“The name of Mordechai Vanunu, however much it is anathema to the State of Israel, will be inscribed in gold letters in the history of humanity as one of the most important campaigners against nuclear weapons. If we manage to avoid a nuclear holocaust, then long after Israel’s current nuclear junkies have disappeared into the black hole of the universe, Mordechai Vanunu’s story will be transmitted from generation to generation as a symbol of sacrifice and resolute determination to see a sane and healthy world free of weapons of mass destruction. I believe that the State of Israel, if it survives the nuclear delusions of its leaders and manages to make the transition to an era of freedom and humanism, will award the Israel Prize – if belatedly – to Mordechai Vanunu.”
