It has been a common mantra now–not for years, but rather decades–”Israel does not spy on the United States” and God help anyone who says different.

With the same kind of drama as Khrushchev’s infamous shoe-beating shtick at the United Nations half a century ago, the aforementioned vaudeville number began immediately after that “nice Jewish boy” Jonathon Pollard (working as an analyst for US Naval Intelligence) was caught pilfering and then selling to America’s “bestest buddy” in the whole world–Israel–close to 1 million pages of material with the highest classification that exists in the US intelligence community. Shortly after the theft of these secrets (an act making the Rosenbergs’ treason appear like mere petty thievery of two small-time Gypsy pick-pockets by comparison) the Jewish state then did what any “bestest buddy” would do to a friend who has supplied her with billions of dollars yearly and stood as the only barrier between her and a sea of oppressed, grieving Arabs who (for justifiable reasons) would love to see her wiped off the map–she sold them, to the Soviet Union of all places, America’s “worstest enemy“ in the whole wide world.

Do you think Pollard should be set free?
 
My general thought is that anyone who takes the time to write 5,000 words about "Jewry," as the author of that blog does, is probably a ****head.

Beyond that, I don't see why he should be set free.
 
Anyone caught spying on my country ought to be immediately prosecuted and put to death.

What about that Alex guy who was in the Manhattan Project, and then stopped the death of the world during the Cuban Missile Crisis? Had he not spied on us, and helped us, we might not have gotten the Atom bomb when we did, and we might have invaded Japan after all.

You need to read Richard Rhodes The Making of the Atomic Bomb and Dark Sun to learn something about nuclear history, and you need to read The Origins of War and the Preservation of Peace, by Donald Kagan, to gain an insight into the Cuban Missile Crisis.

I would, but frankly, I don't have enough time, or the patience for a debate online. Could you please just tell me what your points are?
