Johnathan Pollard is moving to Israel

I have read some books about the Pollard case.  The argument has been made that he received such a severe sentence (compared to other espionage cases) to let the Israelis know that we were unhappy that they were running agents against us, their main source of financial support.

He should have spent the rest of his life behind bars.  Ditto for anyone who commits espionage against the U.S.

His US citizenship should be revoked.

As a matter of fact I think dual citizenship should be outlawed all together.

Just goes to show, blood is thicker than civic nationalism.  
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.
