Anwar al Awlaki was once a prolific American Imam. He was even encouraged by the American establishment to deliver speeches to teach the young Muslim Americans about how Islam's teachings were entirely against what Bin Laden did on 9/11. But eventually he turned against the American foreign policy of invading foreign lands and supporting states that killed innocent people. He moved to Yemen from where he would broadcast on YouTube his speeches filled with radical jiahdist thoughts calling on young Muslims inside America to wage jihad against the United States. He was called the Bin Laden of YouTube at the time. Awlaki was killed by the US drone strike ordered by Obama's CIA in September 2011, a few months after Bin Laden was killed.

There was another traitor inside America. He is still alive. His name is Jonathan Pollard. He was working in the CIA from where he secretly provided top secret intelligence to Israel. Specifically, he provided Israel Signals Intelligence details from the US Navy's Sixth Fleet, which was being used to spy on Soviet ships, planes and submarines in the Mediterranean sea. Before Israel, Pollard offered to sell American sensitive secrets to three other countries. And while selling it to Israel, he also sold them to a fourth country. Israel sold that information to the Russians, America's Cold War enemy.

Pollard was arrested by the FBI and spent years in prison for his actions working against the national security interests of the United States. Benjamin Netanyahu has been pressing for his release ever since. He pleased and lobbied with every American president ever since but never succeeded. Finally, Obama released him from Federal prison and Trump allowed him to travel out of the country. Israel gave him citizenship and gave him a hero's welcome inside Israel. An American traitor was welcomed as a hero inside Israel, a country that is sold as America's greatest ally.

Jonathan Pollard is Jewish and while sitting in Israel, he urges American Jews, especially those working in the US government with some kind of security clearance to betray their own country, America, and provide intelligence to Israel. His and many other prominent Americans' allegiance is not to America but to a foreign country, which never made sense to many.

Both Pollard and Awlaki urged young Jewish and Muslim Americans, respectively, to act against their country in service of some foreign country or cause, both rooted in some bigoted lies packaged as some kind of religious truism. Pollard wants young American Jews to protect the land that was promised to Jews 2000 years ago. Awlaki wanted young American Muslims to wage a holy war against their country in order to change the thinking and policies of the US government. Both jeopardised American national security. Yet, only one was killed by the US government, without any due process of law.

Imagine if Pakistan would have provided shelter to Awlaki by rolling the red carpet to give him a hero's welcome and awarded him citizenship. The western world would have lost its mind. They would be frothing with anger and making incessant noise about newly created phrases such as providing material support to terrorists. Harsh sanctions would be imposed on Pakistan and threats of attack would be issued every week. There would be daily drone strikes on Pakistani soil and daily demands of do-more to find and hand over Awlaki.

In a normal country both Pollard and Awlaki would be equally hated and punished. But in a country where lobbies exist to use money and connections so as to steer the elected officials away from the natural path of democratic action and toward the narrow interests of corporations and a foreign country, then we would observe exactly what happened with Awlaki and Pollard.

America is occupied by Israel through its lobbies and a complete chokehold over the media, academia, and everything between. How the two men were treated differently is only one of the many manifestations of this foreign rule over the USA.
