1. In ANY arab or islamic land this thing would've beenExecuted
G.G. ,   Malmo   (05.11.10)
Traitor to Israel & The Jewish People va-lunatic-nu would have been cut into pieces already. The nuclear DEFENSE deterrent has allowed our nation to EXIST, let alone SURVIVE all these years. It was the only SURE defense to prevent all out arab attack. This entity seeks destruction of the Jewish/Multi-culture state of Israel thus Israel should mete out this entity's destruction. End of speech.
2. I LEARNED NOT TO BELIEVE NEWS AS THE WAY THEY ARE.

POLITICAL PLAYS AGENT STORIES have a beautifull evening everyone. what :) I am not drinking ! I am just tired. but I am okay today.
3. Vanunu's physical safety
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.11.10)
He should have worried about that before committing treason. As if any self-respecting Jew would dirty their hands by touching him or even speaking to him. Give him a choice: three months of community service in West Jerusalem, or three years in prison.
4. To all you folks who love Vanunu so much...
Tahl ,   Ashdod   (05.11.10)
And who would surely call him a 'hero' here, and bemoan his 'persecution' by the undemocratic, fascist, Apartheid Israel. Based on your undying love for whistleblowers who spill military secrets, I want you to consider the following: 1. Ali-Reza Asghari, the Iranian nuclear scientist who defected to the west to spill his beans; 2. Jonathan Pollard, who provided crucial intel from the CIA to Israel, thereby helping it prepare better for the first Gulf War; 3. The numerous Lebanese citizens accused of revealing Hizbullah's secrets to Israel; and 4. Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of a senior Hamas leader (now a converted Christian, hiding in NYC) who spied for Israel and thereby foiled many terror attacks. These people, just like you'd reason with Vaanunu - all had noble causes, of stopping terror... So, why don't you embrace them as your 'heros' as well?

Well spoken....This ben z... should have been "taken out" a looooong time ago. The best thing that could happen in the future is for the media to keep silent when ever something happens to this monster...He doesn´t deserve even one micro second of attention
6. BETTER THAN MOAT ISRAELIS
Avi ,   NYC, US   (05.11.10)
I know Mr. Vaanunu well. We grew up together in shechuna dalet in Beer Sheva. He is an honorable person, which is more than I can say about most Israelis.

10. To: Tahl at No. 4
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.12.10)
One small correction -- Jonathan Pollard worked for Naval Intelligence. He applied to the CIA, but was turned down after he admitted to using drugs while in college and graduate school in the 1970s. (He is the reason why Israel can fire nuclear warheads from submarines.)
11. Solitary confinement for life is what he owes Israel.

12. A Traitor AND a Loser....who'd have thought?
Free Israeli News ,   Los Angeles, USA   (05.12.10)
This man betrayed Israel, the Jews and our security. Now he's too lazy and arrogant to serve his term properly. Cage him like the animal he is and be done with it. Hopefully, we won't have to hear anything about this simian again.
13. WAKE UP!
eileenfleming ,   USA MEDIA   (05.12.10)
The ‘justices’ refused Vanunu’s offer to do community service in occupied east Jerusalem, because they do not view that side of town to be a part of their community. In my series of interviews with Vanunu, beginning in 2005, told me: "The Israelis have 200 atomic weapons and they accuse the Palestinians and Muslims of terrorism. The Dimona is 46 years old; reactors last 25 to 30 years. The Dimona has never been inspected and Israel has never signed the Nuclear Proliferation Treaty but all the Arab states have. "Twenty years ago when I worked there they only produced when the air was blowing towards Jordan ten miles away. No one knows what is happening now. The world needs to wake up and see the real terrorism is the occupation and the Palestinians have lived under that terror regime for 40 years. "The only way to peace is peace; the only way is nonviolence. The only answer to Israeli nuclear weapons, their aggression, occupation and oppression, and the wall and refugee camps is to answer them with truth and a peaceful voice. When I became the spy for the world, I did it all for the people of the world. If governments do not report the truth, and if the media does not report the truth, then all we can do is follow our consciences. Daniel Ellsberg did, the woman from Enron did, and I did. “The United States needs to wake up and see the truth that Israel is not a democracy, unless you are a Jew. Israel is the only country in the Middle East where America can right now find nuclear weapons."

Ah yes, schuna dalet in Beer-Sheva, that bastion of drug dealers, petty criminals and assorted riffraff. No surprise you would meet Israel's traitor there and get to know him well.
15. Israel needs death penelty
Tomi ,   Serbia   (05.12.10)
Israel needs death penelty for terrorism, treason and espionage as well as for aiding enemy in the time of war
16. to #6 him and kam can sit side by side
ghostq   (05.12.10)
so honorable he stole something that can kill people. give it a rest, you can't hide the fact that he tryed to sell it for greed.
17. Vanunu finds much security in St George's
Dee ,   Tel Aviv   (05.12.10)
Where hate for the Jews and Israel is preached in the name of 'peace' and where "Christians" don't believe the Bible and promote the Kairos Palestine Document. This self hating Jew, just like the Neturei Karta is a threat to all Jews!
18. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
papihansi ,   The Netherlands   (05.12.10)
It's such a shame for all the money spent on this affair.
19. Greater and more moral than others
Avi ,   NYC, USA   (05.12.10)
I know Mr. Vaanunu from Shechuna Dalet. We grew up together. He comes from a respectable Jewish Moroccan family. While most Moroccan families deteriorated to crime or to pseudo-patriotism which manifests itself in Arab bashing, the Vaanunu family kept their dignity. Mordechai is a real hero, not like the clown-heroes of modern Zionism like Elie Wiesel or the late Ilan Ramin.
20. Lies and persecution...
Mikesailor ,   Miami, Fl   (05.12.10)
Amazing how many lies Israelis will accept without question. They mist be brain dead. What 'secrets' could Vaniuunu possibly disclose after 24 years? That Israel has and produced nuclear weapons? That Israel's proffessed policy of 'nuclear ambiguity' is a lie? Both are pretty well known. Instead, Vanunu is being persecuted by the Israeli 'security' services, with the assisrtance of Israel's so-called legal system, for no other reason than he exposed the lies. And that, according to Israel, is unforgivable. Why can't he leace the country? When Pollard, who deserves eveery day he spends in prison, is finally released, he will be ble to speak with whomever he wants. He will be able to leave the US and move to Israel. And the US legal system and most Americans will view his emigration as very welcome. Israel, on the orther hand, wishes to hold up Vanunu as an example. He is to be persecuted. He is not allowed to meet 'foreign nationals, thereby denying hin freedom of speech and association, and he is denied his right to reavel. He is Israel's Hester Prynne, forced to wear his scarlet 'A' foe no other ereason than to show other Israelis that they have no rights, even after serving their sentences, if they divulge the truth.

What an admirable man! A real freedom fighter and an example for the world. He should get nominated for the Nobel peace price! A beautiful person indeed!
