Israeli Activists Urge Air Force Pilots to Refuse Orders to Attack Iran

Israeli peace activists have created an online petition which calls for IAF pilots to refuse to participate in war against Iran.  Though the pilot corps is among the most élite of the entire army, there is a long tradition of resistance within the IDF to serving the Palestinian and Lebanese Occupations.  I'm including both the English and Farsi versions (thanks to Prof. Muhammad Sahimi for the translation) of the Call so that Iranians and English-speakers can read and disseminate it.  Though Iranians undoubtedly know that there are those who oppose an Israeli war against them, it never hurts to remind them--and the world, that there is dissent within Israel about this course.

Perhaps in preparation for such an eventuality, an Israeli (I presume) source has released a list of 100 Israeli air force officers. All of them should think about having their names and images associated with not just an Israeli military disaster, but potential war crimes if radioactive material escapes from one of the stricken Iranian plants and harms civilian populations.  If you think this is unlikely, remember Fukushima.

 

تقاضا از خلبانان نیروی هوائی اسرائیل برای سر باز زدن از بمباران ایران تقاضای ما از شما به خاطر نگرانی و تشویش عمیق ما از شرایط داخلی‌ در حال حاضر کشور است. ما فقط کمی‌ از طریق مطبوعات اطلاع داریم، ولی‌ خیلی‌ چیزها در پس پرده در حال اتفاق افتادن هستند، که ممکن است که از آنها فقط وقتی‌ آگاه شویم که دیر باشد. ما نام شما، وضع خانواد‌گی شما و عقاید شما را نمی‌‌دانیم. ولی‌ یک چیز را حتما میدانیم و آن اینستکه در این زمان سرنوشت ما و آینده ما در دست شما میباشد.

در آینده نزدیک، احتمالاً در چند هفته آینده، به شما این دستور سرنوشت ساز را خواهند داد که سوار هواپیماهای خود شده تا ایران را بمب باران کنید. شما البته این انتخاب را خواهید داشت که از دستور اطاعت کرده، دلایل آنهائی را که دستور را صادر میکنند را بدون هیچ پرسشی قبول کرده، و تلاش کنید که به بهترین شکل ممکن وظیفه خودرا انجام دهید. این به این معنی‌ خواهد بود که شما قبول دارید که بمباران ایران برای دفاع از اسرائیل لازم است، و شما اولین هدف گیری در جنگی که نتایج آن میتواند برای همه ما فاجعه ای‌‌ عظیم باشد را انجام دهید.

ولی‌ این تنها انتخاب شما نخواهد بود. شما میتوانید "نه‌" را انتخاب کنید. البته این انتخاب ساده ای‌‌ نیست. غرور حرفه ای‌‌ و مسائل اخلاقی‌ در میان هستند، انجام این کار ریسک از دست دادن شغل شما را شامل میشود، و حتا ممکن است که محاکمه شوید. در عین حال این وظیفه شما است که به این موضوع توجه کنید که با گفتن کلمه کوچک "نه‌" شما خدمت بزرگ و سرنوشت سازی به اسرائیل و همه ما که اینجا زندگی‌ می‌کنیم می‌کنید. این خدمت بسیار مهمتر از اطاعت کورکورانه از این دستور بخصوص خواهد بود.

مایلیم چندین نکته را که شما هم ممکن است بدانید تأکید کنیم، که هر کدام از آنها باید در لحظه تصمیم گیری مورد توجه باشند:

بر طبق همهٔ برآورد ها، حمله اسرائیل به ایران حتا در بهترین و موفقmآمیز‌ترین شکل آن برنامه هسته ای‌‌ ایران را فقط برای یک تا دو سال عقب خواهد انداخت.

چنین حمله ای‌‌ رژیم ایران را نیرومند تر خواهد کرد و نیروهای مخالف رژیم در داخل ایران را مجبور خواهد کرد که از رژیم حمایت کنند. چنین حمله ای‌‌ شرایط بی‌ ثبات منطقه را هم تحت تأثیر قرار خواهد داد از راه هایی غیر قابل پیش بینی‌، که به اسرائیل صدمه خواهند زد.

حمله اسرائیل به ایران ممکن است باعث حمله متقابل ایران به شهر‌های اسرائیل شود، وضعیتی که شهر‌های اسرائیل که آماده جنگ نیستند در آن خسارات زیادی خواهند دید.

حمله اسرائیل به ایران ممکن است باعث پخش مواد رادیو اکتیو در میان شهروندان غیر نظامی ایرانی‌ شود، و در آن صورت اسرائیل به عنوان کشور حمله کننده و هم چنین اشخاصی‌ که حمله را انجام داده اند برای جنایات جنگی تحت محاکمه توسط دادگاههای بین‌المللی قرار خواهند گرفت.

