Nuclear whistleblower Vanunu arrested again by Israel...
In May 2010, Mordechai Vanunu was re-arrested and sentenced to three months in jail on suspicion that he had met with foreigners (meetings with his Norwegian girlfriend and journalists), thus violating one of the unreasonable conditions of his 2004 release from jail.
When is this idiocy going to end, and Israel finally allows him to leave the country in accordance with his stated wishes. They have already subjected him to almost 2 decades of prison, much of it under inhumane conditions such as 11 years of isolation, essentially robbing him of much of his life, and all for revealing publicly the covert nuclear program that Israel still doesn't officially admit to. To those who believe in nuclear non-proliferation, the man is a hero. Amnesty International considers him 'a prisoner of conscience'.
If the British and their allies had not "unofficially" facilitated the original development of Israel's nuclear program, perhaps we would not be witnessing other countries in the region scrambling to develop one of their own. It's decidedly hypocritical of the West to condemn and punish through sanctions Israel's Middle Eastern neighbours for the same action they condone when the nation is Israel.
