On Wednesday Israel’s Nuclear Whistleblower marked the 7th anniversary of the establishment of his YouTube Channel:

Vanunu Mordechai

 

Joined Mar 4, 2008-Mar-4-2015.and my words still very clear and strong,without any answers,still waiting to real freedom.freedom of speech and freedom of movements,from this the only Non democracy state in the middl east .Freedom Now First.VMJC.

 

For the past ten years, this lone reporter has documented Vanunu’s fight for freedom from Israel and I have kept Vanunu and SECURITY updated on my efforts to preserve a Free Press on the World Wide Web, by commenting at Vanunu’s YouTube Channel.

On Feb. 28, I posted the link to Congress and Media must address Israel’s WMD and State Torture of Vanunu at Vanunu’s YouTube Wall. 

 

My comment was made publicly but as it has now disappeared, I am confident Vanunu read it.

If SECURITY missed it there and as Vanunu has already said, “everything is already on the Internet” this reporter notes it here adding the following:

 

Today’s Haaretz Editorial blasted Netanyahu and all the candidates for “ignoring the real existential threat to Israel and its ability to survive as a ‘Jewish and democratic state’: the unending occupation of the territories. Israel’s insistence on ruling over millions of Palestinians in the West Bank who lack civil rights, expanding the settlements and keeping residents of the Gaza Strip under siege is the danger that threatens its future.”

 

Today’s New York Times Editorial concluded:

The response in Congress suggested considerable opposition to a nuclear deal. But a new poll by the University of Maryland’s Program for Public Consultation and the Anwar Sadat Chair for Peace and Development shows that a clear majority of Americans — including 61 percent of Republicans and 66 percent of Democrats — favor an agreement.

Congress must not forget that its responsibility is to make choices that advance American security interests, and that would include a strict and achievable agreement with Iran. If it sabotages the deal as Mr. Netanyahu has demanded, it would bear the blame.

 

 

On March 1st I emailed The New York Times at:

news-tips@nytimes.com, letters@nytimes.com, OP-ED Dept <opinion@nytimes.com>, opinion.video@nytimes.com, OP-ED Dept <oped@nytimes.com>, corrections@nytimes.com, books@nytimes.com, editorial@nytimes.com, foreign@nytimes.com, national@nytimes.com, washington@nytimes.com, executive-editor@nytimes.com, nytnews@nytimes.com,
publisher@nytimes.com, public@nytimes.com

Subject: Submission: Congress must address Israel’s WMD

Dear New York Times,

This recently declassified 1987 report on Israel’s Nuclear Weapons Program exposes how well informed the US Government was about Israel’s WMD Facility and its nuclear agenda by [if not before] the 1980’s.

The decades-old Defense Department reports on U.S. government’s assistance to Israel in the development of its nuclear weapons.
This report states the Israelis are “developing the kind of codes which will enable them to make hydrogen bombs...”

 

In 2005, Mordechai Vanunu explained he decided to expose Israel’s Nuclear Weapon Facility at Dimona “because Israeli authorities were lying. They constantly said that Israel’s political leaders had no intentions of acquiring nuclear weapons. However, they were producing amounts of radioactive substances that could only serve that goal: manufacturing nuclear weapons. They were significant amounts. I calculated that at that time, in 1986, they already had 200 atomic bombs.

“They had also started to manufacture hydrogen bombs…

Thank you for your consideration…

I received automatic replies from five of the NYT Editors including:

 

THANK YOU for writing The New York Times newsroom. We are grateful to readers who take the time to help us report thoroughly and accurately.  Your message will reach the appropriate editor or reporter promptly.

Thank you for contacting the public editor.  My assistant and I read every message that we receive.  Please note that this office deals specifically with issues of journalistic integrity at The New York Times…. Very truly yours, Margaret Sullivan Public Editor

 

 

Flemming_SB_0210_R1_0U This reporter is still waiting for The Media to report on America’s collusion in Israel’s Nuclear Deceptions but I am not holding my breath.

However, if by the end of 2015 The Media still ignores Vanunu’s fight for freedom and Israel’s WMD, and Vanunu is still waiting for his right to fade into the world instead of continuing to make headlines I will update The Vanunu Legend: Israel’s Nuclear Whistleblower’s Struggle for Freedom

 

 So that everything will be on the Internet.
