Just Like Jesus

Post Number:#1  PostMay 24th, 2010, 3:53 am

This man, the Israeli whistleblower, Mordecai Vanunu, sounds just like Jesus.

"Shame on you Israel," Vanunu said: "The stupid Shin Bet and Mossad spies are putting me back in prison after 24 years of speaking nothing but the truth. Shame on you democracy, the Knesset, synagogues and the world media. Shame on you all the Arabs that are allowing me to be put back in prison. Shame on you Senate, congress, and the chairman of the International Atomic Energy Agency for not protecting my freedom. Shame on you all the world's religions, the stupid spies, the Jews, Christians and Muslims."


Read all about it. Be angry.

I think the link broke because of something in the Philosophy Forums makeup:

Wow! Interesting article.

It's scary, the way things work in the world.

The link broke for me too. It's about Vanunu an Israeli technician who whistleblew the secret that Israel has nuclear weapons. There is now ample evidence according to the article in the Guardian that Israel was also negotiating with Apartheid South Africa.Vanunu is now officially a prisoner of conscience.He wanted to live in Arab Jerusalem for his own safety,he would have been in danger of attack in Israeli Jerusalem, but this was refused

This may copy.

I am disappointed neither the NYT nor the Washington Post reported this recent development.
