Someone who leaks state secrets is not a “whistleblower”. Vanunu says that he is “pleased” by Grass’ tribute, which tells us what we need to know about him. And we all know about Grass the former SS officer, or at least we ought to. “A Hero In Our Time” sounds suspiciously like “Peace for our time” . . .

He has fond memories of fighting with his Panzer Division in 1945.

I always wondered what happened to Vanunu. They made a TV movie about him. The Mossad used a honey-trap agent to lure him to Italy where they grabbed him and took him back to Israel.

When I was younger, I used to give literary artists such as Grass and Harold Pinter a pass because I enjoyed some of their output. No more.

Though they can draft a pretty sentence, these types are in fact ugly statists who loathe self-determination and personal liberty.

They can rot in Hell with their Nobel Prizes.

And we all know about Grass the former SS officer...

Grass was a conscript, not an officer (17-years-old in 1944, rejected by the navy, drafted into the SS). POS he may be, officer material he never was. But feel free to embellish...
