- Twenty-seven pilots addressed a letter to Air Force commander
Maj.-Gen. Dan Halutz stating their refusal to serve in anti-terror operations.
-
- We, the IAF pilots, that were educated on the lap of
Zionism, sacrifice and giving to Israel, always served on the front line
ready to execute any order, hard as easy, so as to protect and strengthen
Israel;
-
- We, reserve pilots and active pilots as one, that served
and still serve Israel for long weeks every year, oppose carrying out attack
orders that are illegal and immoral of the type that Israel executes in
the territories;
-
- We, that were raised to love Israel and to contribute
to the Zionist endeavor, refuse to take part in IAF attacks in civilian
population centers;
-
- We, that the IDF and the IAF are an integral part of
who we are, refuse to continue to injure innocent civilians.
-
- These actions are illegal and immoral and are the direct
result of an extended occupation that is corrupting the Israeli society
as a whole.
-
- The continuation of the occupation is seriously harming
the security of Israel and its moral integrity.
-
- We who serve as active pilots - as fighters, leaders
and instructors of the next generation of pilots - declare here that we
will continue to serve in the IDF and the IAF in any mission for the protection
of Israel.
