Richard Stone and Malcolm Hoenlein, the chairman and the executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, recently visited convicted Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard at Butner prison in North Carolina. The two U.S. Jewish leaders talked with Pollard for two hours. Following the meeting, the two expressed concern about Pollard's deteriorating health condition. "We've returned with a renewed commitment to work for Pollard's release," the two wrote in a statement after the visit. "We see this as a serious humanitarian issue and as a matter of justice." "Mr. Pollard suffers from multiple health challenges, which we believe add urgency for his release," the statement read. Stone and Hoenlein noted that Pollard reiterated to them that he regretted his actions and that he expressed the desire to be released from prison, build a family and be an active citizen. Activists for Pollard's release said that the visit was the first of a series of planned visits by American Jewish community leaders intended to express to importance and urgency they see in having Pollard released from incarceration by U.S. President Barack Obama. Recently, calls for Pollard's release have increased amongst current and former U.S. officials as well as leaders of the American Jewish community. Pollard was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1986 after being convicted of spying for Israel.

Let the spy rot in prison where he belongs.
Kind of hate to see him die though. His case and his 'supporters' need all the exposure they can get, imo.
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
Absolutely.
Nice to see you anti christ devils have a sacrificial jew to vent your hate upon !
If you ... don't use exclamation points --- you should't be typeing ! Commas - semicolons - question marks are for girlie boys !
Interesting, Boris, as I sure don't hate people of Judaism. I don't like spies who steal top secret information and supply it to unauthorized people though. You bet your ass I don't like them.
And then sell that info to the Russians....;} But let the Israeli Firsters keep comin'.
Pollard would make a better President then Obama.
Great, and I suppose you'd rather have Charles Manson baby sit your kids instead of Michele Obama as well. There is little to you except poisonous hatred that makes you impossible to deal with. A traitor is a traitor, and this one belongs in his cell until he stops breathing. What you can't understand is I don't hate Pollard, it is what he's earned, and that example keeps others from stealing state secrets better than rewarding treasonous behavior.
Obama is more of a traitor then Pollard ever could dream of being. He has betrayed everyone in this nation. Whatever Pollard deserves Obama deserves 10000000000000000000000000000 fold.
Oops my bad. I left out 2 zeros at the end of my last comment.
He has betrayed everyone in this nation. Whatever Pollard deserves Obama deserves 10000000000000000000000000000 fold. Why do you stick up for traitors who are convicted felons. Are you Bibi's flunky?

libertysflame.com/cgi-bin...72&Disp=112&Trace=on#C112 #70 I gave you my answer but you didn't like it. Too bad Mr Manipulator. But does that mean you must stick up for traitors now?

Then where are your articles of empeachment? This House is poisonous to try such a gambit if they had standing, but they don't, thus your hyperbole is nonsense.
Tell him how to spell that word.
Here is a question for you, Stone; the Bible is clear that God demands the poor be cared for - if one poor person dies as a result of right wing Christian's successful campaign to shrink government aid to the poor, are YOU then guilty of murder?
He who knows best knows how little he knows. Thomas Jefferson We probably will see widespread civil disorder in the 1980s, as a direct result of our faltering economic system. Ron Paul
No. The Bible does want us to help out the poor. But people are responsible for themselves ultimately. Hence the part in the word of God about people who don't work don't eat.
Then why did God give manna to the Israelites?

I bet Stone wouldn't even help some poor pregnant poor woman.

How do you define work?

He'd find some Biblical justification for his neglect.

I never wrote a dictionary. But I know what work is and so do you.
Sounds like you are judging me without knowledge about me.
I don't know how YOU define work.

Judging without knowing doesn't seem to bother you when you're doing the judging. This is your forum, Stone - lead by example.

This is your forum, Stone - lead by example. I probably do that sometimes. But I think I keep it pretty much based on actions or comments. I disagree with you on a whole host of issues. But you hold your own here and are mostly respectful with everyone you agree with or disagree with.
You judge constantly, liar. LOLOL.

Based on comments and actions. Mostly.
Certainly not when it comes to the subject of abortion.

That would be an action. If you support murdering babies it is a persons duty to speak out against it. We are called to judge righteous judgement. If someone is in favor of abortion. You can make certain determinations about their character. That is based on their words and actions.
That rationale allows you no responsibility for your own actions, something you said up thread that God would not approve of.

You support murdering poor people. Removing what little social support there is, is an action. Not supporting universal health care is an action.

You said you wouldn't dirty your pretty little fingernails helping some poor pregnant destitute woman out, so until you decide you will be a person of charity towards others YOU have no right to judge that person's ability to make decisions for themselves.

That is insane. You are entitled to the fruits of your own labor and no one else's. You are saying people have a right to the money or productivity of other people. That isn't the case. It is called stealing. People should help out those who are less fortunate. It just shouldn't be at the point of a gun and jail.
You're a liar. Show where I said any such thing. You can't, I didn't.
You refused to respond so I can only go by the examples you set on this forum . I'm not responsible for the example you set.

I didn't refuse to respond. I just refused to respond until you respond to something I asked first. It is only fair.
