- In interview with Egyptian weekly, nuclear spy accuses
Israel of perpetrating 'Holocaust' against Palestinians; says Jewish state
is a 'negative democracy' that ruins the world. Vanunu is also upset about
world's dependence on cellular phones
-
- Israel treats people like animals, and its conduct towards
the Palestinian constitutes a "Holocaust," nuclear whistleblower
Mordechai Vanunu charged in an interview with Egyptian weekly al-Ahram.
-
- "That's what Nazism did, and that's what Israel
is doing to the Palestinians, and me," Vanunu said.
-
- According to Vanunu, the Israeli government constantly
mentions the Holocaust, but "then I arrived and made them see the
real problem is Israel's atom bomb. That's the real Holocaust, and the
attitude to the Palestinians."
-
- The nuclear spy also issued a scathing attack on Israel's
democracy and said the Jewish state creates problems for the entire world.
-
- "The world moved towards freedom, democracy, liberty
and equal rights, but then the State of Israel was established in 1948
and brought the world a type of negative democracy," he charged.
-
- "In the name of national security, you can do whatever
you wantlimit rights, make up laws, punish without trial. This system destroys
everything built by the world since Ancient Greece," he said.
-
- 'Why don't we have God's number?'
-
- However, Vanunu said he believes this state of affairs
will not continue for long, while slamming Israel for increasingly becoming
an apartheid state.
-
- "They pretend they are a democracy, but one can
see it's a state of Jewish racial supremacy. Yet I believe this will change
in the future. The world will not be able to accept this. Had the Jewish
people established a state a thousand years ago, we may have not been able
to achieve the democratic principles in the world today."
-
- Yet if attacking Israel was not enough, Vanunu found
yet another target for his wrath cellular phones.
-
- "We have become dependent on cellular phones,"
he said. "You can talk with anyone on the face of this earth, but
you cannot talk to God. Why don't we have his number?"
-
- The nuclear whistleblower also vowed to keep on interviewing
despite a court order that limits his dealings with the media. Notably,
the al-Ahram interview joins a series of other interviews given by Vanunu
to various foreign media outlets.
-
- Several months ago, the State Prosecutor indicted Vanunu
on charges of revealing details about his work in Israel's nuclear reactor
in Dimona during interviews, in violation of the limits placed on him.
