Subject: JEWISH PRESS CALLS FOR LIFE IN JAIL FOR POLLARD, BOYCOTT THE JEWISH PRESS
To:
[email protected] SHAME ON THE JEWISH PRESS!
The Jewish Press printed for the last two weeks articles calling for eternal imprisonment of Jewish and American hero Jonathan Pollard. The ex Director of the CIA, former Mayor Guliani and a whole slue of gentile political figures who were privileged to the “confidential” information on the Pollard case all call for his freedom. Yet two anti-Semites feel they know better and the Jewish Press has the nerve to print these articles. Below are the two articles letters.
We are calling for a boycott of the Jewish Press by all American patriots. Call and notify the advertisers to stop advertising in the Jewish Press or they will be boycotted too.
More information will be coming as the case develops.

No Sympathy For Pollard
By: Kenneth H. Barr
Jonathan Pollard’s accusations against Israeli President-Elect Shimon Peres are a laughable attempt to rewrite history (news story, June
.
Mr. Pollard was paid by the Israeli Secret Service to spy on the United States. It is suspected that other foreign powers also benefited from Mr. Pollard’s spying. Mr. Pollard was an American citizen, working in the Central Clearance Facility, Defense Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency. Very simply put, he committed treason against the nation to which he owed total allegiance, the United States of America.
The “communications secrets” Mr. Pollard admitted to trying to provide foreign – that’s right, foreign – governments were not merely innocuous Radio-Telephone Operator codes. The information he tried to acquire for his foreign masters was so delicate it carried the additional access restriction of “NOFORN,” meaning no foreign dissemination is allowed.
He used his position at CCF to identify personnel in sensitive duty position who are of the Jewish faith. He then contacted 31 of those service members (sometimes more than one contact was attempted) and offered sums of cash to turn over to him the sensitive material they had custodial custody of. All 31 reported his contacting them. That’s how he was caught. I should know. I was one of those 31.
At the time of the first contact, I was assigned as the Intelligence and Security Specialist to the 1st Battalion, 6th Field Artillery at Fort Bragg, NC. I served a total of 10 years, 2 months and 10 days on active duty service, first in the Field Artillery and subsequently as an Arabic linguist in Military Intelligence. I am a graduate of the Defense Language Institute, Foreign Language Center.
Mr. Pollard claimed we had a duty to Israel as well as the United States. As a member of the American Armed Forces, sworn to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, both foreign and domestic; and to bear true allegiance to the same...,” I had no such divided loyalties. Neither did my 30 colleagues. Our loyalty is, was and always shall be to the United States of America, first, last and always.
Israel is a foreign nation when it comes to classified material. It had no right to it. It still doesn’t, unless the classifying authority says it does. In the case of the material I was responsible for, that authority is the president of the United States and no one else.
Mr. Pollard is a traitor and deserves the punishment he is receiving. He is no better than the Walkers or Aldrich Ames. Any efforts to paint him in a heroic light are repugnant and a stain upon responsible American Jewry.
Same Old Arguments
By: Gershon Distenfeld
Hats off to Kenneth Barr for having the guts to say something that is so politically incorrect in our circles but that represents the true feelings of so many of us. Pollard is a traitor who deserves no sympathy from our community.
I’m sick and tired of hearing the same old arguments again and again about how he was given a much harsher sentence than others who have spied. That’s like saying we should set free a murderer because other murderers have been shown leniency in the past. We should be upset that others were not given harsher sentences, not the other way around.
In addition, I think it’s a huge chillul Hashem for this to be one of the highest priorities for organized Jewry. In a post-9/11 world, the very idea that one of our biggest rallying cries should be to set free someone who betrayed his country is nothing short of revolting.
As a community, there is no shortage of issues for which we should be lobbying. Freeing Pollard should not even be on the list, let alone toward the top.
