Our finest young men are attacking Gaza now. Good boys from good homes are doing bad things... Our excellent pilots are effectively bullies now. As in training flights, they bomb undisturbed, facing neither an air force nor defense system... These are not sadistic Border Police officers beating up Arabs in the alleys of Nablus and the center of Hebron, or cruel undercover soldiers who shoot their targets point-blank in cold blood. These, as we have said, are our finest young men... Is it really the case that our pilots return safely to base, or are they in fact returning to them as callous, cruel and blind people?
