  1. President Obama has already said there will be no Pollard release in the near-future. He is not going to change his mind because of some “petition”. They should be focusing on Iran, Hamas and Syria, not Pollard. There is a finite limit on the number of issues that can be addressed. Lets concentrate on those issues which threaten Israel’s survival, not pushing for a political unrealistic agenda of releasig a convicted spy.

  2. #1: The opposite. The more Obama says no to certain things the more pressured he is to say yes to other things.
