Israeli pilot refuseniks...

a handful of Israeli pilots are refusing to execute palestinians with missles.

fine. just send the regular army troops in. special ops ought to be able to get close enough for a handheld weapon, however big. they are probably better shots anyway.

besides, helicopters with missles looks bad on tv because it always has collateral damage. the power imbalance is accentuated.

but then again, guerilla warfare inevitably kills more civilians. especially willing human shields.

either way, the terrorists have got to go (including the 'not dead yet' arfrat) and all of the willing (to die for them) along with.
