Israel treats people like animals, and its conduct towards the Palestinian constitutes a "Holocaust," nuclear whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu charged in an interview with Egyptian weekly al-Ahram.

 

"That's what Nazism did, and that's what Israel is doing to the Palestinians, and me," Vanunu said.

 

According to Vanunu, the Israeli government constantly mentions the Holocaust, but "then I arrived and made them see the real problem is Israel's atom bomb. That's the real Holocaust, and the attitude to the Palestinians."

The nuclear spy also issued a scathing attack on Israel's democracy and said the Jewish state creates problems for the entire world.

 

"The world moved towards freedom, democracy, liberty and equal rights, but then the State of Israel was established in 1948 and brought the world a type of negative democracy," he charged.

 

"In the name of national security, you can do whatever you want…limit rights, make up laws, punish without trial. This system destroys everything built by the world since Ancient Greece…," he said.

 

'Why don't we have God's number?'

 

However, Vanunu said he believes this state of affairs will not continue for long, while slamming Israel for increasingly becoming an apartheid state.

 

"They pretend they are a democracy, but one can see it's a state of Jewish racial supremacy. Yet I believe this will change in the future. The world will not be able to accept this. Had the Jewish people established a state a thousand years ago, we may have not been able to achieve the democratic principles in the world today."

 

Yet if attacking Israel was not enough, Vanunu found yet another target for his wrath – cellular phones.

 

"We have become dependent on cellular phones," he said. "You can talk with anyone on the face of this earth, but you cannot talk to God. Why don't we have his number?"

 

The nuclear whistleblower also vowed to keep on interviewing despite a court order that limits his dealings with the media. Notably, the al-Ahram interview joins a series of other interviews given by Vanunu to various foreign media outlets.

 

Several months ago, the State Prosecutor indicted Vanunu on charges of revealing details about his work in Israel's nuclear reactor in Dimona during interviews, in violation of the limits placed on him.
