It's stunning the double standard that's applied to Israel by our country. A private citizen selling weapons to a foreign government without government permission would be considered treason. This isn't the only case either. Israel sank one of our ships for no reason during one of their wars against their neighbors and we didn't do anything to them. Could you imagine what would happen if a country like Egypt or Spain sank one of our ships on purpose?
This man deserved the punishment he received. He died in prison right where he belonged. Pardoning him, even posthumously, is an extreme insult to all the innocents who were killed with his planes.
