Interesting assertion. Do you know that for a fact?

The Plutonium came from the US, it is fairly well documented.
The science is not really that big a secret anymore.


That is not the assertion he was talking about I think.

Actually it was. According to a number of sources, the US did not
give plutonium to Israel although we helped in other ways. Instead
it was the French which helped Israel build the Dimona reactor back in
the late 50s. That reactor is the source of Israel's plutonium. The
reactor's heavy water which is essential, was supplied by Norway in
1959. In 1963, when the reactor started operation, the United States
supplied more heavy water.
