Dorothy If we let him go first thing he is going to do is start the international anti Israel lecture circuit and telling the world all about Israels nuclear program and getting paid thousands for it. The world might now about the nukes and how useful his secrets are today is not the issue its the political damage he will cause. We just don't need him running around the world getting paid to tell all about Israels nuclear program and hos unjustly he was treated. The man has become an icon and very bitter so if we let him lose on the world who knows what damage he will do. The only realistic way to deal with Vanunu long term is if he has an accident.

It is pitiful to see this women descend into the diatribes she is infamous on ynetnet for. Take your meds Sarah, before you blow a head gasket.

In the town where I was born, in Bad Reichenhall, shortly after the end of the Second World war, American troops shot an killed a bunch of French members of the Weapons SS. This was justice done to a bunch of war criminals, pure and simple. Guess what happened later, in the "new" Germany ? The town of Bad Reichenhall errected a memorial site, to celebrate the "brave" sons of France who committed war crimes in the service of the Nazi army. Every year the old and new Nazis of France and Germany come here, to celebrate their heroes... The memorial site was recently renovated by the town... (But this is only a very small story..) By the way, I recently informed the New York Times( which had written a story about Hitlers mountain resort at this time), about this nasty episode, but I got no answer...

Only in Israel someone like that stays alive. Cannot think of any other example... 3 month in prison ? I would put him above the Iranian nuclear site, minutes before America bombs them.

exchange him for Pollard. After all many Americans want Vanunu walk free, hence they do not believe there is such a thing as treason.

He was reviled for telling the truth, which is something not well understood in Israel. Pity about the religion though, although christianity is just Judaism with bonus nonsense to study.

You seem to choose to forget that it was you German Nazis which established those terms, those worthy to live. Those worthy did not include the disabled, the insane, the Jews, the Gypsies, the Blacks and the eastern Europeans. Nobody nowhere ever established such a system of racial, physical, cognitivel and emotional socalled defects as you Germans and now you ascribe this to Israel and America. If you are truely German, as your name indicates, then you are too shameful for words. I would suppose, however, that you are a mideastern Muslim on the path of Jihad masquerading as Deutsch. Self-deception blanketed by anti-semitism and hatred for the USA is probably the way yo function. Would your mother have been proud of you, Georg?

Vanunu grew up in an Orthodox Zionist home and began tuning it out at 13 and was an atheist at 16. He went back to where he was then in Nov. 2009. Also, Vanunu stumbled into Christianity just days before being kidnapped by the Mossad in 1986 and not until he was in prison did he start to read the New Testament.

I dare you to publish classified information about the Australian army so inquiring minds can see how well "telling the truth" is understood in Australia.

absolutist statement re "prisoner of conscience". According to your simplistic statement, a Jihadist who murders civilians is a "prisoner of conscience" if he honestly believes in the veracity of his cause (which, incidently, most do). Many traitors and saboteurs honestly believe that what they are doing is morally correct. Presumably Vannunu does. So what. He was a traitor to his country. In the USA, that would be reason enough for execution. Why do you bother filling up these Talkback with your constant imbecilities? Oh, it's Sunday, I forgot, and you have nothing else to do.

You are seriously deluded. Abu Ghraib, while embarrassing, doesn't hold a candle to Auschwitz, Belsen, Flossenburg, Buchenwald, Maidanek et cetera, ad nauseum. That is the difference between our two countries. For you to suggest otherwise puts you in deep, deep denial. A little psychotherapy would go a long way for you. Abu Ghraib was a minor diversion, and certainly was the exception rather than the rule. Unfortunately for you, concentration camps, death camps, gas chambers and crematoria were the rule. Who the hell are you to suggest otherwise? Six million Arabs did not meet their end in Abu Ghraib. How many "untermenschen" met their end in Germany's concentration camps and death camps? Do you really think that people will ever forget? They won't. Your stain will never go away. Deal with it.

He was a traitor, not a whistle-blower. Lay off the Fosters long enough to appreciate the difference.

years, what was done to the German military by General Eisenhower after they surrendered was classified. He marched over a million German soldiers into a field and let them starve to death or die of thirst. About 100,000 German soldiers survived. The Russians took the German soldiers to Siberia where most perished in slave labor camps. Josef Stalin slaughtered 32 million of his own people (Russians). The Red Chinese leaders under Mao Tse Tung slaughtered 70 million of their own people. As bad as Adolf Hitler and the Germans were in WWI and WWII, they could not rival the communists or the Roman Catholic church for sheer brutality and slaughter. The Roman Catholic church slaughtered 40 million Protestants during the Middle Ages in the Inquisition.

THE ONLY FEELING AROUSING IN ME, WHEN I THINK OF GERMANYS BEHAVIOUR AGAINST THE JEWS DURING WORLD WAR TWO, IS THE STRONGEST HATE AND RAGE. AND NOW CONSIDERING GERMANYS CONTINUANCE OF ITS POLICY REGARDING THE BALKANS, SURELY I WOULD LIKE TO SEE GERMANY GO DOWN THE PIT. IT WILL COME TO GERMANY IN THE 3rd WORLD WAR, BUT STILL SHE WOULD SURVIVE AND BE THE SAME EVIL AS ALWAYS. THE JEW NOSTRADAMUS THOUGH, HAS A PROPHESY THAT GERMANY WILL CONVERT TO THE GOD OF ISRAEL IN THE END. Arn.

There, I said what Vanunu said. What are they going to do, throw me in jail? Israel needs to live up to it's respomsibilites and admit it has nuclear weapons, and join the rest of the civilized world under nuclear treaty.

then why are they making a big deal about Iran's nonexistent weapons program?

Zee world will never forget because of zee few million you forgot. If all zee Jews were killed you would have no enemies.

defensive, to deter attacks. Iran's leaders have called America the Great Satan and Israel the little Satan and called for the destruction of Israel. Israel has not called for the destruction of other nations. Iran is an aggressor nation, intent on destroying America and Israel and the West. Pakistan and Saudi Arabia who financed the development of nuclear weapons in Pakistan have nuclear weapons and are Muslim nations, but are not considered to be as aggresive as Iran in the possible use of them.

The 3 month sentance was for "talking to a Norwegian woman -- a violation of the terms laid down".

Yeah, they do. Have had them for a long time, at least the early sixties. Have they used them, despite all the wars instigated by Arabs? No. They haven't. Can you make the same claim for the Iranians? Doubtful. Care to re-think your idiotic comment?

christian, or buddist or if he wants to crusify himself- he's got free hoice We care if maybe he can do and serve us a little - if he goes to Iran and make a little job- in his expertise field -informing

So Hizbullah can kidnap him and demand an exchange for hundreds of terrorists held in Israel.

"In the USA, that would be reason enough for execution" (#41) Is that so? Like Bush told lies to invade Iraq and destroy a non-threatening sovereign country, and murder over a million innocent people just to keep Israel safe? Howcome Bush is not behind bars?

Israel didn't confirm having atomic bombs, therefor Vanunu cannot reveal anything, what does not exist. They torture him, just for the sake of it.
