【イスラエルは「反乱」パイロットで大騒ぎ】
エルサレム：イスラエルは昨日、市民に死者がでるかもしれないパレスチナの軍事組織に対する攻撃作戦を遂行することを拒否した空軍パイロット達を激しく非難し、地上に降ろした。
この「パイロットの反乱」は、イスラエル最大の新聞である Yedioth Ahronoth の解説者によれば、反撃するパレスチナ人との抗争に対して他の（イスラエルの）兵士も同調するかもしれないものだ。
シャロン首相は「誰でも自分の意見を述べる権利はあるが、軍人の集団が高度な政治的決定に関する問題に干渉するというのは認められるものではない。」と述べた。
空軍のダン・ハルツ司令官は、この（反乱）集団でまだ軍務についている者は地上に降ろされ、発言を撤回する機会を与えられが、そうしない場合は空軍を除籍されるだろうという声明を述べた。
【Israel pounds 'mutiny' pilots】
http://www.gulf-daily-news.com/Articles.asp?Article=62588&Sn=WORL
JERUSALEM:Israel sharply criticised and grounded yesterday a group of air force pilots who refused to carry out missions against Palestinian militants in which civilians could be killed.
"The pilots' mutiny" was how Israel's largest newspaper, Yedioth Ahronoth, described their action as commentators speculated whether other soldiers might follow suit in opposing the way the military confronts a Palestinian uprising.
"Everyone has the right to voice their opinion, but it is unacceptable that a group of military men interfere in such
an issue, an issue decided on by the political echelon after great deliberation," Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said.
The air force chief, Major-General Dan Halutz, said in a statement that those in the group still in active service would be grounded and given a chance to retract their statement or face dismissal from the air force.

また、ハーレツ紙にはこの「反乱パイロット」の声明が載っていますが、このパイロット達は27名の予備役兵を含むグループのようで、署名して命令を拒否したようです。
「イスラエルのために働き、また働いてきた退役と現役のパイロットである我々は、占領地区においてイスラエルが執行してきたような不法で不道徳な攻撃命令には反対します。」
「我々にとってイスラエル国防軍は一心同体と言えるものですが、我々は罪もない市民を攻撃し続けることを拒否します。継続する占領は我が国の安全に対して決定的な害を及ぼすものです。」
という文面が含まれた署名文書のようです。
このことは、イスラエル軍の「攻撃命令」は市民の犠牲を省みないものであったということであり、これはシャロン内閣の「高度な政治的決定」がこのような性格のものであるということを示しています。
今後、イラクの連合軍にもこのような「反乱」が波及するかもしれません。

PM: Pilots' refusal reminds me of 1982 attempt to topple gov't
By Amos Harel and Gideon Alon, Haaretz Correspondents, and Haaretz Service
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon on Friday condemned the
letter of refusal signed by 27 reserve Air Force
pilots, in which they stated that they would not
participate in operations in the West Bank and
Gaza Strip.
Speaking in a holiday interview
to Israel Radio, Sharon said
that the letter reminded him
that there had also been an
attempt to overthrow a
democratically-elected
government during the 1982
Lebanon War.
Sharon's comments were an
apparent reference to the decision to resign by
Amram Mitzna, who was commander of the IDF
Command College during the Lebanon War.
Mitzna cited the behavior of then defense
minister Sharon during the invasion of Israel's
northern neighbor, in particular regarding the
massacres in the Sabra and Shatila refugee
camps, as the reasons for his decision.
The signatories to the letter wrote they would
refuse to take part in aerial attacks on
populated Palestinian areas in the territories.
"We, both veteran and active pilots, who have
served and who still serve the state of Israel,
are opposed to carrying out illegal and immoral
orders to attack, of the type Israel carries
out in the territories," the letter states.
"We, for whom the IDF and the air force are an
integral part of our being, refuse to continue
to hit innocent civilians... The continued
occupation is critically harming the country's
security" and moral fiber, it added.
The Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense
Committee said Thursday it would meet next week
to discuss the letter. The committee will meet
next Tuesday, following the Rosh Hashanah
holiday.
Also Thursday, Air Force Commander-in-Chief
Major General Dan Halutz issued an order to
ground the 27 signatories - nine of whom are
still on active duty - who signed the letter,
details of which were published last week in
Haaretz.
On Thursday, seven Air Force pilots sent a
letter to Halutz rejecting the pilots' refusal
to serve in the territories, saying they were
not doing anything immoral by operating in the
territories.
Attorney General Elyakim Rubinstein said
Thursday that any IDF activity that is
conducted according to the directives of the
Judge Advocate General Corps, the attorney
general's office and the Supreme Court is
legal.
Rubinstein said that although the army does not
generally consult with the attorney general's
office before a specific operation, legal
experts do conduct discussions and issue
instructions on issues such as the extent the
army should go to aovid wounding innocent
civilians during an operation.
After the Israel Defense Forces attempted to
assassinate Hamas spiritual leader Sheikh Ahmed
Yassin about three weeks ago, military leaders
said the reason the operation had failed was
that the army used a relatively small explosive
device so as to minimize civilian casualties.
Halutz told Haaretz on Wednesday night he
planned to treat the signatories "in the same
way as the IDF has dealt with refuseniks until
now. This method has proven itself."
He called the refusal to serve "the mother of
all dangers" to Israel.
The nine pilots will be called to meetings with
the heads of their bases in the coming days. If
they do not retract their statement, they will
be dismissed from active service.
Halutz has also ordered the grounding of those
pilots who signed the letter and who currently
serve as flight instructors at the flight
school at the Hatzerim base in the south of the
country. "These are not the people who should
educate the next generation of pilots," Halutz
said.
