A letter from Israel's 'refuseniks' to the F-16 pilots who became murderers in a quest for glory.
A FEW QUESTIONS TO THE PILOTS OF Israel's F-16 who murdered many children in Gaza this wek
IDF Refuseniks: 'those who took part in the liquidation
of Salah Shehadeh and 14 other human beings,
among them 6 children, and 2 babies, leaving
150 mostly women and children wounded.
Do you know the concept 'manifestly illegal order'?
Is the order which you followed one of them?
Is there a limit to what you would be willing to do?
When you were briefed about your mission - did
you to try to check that there wouldn't be innocent
civilians in the house you were going to bombard?
If you knew there were, didn't you hesitate, at least for a short moment, before you pulled the trigger?
Do you justify the death of children, babies because of the sins of their father?
Arent' you the elite of the soldiers? Aren't pilots considered the spearpoint of the armed forces as well as the Israeli society - also for their moral
standards?
Do you remember that there were times that we
would have canceled an action when the susipicion rose that innocents may be hit -
because such were the values according to which we were brought
up, and because these were the norms of the armed forces which we joined?
And these were the norms we were proud of.
Nearly unnoticed the State of Israel has turned into a state which doesn't scruple using whatever means
in order to achieve its political aims.
We hide the face of the soldiers for fear of the
International Court of War Crimes, just like criminals hide their face for fear of the police.

**************************************************
TAC: Well folks, I can remember the old tattered films of the Nuremberg wartime trials we saw as kids as one Nazi after another stepped up before the tribunial of judges and stated that it was not a matter of choice--but a matter of hollowed duty, as a soldier--to follow orders in the annihilation of millions of Gypsies, Catholics, Homosexuals, Jews and other 'undesirables,' and on this note the world decided to send most of the worst criminal's of the broken down Nazi war machine to the gallows to pay for their hideous crimes against humanity.
The precedent set at these war trials was that murdering civilian's under 'any' circumstances was an 'unlawful order' that a soldier could refuse to 'execute' ( pardon the word ).
Today, we have in Israel the victims of Nazism performing the same vile acts of CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY and the 'eternal' victims have nothing to say in defense of their monsterous acts of Nazism, apartheid, racism, bigotry and US financed STATE SPONSORED TERRORISM, as the world shudders at Israel's vile acts against basically unarmed Palestinian civilian's.
And if this was not bad enough, we have our own 'terrorist' in the Whitehouse--Ah so quiet, as a church mouse--so inconspicious by his silence in his criminal negligence in the Gazain Israeli murder's of this week--and oh so 'out of breath' ( like a thief in the dark ) as he has the gall to state to the American people ( through his spokesman, of-course ) that he does not see these Israeli murders with US supplied F-16's and US supplied bombs as a violation of the US Arms Export Act that Israel signed years go!
Can you imagine, this incompetent excuse for a leader of the greatest military & economic power in our galaxy stating that the murders he condones with the continious flow of green lights to the LIKUDNIK gang-of-thugs led by Ariel Sharon in the Israeli Knesset 'are not a violation' of these signed agreements Israel has signed before accepting US weaponry?
If this were an Arab country supplying these weapons of mass destruction to attack Israel--the same low brow hypocrite would already be gassing up the Tomahawks and feeding coordinates into the cruise missiles computer memories as we did in Serbia, not so long ago.
It removes any doubt as to why the CEO of the United States would fight tooth-n-nail to cause the demise of the ICC ) International Crimes Court, because as things are looking right now, he and his low life LIKUDNIK 'buddy' Ariel Sharon, would have ringside seats at the world court at the Hague with all of his Jewish pals lawyers in the US Congress, AIPAC/ZOA, and Washington DC proper trying to 'spring' him!
Oh Mr. President, 'you are truly a sorry bastard! I honestly believe all the alcohol and the blizzard of cocaine you snorted in college has left you morally dead inside and more importantly, a menace to the welfare of the people of the US and of the free world!
You have convinced this American that another WTC is just a heartbeat away and that the decent Jew's of Israel--under the heavy handed murderous Zionist 'cult' that currently holds all the aces in the Israeli political game, will be assured more violence and deaths in the hands of this most 'wanted' unindicted mass murderer and Prime Minister of Israel--Ariel Sharon.
Nuff Said,
