Mordechai Vanunu: 1986 Whistle Blower of Israel’s WMD Program Saga from 2005-2010
Just days before my first of seven journeys to Israel and occupied Palestine in June 2005, a Palestinian American friend warned me, “Don’t visit Vanunu, if you see him; don’t speak to him. He’s not allowed to speak to foreigners and you could cause him trouble.”
I responded, “OK, I won’t track him down, but Jerusalem is a small town and if our paths cross, I will speak to him. What kind of government is that, that will tell a human being who they can and cannot talk with?”
Not only did I cross paths with the Whistle Blower of Israel’s WMD program during that trip, I have met with Vanunu on every trip since, have been streaming 2005, 2006 and 2008 video interviews with him on my site and have reported since day one on his FREEDOM OF SPEECH TRIAL in the ‘democracy’ of Israel since it began January 25, 2006.
This American citizen journalist also writes to assure Israeli SECURITY that Vanunu never gave me an order that I have followed.
Nor have I done anything other than follow my conscience and of course SECURITY knows all about me, for I tell the truth at Ben Gurion Airport, get strip searched and write all about it on the WWW.
I also have written twice to the Mossad agent who trapped him in 1986 and who lives less than a two hour car drive from my home:

My letters never returned, but I noted visits to my site dramatically increased within two days of my posting.
All during Vanunu’s captivity in occupied East Jerusalem, since April 21, 2004, he has spoken with hundreds –if not thousands-of internationals.
Israel hires Palestinian spies to follow him around and they monitor his phone calls and emails.
On December 28, 2009, Vanunu was arrested/HARASSED once again, this time just for meeting with his Norwegian girlfriend, Dr. Kristin Joachimsen, a scholar and an associate professor of Biblical Studies. They have known each other for two years, and if i knew that, SECURITY had to have too.
On You Tube, Russian media reported that a search of Vanunu’s belongings uncovered a letter from an American causing Israeli officials to be concerned that “he could be orchestrating something.”
In June 2009, I mailed a copy of my second book and a few articles to the Israeli High Court Judge, so she could read the final chapter; BROTHER V and learn what this American’s interest in Vanunu has been: his childhood, his stumbling into Christianity, his FREEDOM OF SPEECH TRIAL and denial of basic human rights by the Jewish State.
In June 2005, Vanunu told me, “When I decided to expose Israel’s nuclear weapons I acted out of conscience and to warn the world to prevent a nuclear holocaust.”
I responded, “OK, I won’t track him down, but Jerusalem is a small town and if our paths cross, I will speak to him. What kind of government is that, that will tell a human being who they can and cannot talk with?”
