	Mordechai Vanunu (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Vanunu had gone to Australia in 1986, where he unveiled to a local journalist that he had in his possession numerous photographs of the Dimona nuclear reactor, where he had been a technician for nine years.
		Vanunu is now the “darling” of the anti-Jewish haters in Europe and in the U.S. All of these haters scream that Israel should divest itself of its nuclear deterrent, knowing full well that without the nuclear bomb Israel would be overwhelmed by its 280 million Arab neighbors and utterly destroyed.
		Vanunu also pretends that he was imprisoned because he is a Christian and not because he sold atomic secrets.

		MORDECHAI VANUNU: I'm not taking a chance, I'm making a very good calculation and according to the human rights and freedom of speech that everyone as a human being should have and I'm exercising it and I believe the Israel Government and Israel organisations are realising that what they decided is not good.
		MORDECHAI VANUNU: The effect was very hard and strong, but I was firm and strong from the beginning to protect my freedom, my free will, my humanity, that was my struggle from the beginning.

	Vanunu - Israel Was Behind JFK Assassination

		Vanunu warned that Jordan should test the residents along the border with Israel for exposure to radiation and give them pills just like Israel decided to do for its citizens.

		The Israeli government has kept Vanunu in conditions Amnesty International called “cruel, inhuman and degrading.” For years Vanunu’s human contact was restricted to his prison guards, and infrequent visits with his siblings, a lawyer, or a priest.
		Mary also said her son needs letters from the outside world, both to cheer him and to remind Israel that Mordechai is not a “non-person.” With every letter sent to her son, to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, to ambassadors, public officials and newspapers—both in Israel and around the world—Mordechai’s chance for freedom improves.
