\"\"<\/a>Ethnic cleansing advocate Alan Dershowitz is campaigning today for the release of arch spy Jonathan Pollard. In a commentary published on the repulsive Jewish media outlet <\/span>The <\/span>Algemeiner<\/span><\/a>, Dershowitz argues \u201cthe time has come\u2026for the United States to do the right thing with regard to Jonathan Pollard.\u201d<\/h5>\n
Dershowitz\u2019 argument is amusing as usual. \u00a0\u201cPollard poses no continuing danger to America, since he has not had access to our secrets for nearly 30 years.\u201d<\/h5>\n
Dershowitz, a Harvard law professor, should know that people occasionally remain locked behind bars for the crime they committed in the past rather than the crime they may not commit in the future.<\/h5>\n
For some peculiar reason Dershowitz also equates between Pollard and the Palestinian freedom fighters (whom he calls \u2018murderers\u2019), due to be released by Israel.\u00a0 \u201cUnlike the Palestinian prisoners who are to be released, he (Pollard) has expressed regret over his actions and has sought forgiveness.\u201d\u00a0 Dershowitz obviously fails to realise that freedom fighters and political prisoners don\u2019t tend to ask for forgiveness. Their action is the outcome of a legitimate struggle against oppression.\u00a0 However, Pollard, who was involved in an act of treason, falls into a different category altogether. Dershowitz and Pollard should accept that the act of asking for forgiveness doesn\u2019t necessarily lead to a pardon.<\/h5>\n
Dershowitz believes that the USA should release Pollard in an attempt to persuade the Israelis to \u2018vote for peace.\u2019 \u201cThe Israeli public will have to vote for any deal struck between Israeli and Palestinian negotiators,\u201d contends the \u2018best Jewish Lawyer in the world.\u2019 The Talmudic reasoning is quick to follow – \u201cthe outcome of such (Israeli) referendum will depend on whether Israeli voters believe that their security has been assured and that the United States continues to stand behind them.\u201d So here we are, America should let off an arch Israeli spy so the Israelis can vote for peace.<\/h5>\n
I think that Dershowitz\u2019 Talmudic orientation is indeed very impressive. However, being myself a product of Talmudic upbringing, I would actually go along with Dershowitz\u2019 suggestion. I would propose that the USA releases Pollard immediately under a strict provision \u2013 If the Jewish State votes peace as Dershowitz promises, Pollard would remain free. But if the Israelis fail to provide, if they vote against peace (as they usually do), then Pollard would be locked behind bars again as stipulated by his life sentence.<\/h5>\n
Such a condition would make the Israeli spy into a negotiation bargain for peace. If the Israeli people really want Jonathan free, as Dershowitz insists, they would have to choose peace for the first time.<\/h5>\n
I would love to know how Dershowitz can rescue his troubled case now.<\/h5>\n
