Vanunu request for international solidarity

Sparta | 03.01.2006 14:31 | World

Mordechai Vanunu the Israeli whistleblower who revealed Israel's weapons of mass destruction in 1986 and was released from prison in 2004 faces another court appearance in January 2006. He emails with the following appeal:

'My Dear Friends. On 15 January 2006 I will stand trial in the Israeli court. I will be charged with 21 counts of speaking or meeting with foreigners, which Israeli has said I am not allowed to do. These restrictions were imposed on me on 21 April 2004 upon my release from 18 years isolation in prison. I am asking all of my friends and supporters all over the world to help and support me in this very important case. I think this trail will concentrate on the issue of freedom of speech. What I need from you is to send information about your country's history, experience, and expertise in freedom of speech cases. These will help set a precedent from other countries and will act as an example for Israel's democratic system to follow. I would also like to have examples from the earliest democratic states such as Greece and the Roman Republic. I would also like to have examples from speeches of the Greek philosophers such as Pluto, Socrates, and Aristotle. Further, if you know about anybody who was prosecuted for their freedom of speech in this modern age, please find out his/her defence and argues (poems would be welcome as well) and send them on to me. All of this will be sent to my lawyer it will be presented by me during the trial.
I think this will be a landmark trial because we are challenging Israel's democracy to prove that these restrictions are contrary to the democratic standard all over the world. It is the right of every human being to exercise his/her freedom of speech without any restrictions.
Thank you very much for you help. We hope to succeed in our stand against this barbaric order.'

Compare the treatment of Vanunu with Iraq

03.01.2006 20:10

When Blair, 'concerned' and the rest of the racist, genocidal scum launched their terrorist invasion of Iraq, their final excuse was that Iraq refused to allow its citizens to be taken to Israeli run torture centres to be interrogated using the techniques that have become famous post-invasion.

The BBC repeated over and over that if Saddam wouldn't turn over named Iraq citizens for 'interrogation', Blair had no choice but to exterminate Iraq. Of course, everyone now knows that Iraq was doomed long before, and the invasion was unstoppable, but still...

Here we have a so-called nation, Israel, created out of an act of purest terrorism- a tribal group, motivated by absolute racism, flooding out of post-war Europe in order to rape, torture and exterminate the population of Palestine, and steal their land. Years later, this terrorist nation is armed to the gills with nuclear weaponry provided illegally by its tribal supporters in Britain, France, Germany, Russia and the UK. Israel, of course, is famous for training and arming the most repugnant nations on this Earth (the bread queues of Bosnia were blown apart with Israeli manufactured fragmentation ordinance explicitly provided to the Serbs for this purpose) for its own profit, culminating in the provision of nuclear weapons to the apartheid regime of South Africa.

One might think, given the very real 'weapons of mass destruction' produced and distributed by the terrorists of Israel, that the World would do everything it could to protect whistleblowers that were able to shed light on the extent of this horrifying danger. Of course the opposite was true, and the security forces within the UK and Italy worked with Israeli terrorists to have Vanunu kidnapped and silenced for as long as possible.

YOU were told that 300,000+ humans had to be butchered in Iraq because Saddam wouldn't allow his people to be removed from Iraq and tortured by Blair's goons, supposedly in the name of discovering information about Saddam's military programs . YOU are told that under no circumstances are you allowed to question Blair's policy of assisting Israel to maintain massive programs to develop and deploy BIOLOGICAL and NUCLEAR weapons. Seems to me that you are required to believe that BLACK IS WHITE. By definition, this makes your masters totally EVIL under any system of Human judgement. Where the hell do you think this is all going to end up?

Not all Israelis came from Europe!

04.01.2006 10:56

Not all Israelis came from Europe around 700,000 were forced to leave neighbouring arab countries. Palestine also had tens of thousands of Jews living there before the creation of the state of Israel, many who had lived their for centuries. While people on the left are so strong in condemning Jewish migration to Palestine, no one condemns the arab, muslim invasion of Africa. Arab muslims were the first to enslave black africans and the arab muslim slave trade lasted far longer than the European slave trade. In fact it continues today in some parts of Africa.

Concerned: ever hear of Gun Zionism?

I see you havent read David Hirsts excellent book The Gun and the Olive Branch, and its chapter on Cruel Zionism: the Ingathering of the Jews:

' ...
'The astonishing truth-that the bombs which terrorized the Jewish community had been Zionist bombs-was revealed when, in the summer of 1950, an elegantly dressed man entered Uruzdi Beg, the largest general store in Baghdad. One of the salesmen, a Palestinian refugee, turned white when he saw him. He left the counter and ran out into the street, where he told two policemen:'I recognize the face of an Israeli.' He had been a coffee-boy in Acre, and he knew Yehudah Tajjar from there. Arrested, Tajjar confessed that he was indeed an Israeli, but explained that he had come to Baghdad to marry an Iraqi Jewish girl. His revelations led to more arrests, some fifteen in all. Shalom Salih, a youngster in charge of Haganah arms caches, broke down during interrogation and took the police from synagogue to synagogue, showing them where the weapons, smuggled in since World War II, were hidden. During the trial, the prosecution charged that the accused were members of the Zionist underground. Their primary aim-to which the throwing of the three bombs had so devastatingly contributed-was to frighten the Jews into emigrating as soon as possible. Two were sentenced to death, the rest to long prison terms
etc
