From news article:
Army Radio: U.S. Ambassador Dan Shapiro delivers latest request for Judea and Samaria building freeze during a visit with Interior Minister Eli Yishai • Ultra-Orthodox paper: U.S. may free Jonathan Pollard if Israel agrees to a construction freeze.

The U.S. has asked the Israeli government to initiate another settlement freeze in Judea and Samaria in order to help America's effort to thwart the Palestinian push for independence at the U.N. and expedite the possibility of resuming peace talks, Army Radio reported Thursday.

Israel stopped settlement building for 10 months in 2010, the first nine months of which the Palestinian Authority refused to return to talks, calling the freeze "irrelevant." However, as the freeze was entering its final phase, the PA demanded it be extended. Israel has long argued that a settlement freeze has not led to the desired result of getting the Palestinians back to the negotiating table, and that Palestinian intransigence on recognizing Israel as a Jewish state is the real reason for the diplomatic deadlock. Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said in response to the report that a settlement freeze is not a precondition to the resumption of talks, but an obligation the Israeli government has to carry out.

U.S. may free Jonathan Pollard if Israel agrees to a construction freeze. Way beyond funny.
America now joins the ranks of Jewish hostage takers..

Welcome to the Brotherhood Obama

Israel needs to Launch an Entebe style raid on American soil to rescue Pollard.

Why didn't they free him when we did the ten month freeze before?!?!

Why didn't they free him when we did the ten month freeze before?!?!

Because before Israel had not shown how weak it was.
Catch a Leprechaun and you get his pot of gold. Catch a Jew and name your price.
No closed season on Jews either.

I have to doubt they will ever free Pollard. There are too many people in the administration opposed to it.

If Pollard was not a Jew; he would have been freed by now. The fact that he aided Israel is a double whammy. If he was Muslim and spied for some oil rich state, he would have been released long ago; perhaps not even served time. Our kowtowing and spineless politicians should look in the proverbial mirror: admittedly they'd have to use a rear-view mirror to do so.
