ADL: U.S. refusal to release Pollard borders on anti-Semitism

Abraham Foxman says issue of jailed Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard has become vendetta against entire American-Jewish community.

By The Associated Press and Haaretz | Jan. 28, 2014


Anti-Defamation League Chairman Abraham Foxman says the way the United States is treating convicted Jewish-American spy Jonathan Pollard (http://www.haaretz.com/misc/tags/Jonathan%20Pollard-1.477070)verges on anti-Semitism.
Pollard, was a civilian intelligence analyst for the U.S. Navy when he gave thousands of classified documents to Israel. Pollard was arrested in 1985 and sentenced to life in prison. Israeli governments and high-ranking former U.S. officials have called for his release.
Foxman says there is no reason why Pollard remains incarcerated when spies convicted of far more serious crimes have walked free.
He told Israel's Army Radio on Tuesday that the only explanation is someone is trying to teach the American-Jewish community a lesson in loyalty, and "that to me is on the verge of anti-Semitism."
In a statement released by the ADL, Foxman said the Pollard issue threatens the entire American-Jewish community.
"If it were only a vendetta against one individual, it would be bad enough. But it has now become one against the American-Jewish community. In effect, the continuing imprisonment of this person long after he should have been paroled on humanitarian grounds can only be read as an effort to intimidate American Jews. And, it is an intimidation that can only be based on an anti-Semitic stereotype about the Jewish community, one that we have seen confirmed in our public opinion polls over the years - the belief that American Jews are more loyal to Israel than to their own country, the United States."

At least prisoner P Pollard is still alive, this Israeli prisoner X who leaked just tiny bit Israeli intel to iran was found dead from "suicide" in his prison cell:


'Prisoner X' leaked Mossad intelligence to Iranian businessman, new book claims

Book contradicts previous media reports which claim that Ben Zygier, an Australian-born Mossad agent, worked independently to turn an associate of Hezbollah into a double agent.

SYDNEY – Ben Zygier, the Australian-born Mossad agent who committed suicide in 2010, was incarcerated in a maximum-security cell because he leaked intelligence about Israel’s espionage operations against Iran, a new book claims.
Titled “Prisoner X,” the codename given to Zygier after he was taken by Shin Bet in early 2010, author Rafael Epstein claims Zygier revealed sensitive information about operations he'd been involved in to an Iranian businessman during a university stint in Melbourne in 2009.
“It was this Iranian who played a key role in his downfall,” Epstein wrote in an exclusive extract published in The Sydney Morning Herald and Melbourne’s The Age newspapers on Saturday.
“Put simply, Ben said too much to the wrong person at the wrong time.”
Epstein’s thesis contradicts previous media reports, which claimed that in 2008 Zygier – who had been moved from a field job in Mossad to a desk job – flew unauthorized to Eastern Europe to try and turn an associate of Hezbollah into a double agent.
But his apparent attempt to prove his worth to his Mossad superiors backfired and he allegedly exposed two Lebanese nationals working for Mossad.

Pollard to Netanyahu: Help commute my parole, wife sick with cancer

"It’s a matter of life and death," Pollard said. "It's a human issue."

Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard appealed directly to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to personally request that US President Donald Trump commute his parole conditions so he could help his wife Esther who is suffering from cancer, Pollard said in an interview with Channel 12 on Monday.

The conditions were imposed on Pollard by his parole commission when he was released from prison in November 2015 after he served 30 years of a life sentence for passing classified information to Israel.
They require him to stay home between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m., to be monitored by a GPS device that forces him to violate Shabbat and holidays and for his computers to be monitored, which has prevented him from being employed.

Pollard said he contacted Netanyahu through Ambassador to the US Ron Dermer and asked for help and that Netanyahu, who has met with Esther many times, expressed concern and agreed to take action.

Spy Jonathan Pollard Must Be Freed, says Alan Dershowitz

Bill Clinton's phone sex was 'eavesdropped by MI6 and used by Israel for blackmail'

Author Daniel Halper also says the former US President included British actress Elizabeth Hurley on a “hit list” of women he wanted.

Halper’s book Clinton, Inc. claims UK, Israeli and Russian spies monitored the X-rated calls.

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu used the tapes to try to get Clinton to free Jonathan Pollard, an American jailed for spying for the Middle East country.

Clinton sought to have Pollard released, but was thwarted by CIA Director George Tenet, the book claims.
Halper secured hundreds of documents compiled by lawyers working for former White House intern Lewinsky.
The files were collected after Clinton’s affair with her was made public in January, 1998.

Clinton was on crutches after injuring his foot.
Halper claims when Lewinsky arrived the President gingerly made his way into his study where she performed oral sex on him. It is said to be the last time the pair were intimate.
Clinton is alleged to have expressed concern over their calls being listened in on.
“If anybody ever says anything about the calls I’ve made to you, tell them we were just joking,” Clinton said, according to the book, to be released in 10 days.



Netanyahu said to have offered Lewinsky tapes for Pollard

New critical book on the Clinton family claims that Israel tapped White House phones, blackmailed president with recordings of intern

By Rebecca Shimoni Stoil July 23, 2014, 7:01 pm

WASHINGTON — Israel attempted to use tapes of former US president Bill Clinton’s steamy conversations with intern Monica Lewinsky to leverage the release of Jonathan Pollard, a new book on the Clinton family’s political enterprises has claimed. In the book, titled “Clinton Inc: The Audacious Rebuilding of a Political Machine,” author Daniel Halper relies on on-the-record interviews with former officials together with a close analysis of documents termed “the Monica Files” to paint a salacious – and uncomplimentary – picture of one of the most prominent political families in the United States.

Halper reviewed hundreds of pages of documents compiled as a contingency to use in case the former intern ever was involved in legal action against Clinton.

According to the author, the documents indicate that during the Wye Plantation talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, held in Maryland in 1998, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pulled Bill Clinton aside to press for Pollard’s release.

Halper said that Israel had found new leverage to push for Pollard’s release.

“The Israelis present at Wye River had a new tactic for their negotiations–they’d overheard Clinton and Monica and had it on tape. Not wanting to directly threaten the powerful American president, a crucial Israeli ally, Clinton was told that the Israeli government had thrown the tapes away. But the very mention of them was enough to constitute a form of blackmail,” Halper wrote, adding that “according to information provided by a CIA source, a stricken Clinton appeared to buckle.”
