There's an instinctive reflex against this guy because he was a spy for the enemy of his people and nobody likes them. A sort of Pollard only in reverse with a twist.

A gentle man without political skills but was friendly to Israel.geoffffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10056725010151459750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5292536695398683203.post-58143854101161016852012-06-22T03:24:54.801+10:002012-06-22T03:24:54.801+10:00Brave guy... and dead man walking.
