Je relaie cet article émanant des comités de soutien au Prisonnier de Sion, Jonathan Pollard, qui établit un lien entre le procès dont il a fait l'objet et la récente affaire Larry Franklin, cet analyste du Pentagone, chrétien irlandais choqué par l'antisémitisme de ses commanditaires du FBI, lui ayant demandé d'espionner l'AIPAC aux Etats-Unis. La ligne de plaidoyer de Jonathan Pollard est simple : au-delà des faits qui lui ont été reprochés et pour lesquels il a amplement payé ces 25 dernières années, l'acharnement dont il est la proie relève du même antisémitisme paranoïde des services intérieurs américains. Il témoigne qu'il lui a été également, comme à Franklin, demandé de pointer du doigt le nom des membres des groupes de lobbying pro-israélien qu'il pourrait mouiller dans une sombre affaire d'espionnage, afin de faire tomber ces organisations qui bénéficient des règles de lois en vigueur en Amérique pour faire valoir la cause qu'ils défendent (lobbying). En l'échange de quoi, dit-il, ses tourmenteurs lui promettaient de trouver un compromis acceptable quant à la peine à vie qui lui a été infligée, lors de la révision à charge de son procès. Ayant refusé de tels marchandages, Pollard est encore aujourd'hui en voie de passer le reste de ses jours en prison. A tout le moins, réclame t-il un soutien sans concession de la part de l'AIPAC qui vient de subir cette opération d'espionnage de la part du FBI. Au lieu de quoi, il lui semble que l'AIPAC interprête les Affaires Franklin-Rosen-Weissman comme la "conséquence" de l'Affaire Pollard précédente, les services américains étant subitement devenus paranoïaques, alors que lui-même se perçoit comme la victime de cette paranoïa obsessionnelle antisémite... L'Affaire Franklin permettrait-elle de relancer la révision des procès dont a fait l'objet Jonathan Pollard? A ce stade de raison d'Etat, il est permis d'en douter, l'AIPAC ou le Congrès Juif Mondial étant trop heureux de sortir indemnes du piège tendu par le contre-espionnage américain...
