Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Israeli refusenicks.
A group of Israeli air force [link|http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/3137392.stm|pilots are refusing] to carry out strikes against targets in the Palestinian territories.

The declaration by 27 pilots, some of whom regularly carry out combat missions, has been condemned by Israeli military leaders.

Israel frequently launches air strikes designed to kill Palestinian militants in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

The Israeli Government describes the operations as "targeted killings", but Palestinians and human rights groups condemn them as assassinations - and note that innocent civilians are often killed as well.
These are candles in an otherwise terribly dark place.

New they are correct
there is plent of ways to target those folks without helicopters and missiles. Hitting people who are determined to kill every Jew in the area is not wrong, too much deaths of innocents is morally wrong. These people need to be killed in their cars. houses etc but with minimum fallout. The Israelis have the ability to do it but at the cost of several operatives per target their dont have the will to take those odds. Perhaps this will awaken the will needed.
Alternatively suicide bombings in the other direction would have a similar effect from a stop the violence perspective. Killing without risk to self is considered rude in most cultures.
thanx,

No wonder we unwaveringly support Israel. They fight just like us.

The soul and substance of what customarily ranks as patriotism is moral cowardice and always has been...We have thrown away the most valuable asset we had-- the individual's right to oppose both flag and country when he (just he, by himself) believed them to be in the wrong. We have thrown it away; and with it all that was really respectable about that grotesque and laughable word, Patriotism.
