Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were convicted of spying for the Soviet Union. Much publicity about their purported crimes insists on their innocence, as does a novel by EL Doctorow but declassified documents suggest otherwise.

Jonathan Pollard is a former intelligence analyst for the United States government. In 1987, as part of a plea agreement, Pollard pleaded guilty to spying for and providing top-secret classified information to Israel. He was sentenced to life in prison for violations of the Espionage Act. Pollard was released from prison in 2015.

USS Liberty Incident was an attack on a United States Navy technical research ship, USS Liberty, cruising in international waters, by Israeli Air Force jet fighter aircraft and Israeli Navy motor torpedo boats, on 8 June 1967, during the Six-Day War. The combined air and sea attack killed 34 crew members, wounded 171 crew members, and severely damaged the ship. The attack continued for hours and was clearly not a misidentification by Israeli forces.

Marco Polo Incident In February 1995 a magazine named Marco Polo (マルコポーロ), a 250,000-circulation monthly aimed at Japanese males, ran [after spending five months fact-checking it] a Holocaust denial article by physician Masanori Nishioka (西岡昌紀) which stated: "The 'Holocaust' is a fabrication. There were no execution gas chambers in Auschwitz or in any other concentration camp. Today, what are displayed as 'gas chambers' at the remains of the Auschwitz camp in Poland are a post-war fabrication by the Polish communist regime or by the Soviet Union, which controlled the country. Not once, neither at Auschwitz nor in any territory controlled by the Germans during the Second World War, was there 'mass murder of Jews' in 'gas chambers.'" The Los Angeles-based Simon Wiesenthal Center instigated a boycott of Bungei Shunju [by] advertisers, including Volkswagen, Mitsubishi, and Cartier. Within days, Bungei Shunju shut down Marco Polo and its editor, Kazuyoshi Hanada, quit, as did the president of Bungei Shunju [the publishing company that owned Marco Polo], Kengo Tanaka.

Thanks for this. I had never heard of Pollard or the Marco Pollo incident. Now wonder people are so afraid to run stories about holohoax.
