Related: About this forumIsraeli spy Pollard released from US prison
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4728603,00.html
NORTH CAROLINA - After 10,956 days behind bars in the US, convicted Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard left his prison in North Carolina in the early hours of Friday morning.
Pollard's lawyers appealed the terms of his release in the US District Court in New York soon after he left the prison. The lawyers have appealed what they termed illegal stipulations placed on the former spy, including an ankle bracelet with 24 hour GPS monitoring, and tracking of his and his employer's computer systems. The lawyers say the conditions prevent Pollard from being hired, as no employer would agree to the tracking of their systems.
Politicians in Israel wasted no time in reacting to the release, "The people of Israel welcome Jonathan Pollard's release," said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a statement released shortly after the news broke.
"May this Sabbath bring him much joy and peace that will continue in the years and decades ahead."

Such heartfelt admiration, from Israeli leaders, for an American traitor who spied for them.
I hope Pollard is never allowed to emigrate to Israel. If he is then he will be treated like a hero there: which shows just what Israel thinks about the USA.

Depaysement
(1,835 posts)1. One thing to add
Eliot Lauer is the lawyer who spearheads this Pollack campaign. He runs the litigation department at a big international law firm, Curtis Mallet. Lauer is also a director of the REPUBLICAN Jewish Coalition. An RJC "philanthropist" funded this disgusting attempt to free the traitor for 15 years.
According to the Habeas petition filed by Lauer Thursday, Pollard the traitor has a job waiting for him in a New York investment firm.
I wonder who the "philanthropist" is and which firm gave him a job? I have hunches but no proof.

He can wait five years, just like every other piece of shit felon on parole does.
