New International Pollard Campaign Launched

 

Pollard, the ultimate gesture of friendship to People of Israel

 

Call President Barack Obama For Pollard Today!

 

When Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets with President Barack Obama on July 6, 2010, hopes are high that the date will prove to be an historic one for both countries. Anticipating that mutual goodwill will produce concrete efforts for reconciliation, many pray that the President will send Jonathan Pollard Home with Mr. Netanyahu.

 

POLLARD AS A GESTURE TO THE PEOPLE

The Israeli People have been waiting 25 years for Jonathan Pollard. Public opinion polls in Israel consistently show that the People of Israel see the return of Jonathan Pollard as a national priority, with 84% to 92% supporting initiatives to secure Pollard's release. No other issue enjoys such wall to wall support.

 

POLLARD IN SUPPORT OF ISRAEL

The American people, speaking through their elected representatives, want President Barack Obama to act in support of Israel.  87 Senators recently signed a letter to the president urging that he show support for Israel. 31 Jewish Congressman recently met with the President and they too urged that he show support for Israel. The return of Jonathan Pollard would be the ultimate gesture of support, welcomed and enthusiastically embraced by all the People of Israel.

OPPORTUNITY FOR FRIENDSHIP AND RECONCILIATION

"With Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu scheduled to meet with President Obama in Washington on July 6, this is a golden opportunity for a gesture of friendship and reconciliation to be made by releasing Pollard and sending him home to Jerusalem, to his wife and to his People," said Rabbi Pesach Lerner, the Executive Vice President of the National Council of Young Israel, and one of the driving forces behind the Pollard campaign.
