News About Pollard: A Cautionary Note
Justice4JPnews - July 20, 2015
A spate of hastily-written, poorly-researched and deeply inaccurate news reports about the status of Jonathan Pollard which have been published lately do a disservice to Jonathan Pollard and to readers. Judicious readers should be cautious not to allow their understanding of the Pollard case to be tainted by unfounded speculation and utter nonsense.A case in point: recently, a widely-circulated report by the Israeli online news source YNET was so riddled by gross distortions and outright errors as to be more fantasy than fact.
A dead give-away of how deeply flawed the article was, was YNET's pompous assertion that Pollard received and is serving " a 30 year sentence". Nonsense!
As is well known, Pollard is serving a LIFE SENTENCE! If Pollard were serving a 30 year sentence, mandatory parole would have occurred 10 years ago!
This was just one of many serious errors in a deeply flawed YNET "news" report which unfortunately was imitated and reprinted by others.
