RE: Gareth Browne’s repeat of fake news regarding Israeli Nuclear Whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu and the Mossad Honey Trap
In Wonder Woman’ Gal Gadot Gets Dragged Into a Real-Life Israel-Arab Spy Drama, Gareth Browne wrote:
Mossad, Israel’s foreign intelligence agency, has a long history of espionage activities in Lebanon and other neighboring states. Indeed, it wouldn’t be the first time they had attempted to honey trap someone. In 1986, Mossad agent Cheryl Bentov lured the infatuated whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu to Rome to be kidnapped by Mossad. Vanunu had worked on the Israeli nuclear program, and leaked details of it to the British press. After travelling to Rome to meet with Bentov, with whom he had fallen in love, he was kidnapped by Mossad, and returned to Israel for trial and imprisonment.

Excerpted from CHAPTER 12: 30 Minutes with Vanunu
Another reason for this book: to set the record straight about many inaccuracies the media has reported, such as the legend that Vanunu flew to Rome from London with the Mossad, a victim of a “honey-trap” but the opportunity for sex already existed in London. It was during that dinner after the taping of “30 Minutes with Vanunu” that I asked Vanunu, “What were you thinking of, when you left London for Rome with Cindy?”
Vanunu immediately replied and maintained eye contact the entire time as he stated, “No, it wasn’t like THAT! A tabloid paper published a story with some of the photos of the Dimona I had taken. They never contacted me for my side of the story but they published my photo with a bad report; lots of lies. I knew I was in danger and I wasn’t sure if the Times would still print my story. I thought I would just leave London with her for a few days.”
When Vanunu arrived in Rome at what he thought was Cindy’s sister’s home, he was clubbed, drugged, bound and transported back to Israel in either a small yacht or a cargo ship.
Just prior to being driven to his closed door trial, Vanunu had been inspired to write his Rome flight number and “HIJACKED” upon his palm and press it to the window of the van he was being transported in. A photographer captured his inspired move and that led Peter Hounam, the journalist who broke Vanunu’s story to track down the Mossad agent who had entrapped him. [end excerpt]
