Vanunu risk jail to speak on Democracy Now..(.Israeli whistleblower)

"Vanunu leaked information and photos of Israel's nuclear weapons program to the Sunday Times in London. He was subsequently kidnapped by Israeli spy agency Mossad in Italy and then jailed. He would go on to spend 18 years behind bars including 11 in solitary confinement.

He was released on April 21 under strict government restrictions.

Democracy Now!'s Amy Goodman reached Vanunu on his cell phone in East Jerusalem where he has been staying since his release in April. He defied the Israeli government's restriction on speaking with foreigners to talk with us."

2. Vanunu is a real hero of out times. .

Of the same stripe as Daniel Ellsburg and Sakarov.

3. Vanunu is a true hero

He was "adopted" by a couple here in St. Paul, MN, and it is hoped that someday he will be allowed to leave Israel and come to the US to live.

Vanunu stood up to the Israeli government and was not afraid to tell the truth: Israel is a nuclear power (the only one in the Middle East), and is a true threat to the peace and stability of the region-- regardless of what Israeli and US politicians say.
