Surprise: Israel Radio urges Peres to consider boycotting Medal of Freedom ceremony over Pollard
In a surprising move, Israel Radio's morning drive time news anchor Aryeh Golan opened the 7:00 am newscast on Wednesday with a call for President Peres to 'consider' boycotting the Medal of Freedom ceremony in Washington in June unless President Obama brings about Jonathan Pollard's release. Veteran Israel Radio Morning News anchor Aryeh Golan openned the 7 AM news magazine with a call to President Peres to consider not accepting the Medal of Freedom from President Obama if Obama refuses to release Pollard. "It's only a piece of medal", Golan observed.I wonder whether President Hussein Obama would consider the votes that he won't gain as a result of having Peres in the White House to be votes he could gain by releasing Pollard.
On the other hand, that's probably a completely theoretical discussion. Peres is too big an egomaniac to pass on that ceremony.
By the way, as I have discussed many times, Israel Radio is very Leftist. The fact that they are joining the campaign to free Pollard is an indication that sentiment in Israel favors freeing him across the board.

Why would Peres do that?
HE was one of the main culprits in Pollard's arrest when he was tricked by Israeli officials to get out of the Embassy grounds to be arrested by the Feds...
President Peres has got to go get that medal... it's all part of the exchange for the "green" $billions that the "geniuses" are "winning".
