1. Editor's Note

2. Israeli Soldiers Raid Anglican Cathedral in Jerusalem

3. Letter of Protest to the Archbishop of Canterbury

Editor's Note: 

George "devout Christian" Bush is a great friend and bulwark of support 
for Israeli Prime minister Ariel Sharon, whose troops shot up the 
birthplace of Jesus --the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, in 2002-- 
with not a peep of protest from the "devout" Catholics and Protestants 
who worked so diligently this month to re-elect Sharon's good buddy, Mr. 
Bush. 

Now comes news of an outrageous Israeli raid on a Christian church, the 
Anglican Cathedral in East Jerusalem, which was besieged by 30 Israeli 
shock troops early this morning, using publicity for Yasir Arafat's 
death as diversionary cover, to arrest, once again, Mordechai Vanunu, 
who spent 18 years in an Israeli prison for campaigning against Israeli 
weapons of mass destruction. 

No Christian shrine means a thing to Sharon and why should it? When your 
goons shoot up the birthplace of Christ and your staunch American 
presidential ally remains the toast of the Christian community in 
America in spite of your atrocity against one of the holiest sites on 
earth, who or what is there to fear?

Those who, after ominous warnings from knowledgeable Christian 
researchers, voted for George W. Bush anyway, bear responsibility for 
the grave sins that both he and his agents and allies have been 
empowered to commit, be it an abortionist future chairman of the Senate 
Judiciary committee (Specter), a prospective abortionist Attorney 
General who denies parental rights in teen abortion cases (Gonzalez) or 
the Prime Minister of a crucifix-defiling, church-smashing nation 
(Sharon).

Israelis seize Vanunu inside cathedral From David Sharrock in Jerusalem

MORDECHAI VANUNU, the former technician who exposed Israel's secret 
nuclear weapons program, was detained by Israeli police for several 
hours yesterday, seven months after completing an 18-year prison 
sentence for treason.

The nuclear whistleblower was arrested on suspicion of leaking "national 
secrets" in a police operation during which armed officers stormed the 
walled compound of the Anglican Cathedral in East Jerusalem.

His supporters said that the police had used the death of Yassir Arafat 
as cover to make the arrest, in the hope that it would be ignored. Mr 
Vanunu was seized by some 30 armed police officers inside St George's 
Cathedral in Jerusalem's Old City, where he had been staying since his 
release.

An Israeli police spokesman said that he was under investigation for 
violating the terms of his release, which include bans on leaving Israel 
for one year, speaking to foreigners or journalists, discussing nuclear 
secrets and approaching foreign embassies and Israel's borders or exit 
points.

Bishop Riah Abu al-Assal, the head of the Anglican Church in Jerusalem, 
said: "About 30 armed police stormed into the cathedral close, some of 
them climbing over the walls.

"They terrified the guests, who were having their breakfast at the time. 
I told them that this was most unfortunate behaviour, but as usual they 
couldn't care less.

"They led Mordechai off to his room, which they said they wanted to 
search, then they took him away. He was quiet and calm throughout."

Rayna Moss, co-ordinator of the International Committee to Free Vanunu, 
said: "They want to set him up. They want to bury him along with Arafat 
they chose their timing to do this very well."

Last night Mr Vanunu was released on bail, on condition that he spends 
the next seven days under "house arrest" at St George's Cathedral. "Mr 
Vanunu has agreed to abide by all the restrictions under which he was 
released in April, and the police investigation will continue," Gil 
Kleiman, a police spokesman, said.

Mr Vanunu was convicted in 1988 after he was kidnapped by Mossad, the 
Israeli foreign intelligence service, in a "honey-trap" operation. He 
was lured from Britain to Italy by "Cindy", a Mossad agent posing as an 
American, from where he was shipped back to Israel, bound and gagged.

His country was determined to bring him back to stand trial on spying 
and treason charges after he revealed details to The Sunday Times of its 
secret nuclear reactor in Dimona, in the southern Negev desert.

His information and photographs led experts to conclude that Israel has 
the world's sixth-largest stockpile of nuclear weapons, including 
hundreds of warheads.

Mr Vanunu, 49, a Moroccan Jew who converted to Christianity, has given a 
series of interviews since his release. He told the BBC: "I have no 
regrets in spite of the fact that I have paid a heavy punishment; a 
large price. I think it was worth it."

In September he told a Greek radio station that he did not feel safe in 
Israel and wanted to leave as soon as possible. "The United States is 
pushing Iran with respect to its nuclear weapons programme. It needs to 
do the same thing to Israel," he added. "You can't focus on Iran and 
forget about Israel."

He also told the Associated Press news agency that he wanted to replace 
his Israeli citizenship with a foreign one, perhaps Palestinian. "In 
Israel I am regarded as a traitor . . . and since my release they are 
not respecting my human rights, my freedom of speech, my freedom of 
movement," he said. Mr Vanunu added that he planned to continue his 
anti-nuclear campaign, but that he had no more secrets to reveal. "All I 
knew was published 18 years ago," he said.

To: Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury 
Lambeth Palace, London SE1 7JU England

Dear Rowan

This morning, at 9:00 am local time, 30 Israeli soldiers stormed St. 
George Cathedral and took away Mordechai Vanunu. Now is the time -- in 
the name of the Prince of Peace as well as the respect of our (Anglican) 
Communion, and the defense of our Faith as well as the sanctity of all 
houses of worship -- to put aside your studied neutrality and speak out. 
Otherwise you are no more than a toady. 

Sincerely, Nancy Horn 
Watsontown, Pennsylvania

(Thanks to Israel Shamir for this copy of Nancy's letter).
