jonathan pollardEarly this morning, Jonathan Pollard was released in North Carolina after 30 years in a prison.

Pollard is a former U.S. Navy analyst who was arrested in 1985 for stealing secrets for Israel. He eventually reached a plea deal with federal prosecutors, and he received a life sentence in 1987. Today, Pollard was released from a federal prison in Butner, N.C., where he served the bulk of his jail term.

Matzav.com was the first news source worldwide to report on Pollard’s release on parole based on information received exclusively this past summer.

Pollard will be required to wear an ankle monitor while he completes five years of parole in the United States.

Now at 61, early half of Pollard’s life was spent in prison.

Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu hailed his release on his verified Twitter account.

“The people of Israel welcome the release of Jonathan Pollard,” Netanyahu said. “May this Sabbath bring Jonathan Pollard much joy and peace that will continue in the years and decades ahead.”

  1. I guess Joe Biden and Joe Lieberman are eating crow this morning. Remember, it was them who said regarding Pollards release, NOT OVER MY DEAD BODY. You Jewish Democrats have very short memories. Good luck with Hillary.

  2. Agree with number 2
    He admitted to shopping the intelligence around to other countries besides Israel
    It never makes us look good when we publicly take up the cause of the guilty
    I never get involved with these cases
    Not Pollard not the boys in Japan
    It’s a chillul hashem to publicize these things. Any wheeling and dealing should have been kept behind closed doors

  3. Sally, take your meds and be quiet. Goyim will always hate us just because we exist – kissing up often makes them hate us even more.

  4. #2 & #4, Nobody is turning him into a hero! Yidden are happy he was freed! Whether or not he committed a crime is not the discussion – HE CERTAINLY DID MORE TIME THAN ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL who committed similar crimes. Additionally, although he did not the authority to pass the info, all agreed then that info was extremely crucial to an ally and by alliance agreement it was coming to them. He wasn’t authorized to pass it: so for that he had to sit for life? 11 years in solitary confinement?
    That’s ridiculous and an aberration of American law, as described by all the legal experts who have so toiled to gain his release all these years!
    Do some thinking and a little teshuvah to go along!
