Esther Pollard, wife of convicted Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard, issued a heartfelt plea to US President Barack Obama Monday, urging him ahead of his upcoming visit to Israel to free her husband.
“Mr. President, all Jonathan and I are asking
for is your compassion, your compassion and your mercy. People in this
world have all kinds of great dreams that they want to accomplish. The
greatest dream that Jonathan and I have is that he will be home for
Passover this year, to sit next to me at the Passover Seder, to drink
his cup of wine, finally, after 28 years, as a free man,” said Esther in
an interview to Channel 2 News. “We’re expressing our profound remorse
and sorrow for what has happened. We deeply appreciate your helping our
nation, our people Israel, to recover from this terrible tragedy, so
that we can move on in the strong friendship that has always existed
between our two countries. To do so we are asking for your compassion.
Please, please let Jonathan come home now for the Festival of Freedom
here in Israel.”...Read here...
