(t) 1986 Delta Air Lines, Inc. 62' Friday, December 12, 1986 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS CAPITOL REPORT Pollard Denies Existence Of U.S. Jewish Spy Ring T he U.S. Justice Depart- ment has been trying — so far unsuccessfully — to get convicted Israeli spy Jonathan Jay Pollard to im- plicate other American Jews and Jewish organizations in alleged Israeli espionage ac- tivities in the United States. But Pollard, according to informed sources, has stead- fastly rejected Justice Department insinuations that a broader Israeli spy net- work was operating in the United States. "Pollard has not implicated anyone else," one informed source close to the investiga- tion said. Since his arrest, he has been repeatedly and sharply questioned by an assortment of federal pro- secutors, law-enforcement of- ficers and intelligence officials. They have been focusing their investigation into the activities of several national Jewish organizations. American Jewish leaders are deeply aware of the suspi- cions among some senior Justice Department investi- gators that Pollard may have been part of a wider Israeli es- pionage operation in the United States. The Jewish leaders have strongly denied that any such network exists. They have, however, pri- vately expressed concern that Pollard, during the course of extensive questioning and under a great deal of pressure, may make some statement to back up this allegation. Their fears have been aroused by the prevailing impression in the Jewish community that Pollard was supposedly somewhat unstable. Their concern seems to have been further strengthen- ed because of the deep per- sonal bitterness and disap- pointment he expressed dur- ing an exclusive interview at the Petersburg federal prison in Virginia. It was the first time Pollard has spoken out since his arrest one year ago outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington. He told a very sad story with broad implications for Israel and American Jewry. He deserves greater support from Israel and more understanding from the American Jewish community. Pollard said he was "befuddled" and "heart- broken" by the decision of the Israeli government and the American Jewish community to effectively abandon him since his arrest. "I feel the same way that one of Israel's pilots would feel if after being shot down, nobody made an effort to come get him," he said. "Not even lifted a finger — in fact, questioned his abilities and his motivations." Yet during the interview, he still proclaimed his deep love for Israel and for Jews everywhere. He said he still hoped to make aliya one day and to live "a productive life in Israel." Wearing a light khaki, short-sleeve prison shirt and darker khaki trousers, he said, "As far as I am con- cerned, I am as much a loyal son to that country as anybody has ever been...I did my best. I'm sorry if I wasn't the most effective from a In his first interview since his arrest a year ago, Pollard proclaimed his deep love for Israel and Jews everywhere. long-range standpoint. But I did my best." His big mistake, he said, was in not making aliya before entering into the es- pioniage operation with the Israeli officials. He said he had contemplated aliya since the 1967 Six Day War, when he was 13 years old. "My heart has always been in the East," he said. In recent days, several Israeli officials in Washington have expressed their personal view that the Israeli govern- ment did indeed behave less than honorably toward Pollard and his family over the past year. He was a devoted agent who provided Israel with very important in- formation, they confirmed. But they noted that the government was primarily concerned about the "bigger" issue of U.S:Israeli relations rather than the fate of Pollard. By abandoning Pollard and cooperating with the U.S. investigation — to the point of even providing evidence against him — Israel hoped to limit the damage to its relationship with the U.S. Israeli officials expressed confidence that the Israeli government would eventually take some steps to help Pollard and his family, especially with the enormous legal costs they have amassed. But Pollard felt betrayed by the official Israeli reaction. "By avoiding the issue," he said, "all Israel is doing is leaving an unburied body to rot and stink and foul the air...I'm tired. I'm frustrated. I'm scared as hell for myself and my wife. I just want to end this:' For his own protection, Pollard has been isolated in a six foot by nine foot cell at the maximum security pri- son. He has received numerous threats from white r/
