I.D.F. Pilots Protest War in Gaza Outside Israeli Military Headquarters

“This is the biggest gathering of ex-Israeli Air Force pilots in the history of Israel. More than 500 of us are going to be here with a clear demand, which is basically the same as 75 percent of the Israeli public: to stop the war, to make a hostage deal, certainly not to expand the war because this war and expansion will only cause the death of the hostages, the death more Israeli soldiers and the death of many more innocent Palestinians in Gaza.” “We never went out against any war that we had in the past. Never — it’s the first time ever. But it means something. It’s a kind of hint to the government — look, you’re not free to do whatever you want. You’re not free to kill our people in vain.”
