On the November 26
nike
huarache triple black italia , 2006 WAWA Blog, this reporter raised
the question if Mordechai Vanunu's Christian conversion could be the reason the
Israeli government continues to hold him captive in Jerusalem, 2 12 years after
he was released from 18 years in jail for telling the world the truth, that
Israel had gone nuclear. Reporter and full time CPTChristian Peacemaker Teams
volunteer, Jerry Levin, reported Vanunu's answer in a December 3, 2006 email:
Jerry: "Do you see an element of persecution in all this governmental pressure?"
Unhesitatingly, Mordechai answered. "There is. It is my Christianity that they
cannot accept. That is the source of my problems with my case." The rest of
Jerry's report follows, but first let me tell you a little about Jerry. Jerry
Levin, a secular Jew and CNN's former Mid East Bureau Chief in the 1980's was
kidnapped by the Hizbuloh in Lebanon and held for nearly a year. Meanwhile, his
wife Sis, a Christian had been praying and persistently working for his release.
On Christmas Eve, Jerry had a mystical experience of Christ and shortly
thereafter escaped unharmed. Ever since
nike

working for peace and pursuing justice in the Holy Land. Jerry's book "My First
Noel" about that event and his hard hitting expose "West Bank Diary" can be
purchased through Hope Publishing House. I met Jerry for the first time on the
third Tuesday in June 2005, when he 'shepherded' me through Hebron. Hebron is
where 450 Israeli settlers are protected by 3,000 Israeli DefenseOccupying
Forces. I was nauseous the entire day for the oppression is visceral and the
visuals reminded me of every photo and movie I had ever seen of the ghettos the
Jews were forced into during the Holocaust. The settlers [who are are illegal
colonists according to International law] spray painted "GAS THE ARABS" and
Stars of David upon what had once been peaceful Palestinian homes. A main street
in Hebron where the colonistssettlers live on one side and Palestinians on the
other is connected by a thick yet deeply sagging netting above ones head. Huge
rocks, shovels, electronic equipment, furniture and all manner of debris have
been flung onto it by the settlers with the hope that it will give way and hit a
Palestinian on the head. Jerry told me, "It gets cleaned out about every year or
so. Come back in a few months and there will be more. The settlers just throw
what ever they want onto the netting, they do what ever they want and get away
with it. The CPT's run interference by non-violent resistance, we get the
children and woman to where they need to be going and back again. Sometimes the
settlers curse and stone us all; it keeps it interesting." Now, for Jerry's
report: (Bethlehem, West Bank, Palestine December 3, 2006) A friend responding
to my latest report on the trials of Mordechai Vanunu (See From The Inside
Looking Out report-73
nike juvenate
saldi , December 2, 2006: Mordechai Vanunu and the Perils of
Speaking English) described his travails as a "pathetic little Kaka tale." Down
home in Alabama we have another way of describing those ordeals, You can't win
for losing." Take for instance his civil suit against the Israeli newspaper,
Yediot Aharanot. It was launched while he was still in prison for revealing
Israel's secret atomic and hydrogen bomb making program through an article in
the London Times. "The newspaper published stories about me saying I was sending
information out how to build bombs to the Hamas," said a still incredulous
Mordechai. "When I came out of prison the trial started." "We bring to testify
the head of the Shabak [Ed: aka Shin Bet, the Secret Service, equivalent to the
FBI in the United States]. He said that he received the information from his
people and that he didn't check it. And we proved that I don't know any
information about how to make bombs. But a year ago they win in the court."
"How? Why?" "The judge decided that the newspaper has the right to publish the
story because it received it from the Shabak. Shabak is like the voice of god."
"So you lost." "Big." "What do you mean, "big?" "Well, if newspapers publish
lies about me, you would think I have the right to receive compensation from the
newspapers and they would be denied to publish more lies. But the judge decided,
no, I should pay Yediot Aharanot $10,000.00. How can a newspaper be damaged by
publishing such stories about me? So we are appealing this decision. The hearing
could be soon." Turning to the criminal charges against him for speaking to
foreign journalists
nike air huarache saldi , I
asked if his defense intends to call any more witnesses beyond the army general
who signed the orders restricting his freedom of movement and speech. "Yes,
Peter Hounam, the reporter who in 1986 wrote the story I give the London Times
about Israel's nuclear bomb program. They have charged me that when I was
released from prison in 2005, he was involved in a big interview which I gave to
the BBC. But the allegation is not true because the interview was done by an
Israeli journalist. But they deported him anyway. So we are negotiating about
this," "About what?" "Well, he has accepted to come, but the government wants to
complicate the case by insisting to decide that they can refuse to let him come
back. So they are saying he must have the same restrictions on him that they put
on me. But he says that if they confine him to a hotel he will not come." "So
what is being negotiated?" "We accept not to bring him, if the government
cancels this charge about the BBC interview. If they don't take it out, we will
bring him." "Do you see an element of persecution in all this governmental
pressure?" Unhesitatingly, Mordechai answered. "There is. It is my Christianity
that they cannot accept. That is the source of my problems with my case." "All?"
"Yes, because even if they understand they need to make justice with me and let
me go and let me s .
