Since Israel Betrayed Pollard, not One Israeli Captive has Come Home Alive

Press Release

14 Elul, 5769 (Sept. 3, '09)

It is commendable that the State Comptroller has decided to probe the Pollard situation. But those who are willing to face the truth do not need his investigation. The State of Israel has consistenly betrayed its agent; it has never officially requested his release from prison. Israel's message to the US is clear. "We would prefer that Pollard die in your prison."

Since Israel betrayed Pollard 24 years ago, not one Israeli soldier has returned home alive from captivity. Israel's lack of values in the Pollard affair has brought it to a low point from which it can no longer protect its soldiers, who daily risk their lives for their country.
