If I have to listen to the Canadian media glorify traitor Mordechai Vanunu or refer to him as a “whistle-blower” one more time, I think I’m going to be sick.
The sappy, melodramatic images of Vanunu’s “first taste of freedom” and the way that the reports tacitly vilify the Israeli government for continuing to impose restrictions on him are all spinning a tale of the little hero against the big bad government. But as Meryl points out, Vanunu is a scumbag who doesn’t deserve any of it:
And by the way, a person who exposes illegalities at work, such as unsafe workplace practices, is a whistleblower. A person who reveals nuclear secrets of a nation is a traitor. It’s another example of the subtle anti-Semitism of the world media. Imagine, if you will, an American who went to the press about some of our secret weapons programs. Or who told the world about, say, the neutron bomb while it was still being worked on.
Somehow, I don’t think he’d be hailed as a “whistleblower” when he got out of prison. In fact, he’d still be in prison, despised by one and all as the traitor he is.
Most Israelis are hoping that Vanunu screws up so he can be sent back to prison. I can’t say I blame them.
Vanunu, who was born Jewish but converted to Christianity, has also said on the record numerous times that he wants to see Israel destroyed. He wasn’t heroically relaying truth to the world; he was actively collaborating with Israel’s sworn enemies in a bid to destroy the country.
Whistle-blower? Yeah, right!
And Harry uncovers the shocking news that Vanunu’s exclusive luxury digs are being paid for by the BBC.
Shocking? Not really, when you think about it. But don’t feed me crap about the wonderful BBC and its wonderful “objectivity”, k? Just don’t try it.
Yeah, traitor, to a rogue state like North Korea
