Jonathan is the only person in the history of the US ever to receive a life sentence for spying for an ally. This sentence has always been reserved for those who spy for America’s enemies. He received the life sentence without benefit of trial – the result of a broken plea bargain, which he honored and the US abrogated. By sentencing Jonathan as if he were an enemy spy, the American judicial system effected a de facto redefinition of Israel as an enemy, not an ally.
Now completing his 26th year of a life sentence, it is manifestly clear that the judicial process was hijacked by a political agenda.
