Professors for a Strong Israel

Statement to the Press - 10 September 2007


Re: Free Jonathan Pollard!

Professors for a Strong Israel held last week a public meeting on the subject of the continuing imprisonment of Jonathan Pollard in the United States. Two speakers — Asher Mivtzari, an activist working on redemption of captives, and Nitzana Darshan-Leitner, attorney and chair of Shurat Ha-Din - the Israel Law Center — revealed unpublished information regarding Pollard's history as an Israeli agent, how he was abandoned in the field, and his trial and 22 years of imprisonment. They also presented the long history of denial and lies on the part of Israel's leaders, some of whom (notably, Shimon Peres) continue to fill senior positions today.

Professors for a Strong Israel is committed to support further efforts to free Jonathan Pollard, soldier and patriot of Israel.
