Former prime minister Ehud Olmert criticized former agent Jonathan Pollard on Sunday, saying he should not be welcomed in Israel.
Interviewed by Jerusalem Post editor-in-chief Yaakov Katz at the Maariv newspaper’s business conference on Sunday, Olmert cautioned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against holding a festive ceremony for Pollard when he moves to Israel soon.
“With all due respect, I would prefer that he not move to Israel,” Olmert said. “We don’t owe him anything. He was a spy who worked for a lot of money. He was not a ZiontistZionist volunteer who came and sacrificed his life. He was an American who loved Israel and worked for a lot of money, spying for Israel.”

At least he loves his country as opposed to you who wanted to give it away to the Arabs!
What a horrible thing to say. Regardless. Disgusting. Every Jew is welcomed in Isreal.
And Olmert should stay in isolation forever!! As usual he is a coldhearted subhuman
Why is it always politicians with a personal grudge that claim to have the right prospective? (think of Romney).
Maybe Olmert shouldn’t be recognized and welcomed in Israel. Let him go back to jail where he belongs. Jonathan Pollard is a yid who has a connection with Eretz Yisroel and therefore deserves to live in Eretz Yisroel. This country doesn’t belong to that sad excuse of a prime minister.
I have a better idea. Take Pollard in and throw out this lowlife and 9 of his lowlife friends.
We’d rather see Ehud Olmert back in prison for driving out thousands of Jews from Amona and for being an accomplice in Ariel Sharon’s crime of ousting almost 10,000 Jews from Jewish settlement Yehudah & Shomron.
A Real Zionist !
These bankrupt politicians.
Olmert has a problem with because Pollard became frum and Olmert is an OISWORF who HATES frum yidden…
Yeah, and Olmert was also a Zionist who was bribed for a lot of money
the only reason he needs to go to israel is to be with his wife. otherwise, israel sold him down the river
and who asked you?!?!?! Let the guy live out the rest of his life with his eishet chayil in eretz hakodesh. i agree no need for public fanfare, that can be kept to a minimum, but have some rachmanus on a guy who suffered for so long.. everyone makes mistakes.. ESPECIALLY olmert!
Olmert should stay in jail.
Ehud Olmert Self hating jew. Go back to prison & get lost.
You, crook, go back to your jail cell! Look who’s talking!
“With all due respect, I would prefer that he not move to Israel,” Olmert said. “We don’t owe him anything…He was an American who loved Israel and worked for a lot of money, spying for Israel.”
Cuomo and de Blasio have displayed more integrity than this _______ (adjective) _________ (noun).
Olmert and Pollard.
One is a cowardly traitor and the other one enhanced Israel’s security.
Which one should have a say?
Does Pollard know something that Olmert is afraid will get out?
Since when did he start discouraging Aliyah?
what happened to the 14 responses?
never mind; they suddenly reappeared
Okay
Olmert is sick in the head and belongs in prison!
Good grief.
So glad that all of us Yidden getting along so nicely with only nice things to say. Masks vs no masks, Biden vs Trump tried to split our achdus, good to see it failed, that we learned our lesson and only speak nicely about other Yidden.
What are YOU doing on the internet?!
Olmert is a dirt bag thief and traitor
