mikehall – First, legally, lack of knowledge and intent, (if proven,) means one DID NOT COMMIT THE CRIME!! Knowledge & intenet are vital components in the perpetration of a crime in any reasonable legal system. The only caveat is that this is not an excuse to be stupid and naive on purpose, etc, which these bochurim were clearly not.

Second, to those who support freeing Pollard for the RIGHT reasons, his religous affiliation at the time and the state of isreal haave no relevance whatsoever The gedolim support this tremendous mitzvah.
