2. freedome to Vanunu
(04.30.07)
He is a very courageous man full with truths that hurt
3. If he had been in an Arab or Communist (Soviet or China)....
Adam ,   Manchester   (04.30.07)
....then he would have had 'an accident' when he was caught. He would have 'disappeared'. This is the price of being a Democratic State. Humanitarianism.
4. Yet Another Reason...
Erik   (04.30.07)
Why Israel needs to impose capital punishment.
5. Hypocricy
Andrew Yau ,   Singapore   (04.30.07)
...just when Israeli leaders are decrying Iran's allegeg tinkering with the atom, Vanunu reappears to show the hypocricy of the Middle East's only nuclear power.

we would create a saint from this monkey for nothing

"right of return" will not work Arabs homeland is Saudi Arabia
8. Vanunu should be in jail forever
Gary A. MD ,   Boston USA   (04.30.07)
Israel has lost it's will. Bums like Vanunu use the system like it is a joke, and our once proud military has been turned into a joke by the two morons Peretz and Olmert. Vanunu is a bum, Peretz is an idiot and Olmert is too stupid to do anything.
9. Vanunu and Capital Punishment
Rustum ,   London, UK   (04.30.07)
To those total morons advocating capital punishment as a fitting reward for brave people who tell the truth, you are living in the wrong world. You should have been born in a good totalitarian state and then your death wishes would have been fulfilled. You could have seen Rostropovitch executed for anti-state activiteis, Vaclav Havel executed for anti-state activities, and a whole long list of other heros of freedom. It is sickening, time and time again to read the epithets applied to this man. #6 calls him a monkey (a racial epithet usually applied by the bigots to AHmedinejad). However, as Vanunu is of Moroccan Jewish origin, perhaps the Ashkenazi racists are letting slip more than they intended with this animal-simile. In fact, Vanunu has already suffered more than enough. Drugged and kidnapped, years of solitary confinement and a gagging order, plus the revocation of his freedom to travel now that he has served his prison service. All punishments which might be more readily associated with Burma or North Korea and not with the free and democratic state of Israel. Add to that the whole Mormon Tabernacle Choir of posters calling for his death... for what? For speaking over the internet? What sort of world do you death-lovers live in? Death for speaking? Wow.
10. Stuff it, Rustum (9).
sk ,   USA   (04.30.07)
Capital punishment for treason has been considered fitting since the birth of modern democracy (in the US, of course). The difference between a democracy and a totalitarian regime is that few things receive a death penalty, that due process is standard, and that citizens have the power to change the law. How could you live in the second oldest continuously function democracy (UK) and not understand something so basic. Anyway, we both know you'd prefer sharia.
11. Vanunu
Jeremy ,   Hula Valley Kibbutz   (04.30.07)
Vanunu is no different than Tali Fahima, once a traitor always a traitor. Maybe, this time he will be locked up for good

He is FREE. He was always free, including when he betrayed the Jewish People and Israel.
13. a racial epithet usually applied by the bigots to AHmedineja

you really did not read your Qu'ran especially the part about Jews and X-ians, or sons of pigs and monkeys You are the hypocrit, Rust
14. I amd an American woman
Samantha ,   USA   (04.30.07)
I am an American women of 57 years of age and I am not bad looking for my age, once I remove the little mustache. I also have all me bits in the right place but the majority now pointing south Now, I was never married and I never found the right man, and I would like to meat this Marmaduch Vanunu because he looks like a manly bloke and he might be my last chance. So please Israel, let my future husband free and let him come to the USA to make this girl really chaffeed I am going to write to him soon and send him my picture the way I used to look back in the 70's o' I was a girl then, but that is for another talk back.
15. marmaduc vanuatu is a good man
rashid ,   palistinian   (04.30.07)
an honest man believe me and a man of the cloth, and he should get mega respec and lots of biggin up. anyway, he and the rest of the zionst should go back to russia from where they come from and give the land to the original peaple like me believe me the day will come
16. #10 and comments
Rustum ,   London, UK   (04.30.07)
You understood nothing of my comment. 1) Capital punishment is barbarian and those calling for capital punishment are latter-day barbarians. That includes many posters to Ynet news. 2) The call for capital punishment for Vanunu from people here has not been for his past "crime" - he has served his time for that. Those calling for his capital punishment wish it because he has opened his mouth. Now defend that! Enjoy watching your next state-sponsored execution barbecue in the glorious US. As you well know, all civilised countries have banned capital punishment - except the US, China and a few other retrograde states. Now I'd like to hear how you can justify the calls for capital punishment for Vanunu for breaking his "gagging order"? Or perhaps addressing the issue, as opposed to writing base insults to me, is more than your grey matter can handle.

