As the current round of peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians hit their nine-month deadline, the Obama administration introduced a Hail Mary-esque offer to keep the Israelis at the table: the release of Jonathan Pollard, a U.S. spy who provided intelligence to the Israelis and has been serving a life sentence since 1987.

Israel decided not to release 30 Palestinian prisoners last week, a provision of the current round of talks, because it first wanted a commitment from the Palestinian side that they would extend talks beyond the current April 29 deadline.

A U.S. official said Pollard is one of several options being considered in order to keep the Israelis at the table and give way to a diplomatic domino effect: Israel releases the prisoners and agrees to another item on the Palestinian “wish list” like a settlement freeze in the West Bank or the release of elderly and female prisoners in order to keep the Palestinians talking for another set period of time.

The Palestinians have threatened to seek full member status at the United Nations if Israel does not release this batch of prisoners.

Pollard has long been a cause célèbre for pro-Israel activists on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. In 2002, Benjamin Netanyahu, now the Prime Minister but who was then out of office, visited Pollard in his North Carolina prison.

I couldn't see the first site because:

Hello there, Mozilla Firefox user.​

Pardon this interruption of your TruthRevolt experience. Mozilla recently forced its CEO, Brendan Eich, to resign over his personal support for traditional marriage. The firing followed a vicious smear campaign against Eich by dating website OKCupid, in which OKCupid blocked Mozilla users from visiting their website.

We would therefore prefer that our users not use Mozilla software to access TruthRevolt, given Mozilla’s crackdown on political and religious positions held by millions of Americans.

thought experiment

if, some years from now, it is revealed through a foia request that manning's gender identity disorder was deliberately induced by hir captors for the purpose of manipulating public opinion about hir disclosures, would this affect how you view the 'legitimacy' of hir present gender. why or why not. show your work

no way. this was true among lefties but that was in reaction to mass derision. it gave people a great excuse to say that she was crazy/'just acting out' and not doing something political with the doc dump

i thought we were all supposed to be massively off-putting degenerate beardos and say that none of manning's successful propaganda and agitation against u.s. imperialism matters at all because the information went through glenn greenwald. give me a second to catch up.

I'm pretty sure that the last time this topic came up i suggested that it was shitty and dumb to act like nothing manning did mattered, and was roundly booed by more than one shitty and dumb post here at the Rhizzone where the entire criticism was that the mainstream media was talking about it so it wasn't hip enough to be important and was therefore part of a Jew Illuminati gay pride parade plan to distract from the Venezuelan success story or something.

while glen greenwald is probably an opportunist libertarian asshole



Glen Greenwald and Laura Poitras, the only two journalists in possession of Snowdens archive, are collaborating on a business venture with PayPal owner Pierre Omidyar. I believe the idea is to monetize leaks into a new edgy form of journalism.. makes a whole lot more sense as to why PayPal froze Wikileaks account since they would technically be the competition.
