I acknowledged that the act was criminal. Motives are not criminalised, acts are (that's right, right? You lawyers would know better than I). I stand as being fine with his motives and also with being against his acts (not dissimilar to how I feel about a parent of a child who is molested who then kills the molester).
Further, I am of the opinion, despite his motives and our alliance with Israel, that Mr. Pollard should serve out his fully sentence. In the US.
