Gideon Levy uses the Vanunu case as a starting point for a discussion about dissidents in Israel:
“In Israel, where most of the main issues on the agenda have never been the subject of real debate, where one view prevails on issues from nuclear weapons to the fence, from right of return to Jewish state, there’s no way for anyone with an opposing view to draw attention to their arguments, unless they take drastic action. Nobody would have taken Vanunu seriously if he had not published what he did in the Sunday Times. Nobody would know there is a serious moral issue at stake with the fence, if not for the daily demonstrations its opponents conduct in the territories.”
