The Jerusalem City Council has chosen Monday, Jan. 7, 2008, as the date for a ceremony renaming Paris Square (Kikar Paris) – a public square situated midway between the American Consulate and the prime minister’s residence – in honor of Jonathan Pollard.
The name change to Freedom for Jonathan Pollard Square anticipates the arrival of Bush in Israel two days later, on Jan. 9, and marks the start of Pollard’s 23rd year in prison. The Jerusalem City Council declared that the name change will take effect immediately and remain in effect until Pollard is released and returned to Israel.[inn]
He is a convicted criminal and its obvious that we will never know the whole story.
Why do pe0ople care more about him than for the kipnapped soldiers?
let him go already. He should have been released by now.

there are few yeshiva boys who are mia. what rock do you live under?
Naming a square for Pollard two days before Bush’s visit is yet another bone head move by the Israeli fools who have never learned about manners. How about the many Jews who have died giving their lives for Israel and the Jewish people? Name the square for them. Don’t name a square as a political embarressment for the PResident of the United STates. How stupid can you get?
u know we continue our lives as if nothing is wrong yet here sits and rots our brother in prison for no other reason other then he’s jewish and a political hot potato/pawn or what ever other reason he’s still stuck their definatley not for the crime which he commited as for that he shouldove been out long ago

1) He needs a haircut.
2) He needs a shave but doesn’t have to. Why then, do the frima Yidden that sit have to shave, when Pollard doesn’t?
