Israeli Pilots refuse to bomb Civilians: 'We're air force pilots, not mafia. We don't take revenge': "'Is it legitimate to take F-15's and helicopters designed to destroy enemy tanks, and use them against cars and houses in one of the most heavily populated places in the world?' Capt Alon R asked.
'Because of the terrorism, we have become blinded by the blood on our own faces. We cannot see that on the other side, beside the terrorists, is a whole nation of innocent people. It's important that we recognise that, and that, as military people, we say that.'
