In an exciting post written by Ortal Tamam, the niece of the soldier Moshe Tamam the 14th, it was revealed that Jonathan Pollard He could have been released from the American prison as early as 2013, but he refused because he was not willing to be released by terrorists in return.

Goodwill terrorist release

In 2013, the Palestinian Authority demands that the United States cause Israel to release hundreds of security prisoners (click on the link to the article from those days) as a “gesture of goodwill” from the then prime minister – Netanyahu: “How much did that make sense to me? To Promote Feminism “Tamam wrote.

Two beats of prisoner release passed quietly and under the radar. In anticipation of the third revelation of the release of the terrorists, Ortal decided to protest in front of the Prime Minister’s House. This is how the media was exposed to the matter, and thousands of Israelis joined the struggle.

Despite the protest, the decision has already been made, and the third pulse of the release of the terrorists has also come to fruition. Towards the release of the fourth group, the interested media atmosphere reaches as far as America, and it is clear that this cannot be allowed to happen just like that.

Americans use doomsday weapons

To make sure the terrorists were released, an offer came from the United States – in exchange for the fourth beat, Pollard was released. “I remember the moment I realized in the WhatsApp group that the offer was passed on to the person closest to Pollard,” Ortal wrote, “it was the moment I realized there was no more hope. What person, no matter how valuable, would say no to his own release, after years in prison? “Living with his wife in the country for which he paid such a huge price?”

In Israel, the offer was accepted. The Israeli government has approved the release of the terrorists in exchange for Pollard’s release. But in spite of everything – he himself was the one who torpedoed the move. “Jonathan Pollard himself, refused. On the same day, he was sentenced to life imprisonment. All this so that terrorists would not be released for his release,” Tamam writes.

“Jonathan Pollard, who spent most of his adulthood in the most secure federal prison in the United States, in solitude and under the closest supervision, refused to be released so as not to give legitimacy to a deal that includes the release of terrorists. Because the State of Israel is more important to him. “

Instead of getting out of jail, Jonathan Pollard sent activists from his release headquarters to demonstrate along with opponents of the release of the terrorists.

A man who is a pure heart

Tamm arrived at the sheaf of the late Esther to thank her and her husband for the noble choice: “Hi Jonathan, I am Ortal, the niece of the soldier Moshe Tamm. I came to say a big thank you to you and Esther, “she told him.

Pollard replied, “I know very well who you are. Know that this was not even a question for us. As the offer came up, Esther called me and asked, ‘How are you going to say no to them?’. The option to say yes was not on the table at all. But The only question is how to say no. “

We can only add, that we have been privileged that such a special person is a part of our people, and I wish we all learned from him even a little.
