We imagined that our last installment on the bogus one would be our last.
Alas, there must be another…
Jonathan Pollard continues to reveal his true colors to the Jewish world, this time via an interview with the Jerusalem Post.
If their reporting is accurate, Pollard intends to run for a Knesset seat in the next election. Why? Because he believes that’s the way a leader (which he considers himself to be) brings his goals to fruition.
And what are his goals?
Here’s the bogus one in his own words —
“My goal is to unite those in the ideological right who love Israel and want to contribute to the state. National service, whether in the IDF or another framework, is a critical issue for me. Everyone, without exception, must serve the state in some way.
If you 1) love Israel, and 2) want to contribute to the state, then Pollard’s your man. His goal is to get everyone to “serve the state” — without exception!
Why?
Because the state is meant to be served!
Or is the state meant to serve its citizens?
I’m sorry, I’ve forgotten.
Oh! — and weren’t Jews meant to serve G-d, and only G-d?
Hmm…
By the way, since when is “serving the state” a Jewish value?
Like what? — Like China?
Cuba?
North Korea?
Now, get a load of this —
He emphasized his stance that those who do not serve should not have the right to vote, adding: “You can pray and study Torah, but you cannot refuse to contribute to the state.”
Hold on a second, he’s going to let us pray and study Torah?
That option is open to us?
But service to the state is not optional?
That’s a must?
And if we don’t…?
Then we can’t vote!?
He thinks we care!
He actually believes we care about voting!
Sorry, Jonny-boy. We’ve been residents in the Land of Israel for nearly 25 years and we’ve never once cast a ballot.
So good luck with your threats.
Real Jews don’t waste time voting in Israeli elections.
And they couldn’t give a rat’s bucket if you deny them that right.
In case you hadn’t noticed, we’re not Americans, Jon-Jon.
And we serve only Hashem, Master of Legions.
You remember Him, don’tcha…?
The Guy who freed you from jail…?
Maybe try a run for the 26th district of NY. You know, Buffalo and thereabouts.
Where people care for such tripe.

Requisite disclaimer:
Yes, Jonathan Pollard suffered for over three decades because he’s a Jew.
And yes, he did the State of Israel and the Jewish people a tremendous tova, for which we should all be grateful.
And yes, he’s intelligent and well read in numerous fields.
What he lacks, however, is a yiddishe kopf.
G-d save us from the influence of these assimilated Americans.
Yes, the definite contradiction in the first quote you provide, between "want to" and "must" is telling.
