The Main Danger to Peace, It's Israel

Where are the weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East? Ask Mordechai Vanunu. He knows, all too well. On March 24, 1988, Vanunu was convicted of treason by an Israeli court for revealing the existence of Israel's secret nuclear arsenal at the Dimona facility, where he worked as a technician. Imprisoned since that time, held for the most part in solitary confinement, he is scheduled for release on April 21. Vanunu's family and friends say he has no more secrets to reveal, but the Israeli government is petrified, and is placing "restrictions" on him because of "security concerns." What Tel Aviv is really concerned about, however, is its image abroad.

Vanunu's story – how he was abducted by the Mossad after leaking details of Israel's illegal nuclear program to the London Sunday Times – underscores not only the utter ruthlessness with which the Israelis pursue their interests, but also highlights the peculiar deference paid them by their enablers in the West. Lured from London to Rome by the voluptuous "Cindy," a.k.a. Cheryl Hanin, Vanunu was drugged, chained, put in a box, and shipped to Israel as diplomatic cargo.

This unusual mode of transportation was utilized presumably as a subterfuge – the "diplomatic" rubric meant authorities could not inspect the box – although one wonders why they bothered. That this happened with the full complicity of the Italian government – a magistrate ruled in 1988 that there was "insufficient evidence" to prove Vanunu had been abducted – is indisputable. Equally certain is the complicity of the Brits, who tracked down Vanunu in London, and turned him over to the tender mercies of the Mossad. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was eager to help, but just didn't want the kidnapping to occur in London. That's why they brought in Ms. Hanin, who reportedly used what one news account called her "womanly skills" to reel in their catch.
