question:
On February 22, 1994, Ames and his wife were formally charged by the United States Department of Justice with spying for the Soviet Union and Russia. Ames could have faced the death penalty, since his betrayal had resulted in several CIA "assets" being killed.[11] However, he received a sentence of life imprisonment, and his wife received a 5-year prison sentence for conspiracy to commit espionage and tax evasion as part of a plea-bargain by Ames. Upon her release from prison, Rosario went to South America to reside.

86, 04 and now 07. How many times does it take to make you wonder about israels motives, jillian? How many muslims would have been strung up if in the exact same position as these three separate fucking instances of SPYING, jillian?
I know I know.. Pollard's life sentence, INSTEAD OF EXECUTION, sure is a telltale sign of blatant hatred of jews in america.. *yawn*
"And: Did you bother looking at their defense?"
praytell... why don't YOU post their defense so we can all see how far common denominator-Americans will go to find a rug to sweep espionage under. PLEASE sow me how you rationalize the act of spying on YOUR COUNTRY. And, if you don't mind, post it in arabic so we can see if the same double standard sounds as acceptable coming from a muslim.
"Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were convicted of spying for the Soviet Union during the height of the McCarthy Era? You want to compare our relationship with the Soviet Union at that time with our relationship with Israel?"
When it comes to espionage against the USA then, yes, I'll compare ANY OBVIOUSLY HOSTILE NATION WITH ANY OTHER OBVIOUSLY HOSTILE NATION.
Funny, maybe russia would have been a different story altogether had we given them the same double standard with THEIR nukes as we hand out to israel, eh? It's pretty fucking easy to be friendly with the nation giving you that extra spoonful of sugar, isn't it? The FACT is, the Rosenburg's were AMERICAN and were charges with CONSPIRACY and we still hung their asses. We should be doing the same with every spy we catch pilfering our nation, jillian. Just because you have that common denominator with israel doesn't forgive the hostile act of spying.
"
I do find it interesting,though, that you chose Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.
They were jew spies, too. And, I am in a bit of a unique position to discuss their case because I had the opportunity, while working on a project in law school, to go out to the Federal Archives in Bayonne, NJ, and read the trial transcript of their case."
lemme guess... i MUST HAVE picked the rosenburgs as an example because im a giant jooo hating antisemite, right? *yawn* It ALWAYS comes down to that single shot defense, doesnt it? ALWAYS.
"Did you know that the "evidence" which convicted them was a side table that ostensibly had a secret compartment? Did you know that table was never produced at trial?"
indeed, I've read about the trial. I don't think it was some giant jooo hating anti-semite fest in America if that's what you are alluding to.
"Did you know that the testimony which put them to death was offered by Ethel's own brother who actually DID work at Los Alamos and wanted to save his own skin so allowed his nephews' mother and father to be put to death?"
great. plea bargains were invented that day? Are you automatically ASSUMING their innocence, jillian? Why, oh WHY might that be the case?
"Did you know that if the case hadn't taken place at the height of the commie threat; didn't have a jew judge who was terrified of being labeled a commie like other jews of the time; and didn't have a jury who had been revved into such a frenzy that they were hungry for commie red meat, the Rosenbergs never would have been convicted?"
you are projecting. You cannot predict the outcome of a hypothetical. Funny, I love how in one paragraph you make it clear that A) a poor jewish judge had to convict or be picked on by evil goyim as a commie B) it was the treatment of OTHER JEWS at the time, auswitz like im sure, that caused the Rosenbergs to become some kind of scapegoat and C) that the evil goyim jury was just our for some poor innocent hebrew blood like wolves gnashing their teeth for poor picked on innocent jews...
Yes, it's attitudes like that which belay your motivation for casting ANY criminal behaviour by a jew as less criminal than it is. Like I said, if you want to be an AMERICAN then act like it. If you want to be an ISRAELI then it's time to find you some pal land to settle on and enjoy zion. Your capacity to whitewash jewish behaviour is fucking lame. We have a standard of laws that SHOULD apply consistently regardless of your link to the chosen race.
"Good case to rely upon. "
Indeed, it is. Maybe if you took off the star of david on your sleeve and replaced it with an american flag...
