Pollard got off lightly his being Jewish is of no consequence though maybe Robinson should have recused himself I doubt any judge would have done any different he put more than 1 life at risk and even if it was just 1 a life sentance is appropriet and watching a movie? Thats a stupid arguement you dont know her motivations I watch movies Id rather not because its important to do so at times.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is an irreplaceable national treasure. There ought to be a law school or something else important named after her. Just amazing. Such a treat to hear her think.

  She’s anything but a natuonal treasure. She’s a self-promoting opportunist who has turned on Jews more than once. She threw Jonathan Pollard under the bus and passed over the very compelling evidence of misconduct by the Justice Department which led to the unfair and unwarranted life sentence by an already anti-semitic judge, Aubrey Robinson. If she’s such a treasure, and hero to Jews, ask her why she attended the premier of Klinghoffer, thus lending support to thus viciously anti-semitic project. A good person would have boycotted, not lent their support by buying a ticket and attending. By doing so, she lent her support to this horrible work.

    Have you actually seen Klinghoffer? It’s a work of art. It by no means justifies the actions of terrorists. It merely explores a tragic event and the circumstances surrounding it. There is not just one side to a story. Why don’t you see it before you judge it? Perhaps RBG wanted to be able to experience the work and judge its merit for herself? And by the way, it wasn’t the premiere (and ‘premiere’ is spelled with an ‘e’ in this situation).
