What Israel did to Vanunu when they kidnapped him was to put him in solitary confinement. It's a form of torture and many people have gone insane in Israeli prisons, where people can be locked up for decades in solitary and where there is no accountability for the jailers.

Observe the case of the Australian emigrant Ben Zygier who was secretly imprisoned and died in prison, supposedly through by suicide although he was claimed to be under 24 hour surveillance in his cell, and the case of the still imprisoned another "Prisoner X", whose identity is still not known but who is claimed to be an Israeli Jew.

The "Western" deference towards Israel's regime and the idiotic charade about Israel's nuclear weapons - everybody knows it has them, but the "West" refuses to normally acknowledge them and USA's government openly celebrates each time it blocks IAEA from demanding access to Israel's nuclear weapons program - had made the "West", both states and establishment, reluctant to lift a finger to help Vanunu.

According to the Obama administration, path to a nuclear weapons free Middle East demands - and this is a quote - that IAEA isn't allowed to make visits and observe Israel's nuclear facilities.

Israel and nuclear weapons are an example of "Emperor without clothes" and the meek Western governments and establishment need to acknowledge what everyone knows, help Vanunu get out and get Israel's nuclear weapons programs in public light.

This is needed especially as Israel is known to have helped the nuclear weapons programs of Shah's Iran and Apartheid-era South Africa and could be currently or might in the future, help other regimes to acquire their own nuclear weapons.
