BACKGROUND: As an Israeli agent, Jonathan Pollard transferred vital
security information to Israel which the US was obliged to share but was
deliberately withholding. The information being withheld from Israel
included Syrian, Iraqi, Libyan and Iranian nuclear, chemical, and biological
warfare capabilities - being developed for use against Israel. It also
included information on ballistic missile development by these countries and
information on planned terrorist attacks against Israeli civilian targets.
When Pollard discovered this suppression of information and asked his
superiors about it, he was told to "mind his own business", and that "Jews
get nervous talking about poison gas; they don't need to know." He also
learned that the objective of cutting off the flow of information to Israel
was to severely curtail Israel's ability to act independently in defense of
her own interests. The median sentence for the offense that Jonathan
committed (passing classified information to an ally) is 2 to 4 years.
Jonathan is the only person in the history of the US to receive a life
sentence for this offense. He is currently serving his 23rd year of a life
sentence in a federal prison in Butner, North Carolina, with no end in
sight. For Futher information see The Facts Page