Rustum ,   London, UK   (04.30.07)
Do give it a break mate. Go look in a mirror.
18. May he rot in hell next to all Arab terrorists
Jack ,   USA   (04.30.07)
19. Rustum - you are a pathetic demagogue!
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (04.30.07)
And you're spending too much time spilling venom in (anti)Israeli forums. What's the matter? Don't you have your hands full with racism in the UK? If you think you've seen all that's to be seen just wait a little longer - just until the fundamentalist Muslims will hang the Islam Flag on the Big Ben. Leave us alone - you've got more problems that you think! So mate - YOU should look in the mirror before somebody there breaks it in your face! I guess that a talkback from you is not required anymore. Your demagogy is transparent and your lies all to obvious. Give the people here a bit more credit than to those who surround you. Go find a more simpathetic forum for your racist and imbecile rants!
20. Andrew, read your history
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (04.30.07)
Judging by your spelling you do not seem to be on the bright side of the street - considering that English is the official language of Singapore. I also dig that you do not care too much for facts - like Iran calling for "wiping Israel off the face of the Earth" or threatening its neighbors or supporting international terror and groups like Hezbollah which is defined by Singapore too, as a terrorist organization. But why bother you with facts when the only thing that seems to matter for you is spitting on Israel regardless of the truth. "Andrew" - I know that there are a few bad apples in Singapore - I've met some myself - but do your country a favor - don't "export" that part of Singapore. That unless you don't like Singapore too.
21. #19 is personally offensive
Rustum ,   London, UK   (04.30.07)
and goes way beyond the rules of YNET'#s posting guidelines. "look in the mirror before somebody there breaks it in your face" I believe is a personal threat and I look forward greatly to your abject and cringing apology. Do you have anything of worth you wish to state? Or do you wish simply to pile more oppobrium onto me? Thanks, in any case, for your kind thoughts and for your deep and abiding interest in an open debate.
22. Rustum - you just proved what I was saying
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (04.30.07)
Hey - are you trying to intimidate, beside insulting people arond here? First you tell Jews to "look in the mirror" and see that they are really "monkeys and pigs" and now, livin up to the image you project here, you're whining for the protection of the "forum rules". Well, you cannot have both, you know - you cannot expect people to swallow your insults and then get a silk-gloves treatment. BTW - if you would have invested the minimal effort to actually UNDERSTAND what I was trying to put into that thick head of yours by "...break it into your face..." you would have discovered that I was referring that some of the Muslims in the UK will be doing that while you are busy enlightening us with your "wisdom" (NOT!). So calm down - that was not a threat from this direction; no effort will be spent chasing you on the streets of London. It was merely a warning to watch your back at home from the direction you're actually simpathizing with, and leave us alone to take care of our own problems. As for "things worth saying" - your rants do not count. I would actually ask you - why the heck are you dealing with this issue at all? But then again, the mere fact that you take the time and effort and spill your venom here, cleverly disguised as "things worth saying" just proves that you have an ulterior motive. No Sir! You do not really care about "democracy" or other natural rights! You care more about recklessly attacking Israel and putting US and China in the same bucket. Are you doing teh same in Iranian forums? Are you doing that in Muslim forums too? Are you the Kinght on a White Horse you want us to think you are? Of course you are not! We know the likes of you. We know what hides behind that "intellectual" facade. Do yourself a favor and leave us alone! And DO let the door hit you on the way out!
23. to #4 You are right
jason white ,   afula,israel   (04.30.07)
but they should use it on this traitor's whole family. Along with the rest of the traitors like klingberg,ect.
24. Vanunu convicted of violating military order
Louise Gerber ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (05.01.07)
Let me go, let him leave the country, he is nothing but a traitor and we don't need him here. We already have enough of these kind of people. Maybe, he would like to return to his place of birth, or any other country near it. He is just a waste of time.
25. Once more, the depravity of zionism is revealed
Menno ,   The Netherlands   (05.06.07)
I've said it on this forum before and I'll say it loudly again: one day, this hero will be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Do you know that he has been nominated several times for this award?
26. By the way....
Menno ,   The Netherlands   (05.06.07)
This case reveals the joke that Israel is the 'only democracy in the region'. Democracies don't imprison their own citizens and forbid them to leave in violation of the UN Declaration of Human Rights. And democracies don't issue 'miltary orders' as if a junta runs the country. A wise Jew once said, 'By their fruits ye shall know them.' Keep revealing your fruits, Israel.
27. Mordechai Vanunu a traitor? No Way... a saviour more like it
Monique D'Hooghe ,   Brussels Belgium   (09.27.08)
