Ukraine – A group of Ukrainian Jewish activists meeting Monday in Kiev with William Taylor, the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, presented a petition signed by more than 10,000 people seeking the commutation of Pollard’s life sentence. The U.S. naval analyst pleaded guilty to spying for Israel and was sentenced in 1986.

Ukrainian Jews believe the punishment was out of proportion to those for similar crimes.
The delegation that met with Taylor was headed by Yaakov Dov Bleich, the chief rabbi of Kiev, and Jewish leader Dmitry Vilensky. [jta]
Two points of contention with Anon. 10:28 PM. 1) Jonathan Pollard committed a BREACH of TRUST against the Government of The United States, of the highest degree. (his security clearance was such, that he had access to most top secret documents, and he breached that trust. In addition, causing irreparable damage to all of the Jewish population in this country.)
2)Caspar Weinberger YMSHV”Z was not Jewish, by any measure. (Not that it matters, except to himself. He was driven by this Complex. The same disability that drives the publishers of the nEW yORK tIMES, to always take the side of the enemy, against the Jews, for fear that he’ll be labeled Jewish). His
father converted to Christianity and married a non-Jewish woman.

WHAT YOU CAN DO:
Daven (pray).
Make sure that prayers for the immediate release of Jonathan Pollard (Yehonatan ben Malka) is a regular part of your communal prayers and your own. Pray for Jonathan Pollard’s swift return to Israel and his reunion with his wife Esther (Esther Yocheved Bas Rayzl Bracha).
Write to your Congressman and Senator.
Write to ALL Congressmen and Senators. Send them the facts of the case.
Insist that legislators publicly correct erroneous public statements for which they are responsible. (Email Links and fax numbers for Congressmen and Senators are the Send A Message For Pollard Page.)
In Israel, fax and email the Prime Minister.
Pollard can’t be put on a back burner again. Words are not enough. Now is the time to act.
Inundate Jewish organizations with phone calls faxes and letters of protest regarding their indolence and lack of action.
The Conference’s long discussed plan to send yet another letter to the President is simply too little too late.
Insist that all Jewish Organizations publicly protest the current smear campaign against Jonathan.
It is in essence a modern-day blood libel against Israel and the American Jewish community. Jewish Organizations have a duty to take out ads in all the major American news papers (like they do for every other issue large or small, Jewish or not) not only to protest but also to educate the American people as to the true facts of the case. Insist on it!

Jonathan Pollard is being punished because he was an embarrassment to the United States.
It was our own self hating Jew Casper Weinberger who made sure he sits for a eternity.
I’m sure Casper is bemoaning is fate in Gehennom as we speak. But that doesn’t help Pollard.
Can anyone please tell us what can be done to help him?
why do you call spying for israel “helping Jews”?
I feel that if a Jew spies against the United States you work against the intrest of Jews!
well at least they are doing something
while the american jews sit on our tushis and do squad
what if u were in jail for helping jews and everyone turned their backs on you???????/
not only do we turn our back we give these people money
enough is enough
