JONATHAN POLLARD WAS NO JEWISH PATRIOT
By Eric Margolis
January 14, 1999
Miami - The case of convicted Israeli spy Jonathan Jay Pollard
has again reared its ugly head. American Jewish groups, Hollywood
celebrities, and Israel have renewed intense pressure on the
besieged Clinton Administration to free the man they call "the
Jewish Dreyfus." Pollard has served 13 years of a life sentence.
President Clinton is loath to antagonize America's politically
powerful Jewish community, which strongly supports the Democratic
Party. But the president is also under intense pressure from the
national security community not to free the Israeli spy. CIA
Director George Tenent recently threatened to resign if Pollard
is pardoned. Seven former US secretaries of defense, some of whom
are Jewish, also demanded Pollard remain in prison for life.
After years of denials, Israel finally admitted Pollard, a US Navy
civilian analyst, was not a 'rogue agent,' as it originally
claimed, but a spy for Israeli intelligence.
Pollard caused enormous damage to US national security. He gave
Israel top secret US military, intelligence, and diplomatic codes;
names of nearly one hundred of US agents in the Mideast, who were
then 'turned' by Israel; NSA code- breaking techniques and targets;
intercepts of foreign communications; and US war-fighting plans for
the Mideast.
According to CIA sources, Pollard provided Israeli intelligence
with names of important American agents inside the former Soviet
Union and Russia who had supplied information on East Bloc weapons
and war plans. How the agent's names were linked to the secrets
they supplied - a major breach of basic intelligence security -
remains a major mystery. Some of the enormously sensitive secrets
stolen by Pollard were reportedly either sold, or bartered, by
Israel to the Soviet Union.
A number of key CIA agents in the East Bloc were reportedly
executed as a result of Pollard spying. KGB likely gained access
to top-secret US codes - either directly from Israel, or through
spies in Israel's government. In short, Pollard's treachery caused
one of the worst security disasters in modern American history.
FBI investigators discovered Pollard was being directed to steal
specific secret data by a senior Administration official, known as
"Mr. X." But the White House, unwilling to stir up a domestic
political storm, quashed the investigation. To my knowledge,
three previous cases of high-ranking US government officials
caught passing top secret information to Israel have been similarly
hushed up. Two were senior defense department officials under
Reagan, one a top State Department official in a previous
administration. None were prosecuted.
Pollard's defenders claim he, like Capt. Dreyfus, is a victim of
anti-Semitism in the military. They maintain Pollard was 'only'
spying for a friendly country, motivated solely by concern for
Israel's security.
These assertions are patently false. Pollard was suspected for
some time of spying. Investigation was held off precisely because
of fears of raising cries of anti-Semitism. Pollard and his
accomplice wife took large sums of money and jewelry from Israeli
agents in payment for spying.
With remarkable chutzpah, Israel, which receives $4-5 billion in US
aid annually, refuses to return documents stolen by Pollard, or
allow US intelligence to debrief Mossad agents who ran Pollard in
order to learn the full extent of the disaster. While Netanyahu
kept calling for Pollard's release on "humanitarian" grounds, he
refused to free Israeli prisoner of conscience, Mordechai Vanunu,
now serving 18 years in solitary confinement in Israel for telling
a British newspaper about Israel's nuclear arsenal.
Pollard is no Jewish patriot. He is a grubby little traitor who
sold out his country, and fellow intelligence officers, for money,
then claimed he was being persecuted by anti-Semites.
Victim he is not. To the contrary, Pollard is a poster boy for
anti-Semitism. His treason exposes all American Jews to hate,
and accusations of doubtful loyalty.
Jonathan Pollard is a Judas - not a second Dreyfus - and should
stay in prison.
