Israel's real face
Mosleh Uddin Shamim Lecturer in History Chittagong University
Mordechai Vanunu, a 50-year-old former nuclear technician at Israel's Dimona atomic reactor, has fallen under another ban by Israeli government on leaving his country. Vanunu was freed from prison last April following a twelve-year imprisonment for disclosing the nuclear secrets of Israel to British Sunday Times. Now, he attempts to desert his own country to start his life afresh abroad. But Israel has stopped this fearing he may unveil more information about its nuclear capabilities. Israel's nuclear capabilities are an open secret even if it is tight-lipped on the issue. From Vanunu's interview with the Sunday Times and the photographs of the Dimona reactor, the nuclear experts reached the conclusion that Israel owns as many as 200 nuclear warheads. So, needless to say that Israel has appeared a real threat to ME peace. Over this concern, before going to halt Iran's rightful nuclear usage for civil ends, America and the EU should come up with stern action against Israel's possession of nuclear weapons.
