Israeli law enforcement

Yesterday, I reported in my daily column, "Resistance News" (Item #4) about the incarceration of Yesha girls aged 12-16 for being present at a protest against the ethnic cleansing of Jews in Yesha. Compare this harsh, brutal treatment of minors with the kid gloves Israeli law enforcement uses when it comes to Mordechai Quisling Vanunu, as reported by JPost:

Vanunu defies restrictions in Internet chat

Nuclear whistle-blower Mordechai Vanunu violated the restrictions imposed on him Friday in an Internet chat with readers in Norway, defying a ban on contact with foreigners.

Vanunu was released from prison last year after completing an 18 year sentence for revealing Israel's nuclear secrets to foreign media outlets.

"I saved Israel from its madness to go toward nuclear genocide war," Vanunu said in the chat set up by Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet. "I am very proud of publishing the nuclear secrets."
Vanunu, released from prison last year, has been in the news in Norway after it rejected his asylum application.

Dagbladet editor Helge Oegrim said they repeatedly called Vanunu on a secret telephone number to be sure he was the person answering the readers.

"I'm not saying it couldn't be a top spy answering," Oegrim told The Associated Press. "But we feel very certain that this is the real person."

Vanunu confirmed to the Associated Press in Israel that he had participated in the Norwegian paper's question and answer session.

Not a word about the authorities incarcerating this chap.
