Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu spoke on Tuesday evening with Esther Pollard, wife of Jonathan Pollard, following the announcement of Pollard's parole.

"After decades of effort, Jonathan Pollard will finally be released. Throughout his time in prison, I consistently raised the issue of his release in my meetings and conversations with the leadership of successive U.S. administrations. We are looking forward to his release," Netanyahu said.

Earlier on Tuesday it was announced that Pollard, who has spent 30 years - half his life - in an American prison on charges of spying for Israel, will be released on Friday, November 20.

The announcement is official confirmation of reports that indicated Pollard would be freed in November during parole talks required by the terms of his incarceration. His release was to be on November 21, but was moved up a day so as not to conflict with Shabbat.

Netanyahu is looking forward to Pollard's release. How many leaders of democracies openly state that they look forward to a convicted spy's release?

1. But it's Netanyahu..you know...he's special. But I think Pollard will not be able to leave US

unless they smuggle him out.

2. But Netanyahu is our friend.

3. Gee. Do you think that Leonard Peltier will get out now? Oh shit. I forgot. We owe

Israel for fucking them over with the Iran deal. We don't owe nuthin' to the Sioux.


















Yes, Martha, the part about not owing nothin' to the Sioux is sarcasm. The rest isn't.
