I would just like to pick up the point about Mordechai Vanunu which I raised a while ago.

He served 18 years in an Israeli jail much of that time in solitary confinement.

He served the jail time for revealing that Israel was armed with nuclear weapons .In fact it is the one state in the Middle East to have these nuclear weapons. For the crime of revealing its nuclear arms to the world he was kidnapped by Israeli secret agents in Rome and drugged and brought back to Israel.

After his release from prison he renounced his faith and citizenship of Israel and sought to move to Europe. He has been living in a christian church in Jerusalem and been threatened by zionists.
The authorities have been playing cat and mouse with him and refuse to let him leave.
Israel is an aggressive state with nuclear weapons and the Observer revealed last year that much of its nuclear technology was provided by Britain.It really was like pouring oil on the fire.
Those people who have been loudly proclaiming the democracy of Israel need to face up to the question of Vanunu. Let him go!
