Message RE: Mordechai Vanunu to President Peres and all of US Congress

On 23 May 2010 Israel re-imprisoned Mordechai Vanunu for three months essentially for speaking to foreign media in 2004!

On 18 June 2010, Amnesty International nailed the Israeli authorities for subjecting Vanunu to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment by holding him in solitary confinement. Amnesty International has called for his immediate and unconditional release stating:.

"Mordechai Vanunu should not be in prison at all, let alone be held in solitary confinement in a unit intended for violent criminals...He suffered immensely when he was held in solitary confinement for 11 years after his imprisonment in 1986 and to return him to such conditions now is nothing less than cruel, inhuman or degrading.

"Mordechai Vanunu is a prisoner of conscience. The prison authorities might claim that he has been put in isolation to protect him from the risk of attack by other inmates, but if the Israeli government is really concerned for his safety it should release him without delay. His re-imprisonment is both harsh and unjustified."



In April 1999, thirty-six members of the House of Representatives signed a letter calling for Vanunu's release from prison because they believed "we have a duty to stand up for men and women like Mordechai Vanunu who dare to articulate a brighter vision for humanity."

President Clinton responded with a public statement expressing concern for Vanunu and the need for Israel and other non-parties to the Non-Proliferation Treaty to adhere to it and accept IAEA safeguards.

In a 2003, BBC documentary Peter Hounam stated, "Vanunu told the world that Israel had developed between one hundred and two hundred atomic bombs [by 1986!] and had gone on to develop neutron bombs and thermonuclear weapons. Enough to destroy the entire Middle East and nobody has done anything about it since."

In 2005, Vanunu told me:

"President Kennedy tried to stop Israel from building atomic weapons. Kennedy insisted on an open internal inspection.

"When Johnson became president, he made an agreement with Israel that two senators would come every year to inspect. Before the senators would visit, the Israelis would build a wall to block the underground elevators and stairways. From 1963 to '69, the senators came, but they never knew about the wall that hid the rest of the Dimona from them.

"Nixon stopped the inspections and agreed to ignore the situation. As a result, Israel increased production. In 1986, there were over two hundred bombs. Today, they may have enough plutonium for ten bombs a year."

Alfred Bernhard Nobel invented dynamite and when he wrote his last will, in 1895, he left most of his wealth to the establishment of the Nobel Prize to be used to reward human ingenuity and those with moral backbones. Nobel desired to award people whose work benefited humanity in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, and for those who work for peace.

In 2007, after Bishop Tutu nominated Mordechai Vanunu he told me he didn't want the Nobel Peace Prize if Israel would not allow him the freedom to go and accept it.

Within days of the announcement for 2009's Nobel Peace Prize, Vanunu wrote the Nobel Peace Prize Committee:

"I am asking the committee to remove my name from the nominations...I cannot be part of a list of laureates that includes Simon Peres...Peres established and developed the atomic weapon program in Dimona in Israel...Peres was the man who ordered [my] kidnapping...he continues to oppose my freedom and release...WHAT I WANT IS FREEDOM AND ONLY FREEDOM... I NEED NOW."


"Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' And Vanity comes along and asks the question, 'Is it popular?'

"But Conscience asks the question 'Is it right?'

"And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must do it because Conscience tells him it is right."-Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr.

Israel, please keep on doing what you are doing. Please protect your people and ignore people like Eileen who has never been there. I would want Eileen the preacher to go on a mideast trip to Libya, Iran, Saudia Arabia and Syria and see how great these countries are. Please don't forget your Burka! Then go to Israel and see the freedom that Arab-Israelis have, including gays, christians and various denominations of the muslim faith. Shalom and G-D BLESS ISRAEL,We love you! Protect us!

[eileenfleming]

[eileenfleming]

@sevenender It truly is not that complex-all that is needed is a knowledge of history, and a CONSCIENCE guided by Equality and Justice!

[iLovePalestineDotCom]

Great clip thank you.

Do not forget that Chuck "TheZioNazi" Schumer actually said "Israel needs to economically STRANGULATE Gaza because they do not believe in the Torah and in David (factually incorrect, because Muslims believe in both). But the racist religious justification for the collective punishment and starvation of innocent people.

We indeed all have to stand by and support Mr. Vanunu and all those who are political and moral objectors to the ZioNazi apartheid system in izraHell.

[sinclair61]

you are lovely.

[HateFenians]

This is what happens when settler Jews all get together.

The USA is a guilty party in this, the USA also have Nuclear Weapons and shouldn't fear Israeli settler Jews.

Drop a nuke in Tel Aiv.

[MrAbu613]

@fuzzywzhe The Natives? Jews have been living there for thousands of years. the graves of Abraham, Issac and Jacob, leah, rachel, sara etc. are there. Get your facts straight.They are the natives. So lets get it straight, the USA can bomb hiroshima but Jews can't defend themselves? FU, I am happy that the USA bombed Hiroshima and I am even happier that Israel can care less what the world thinks and will do whatever they have to do defend their people. G-d Bless the the holy land. Am Yisroel Chai

[fuzzywzhe]

@MrAbu613 "I am a supporter of the Jewish people and the right for a civilized people to defend themselves. "

.

What makes you think Israel is civilized? This is a country that had a state directive to discard blood donated from black Jews. This is a country where they have Jewish only towns. This is a country that has made war against the natives for 62 years because the natives aren't Jewish, and ONLY because of that.

.

They are xenophobic racist barbarians, and always have been.

[MrAbu613]

@fuzzywzhe I am a supporter of the Jewish people and the right for a civilized people to defend themselves. Nazi Germany killed millions of people both Jewish and christians and many others, your comparission is sad and way off. If you believe that comparrison is correct you must be pissed off that the US supports the holy land. G-d Bless Israel and the Jewish people.

[fuzzywzhe]

@MrAbu613 "Israel, please keep on doing what you are doing. Please protect your people and ignore people like Eileen who has never been there"

.

It's so ludicrous that people think you need to live in a violently racist xenophobic state in order to talk about it. I suppose you'd have to live in Nazi Germany to "understand how good it was". You're just a supporter of bigotry and racism, and that's all you will ever be