حمله اسرائیل به ایران و جنگ ممکن است باعث بسته شدن تنگه هرمز شود، و در نتیجه آن عرضه نفت دچار اخلال شده، قیمت نفت شدیدا بالا خواهد رفت، و شرایط اقتصادی جهان بسیار بد تر خواهند شد. در آن صورت مردم اروپا و آمریکا اسرائیل را سر زنش خواهند کرد، که عواقب آن بسیار جدی خواهند بود.

و نهایتا: ما می‌دانیم که زمانی‌ که شما برای انجام ماموریت می‌روید، ریسک‌های شخصی‌ بسیاری را قبول می‌کنید. در عین حال شما باید این نکته راmکه ممکن است دست کم یکی‌ از شما اسیر ایران شود را مورد توجه قرار دهید،mچرا که در آن صورت شرایط سیاسی و اخلاقی‌ که اسرائیل با آن مواجه خواهدmبود بسیار شدید تر و بد تر از آنچه که در مورد گیلاد شلیت وجود داشت خواهد بود.

به عنوان جمع بندی، ما تصمیم برای بمب باران ایران را یک قمار بسیار غلط می‌دانیم، که برای اسرائیل ریسک‌های بزرگی‌ خواهد داشت، ولی‌ مساله اصلی‌ را حل نخواهد کرد. هم طور که قبلان گفتیم، حمله برنامه اتمی‌ ایران را متوقف نخواهد کرد، بلکه فقط آن را تا قدری به تاخیر خواهد انداخت، ولی‌mبرای این تاخیر موقت همه ما باید بهای گزافی را بپردازیم. شما، خلبانانmنیروی هوائی اسرلیل، بیشتر از هر کس دیگر قدرت واقعی‌ را دارید که از این فاجعه جلوگیری کنید.

هیچ کس برای شما تصمیم نمی‌تواند بگیرد. ما امیدواریم - بخاطر خودتان و ما - اگر آن لحظه تصمیم گیری آمد، تصمیم درست را بگیرید.

Signed!

by Roozbeh_Gilani on

Now, do you have a similar petition to Ali Khamenei the "supreme leader" of the Islamist Republic of Iran for me to sign? Something along the lines of:

"My undeniable right as an Iranian, is peace, justice, Jobs, Education, affordable food for all and Freedom of speech not your pathetic wet dreams of aquiring a nuclear bomb at any cost and Ruling the world"!

 

"Personal business must yield to collective interest."


Divest from War pledge campaign

Here is another petition, for all of us to sign

by Divest from War pledge ca... on

While I applaud the Israeli activists for "urging" the pilots to not commit more war crimes, at the end of the day, most will follow the orders of the generals, who will follow the orders of the government.

So how can we get the government of Israel to not issue the orders? One way in which all of us can play a small part would be to take 30 seconds and sign a pledge to boycott Israel if it attacks Iran:

 //www.divestfromwar.org

The leaders in Israel (like leaders in any country) will do a cost-benefit analysis before deciding to go to war. Let us (nonviolently) increase the cost to them of starting another war.

 Please sign the petition, and please spread the word about it.

Enough of war mongering

by Rea on

Good for the Israeli peace activists.

But, in the meantime, where are IRI peace activists? Too busy shouting "death to Israel" ?

The true ones are in IRI prisons, or too scared to come out.

Sadistic Scientists

by Shirzadegan on

" Joseph Mengele who you mentioned was a sadistic mad-man and there have been many who have proven his Nazi eugenic science to be a pseudo-science, not real science" Frashogar

Whoever worked for Nazi Germany were sadistic, similary whoever works for ruling mullahs in Iran are sadistic. The sadistic behavior is crystal clear when you watch the videos of uprising our people during june 2009. In the video the innocent, defeseless women get beaten up, brutally clubing by Basijj, revolutionary guard. If you haven't wathch it as soon as you can. Sadistic act is so vivid that no one can deny that fact. Not only that. The torture of thousand and thousand decent Iranians in Evin and other prisons. The dramatic murder of Neda and Zahra Kazemi. The brutal suppression of any voice of oppositions who don't believe in Velayat Faghih. All and all are the indications of Sadistic minds of these monsters similar to Joseph mengelo. Just imagine the same people have a bomb in their hands. Of course, I am very much sure it won't get to that point. Westerners are smarter than Iranian 33 years ago who were betrayed by these monsters and their game play. Westermers know what is going on. Unlike Iranians 33 years ago, the westerners never see the image of khomainie on the surface of moon. I am sure they will take care of the monsters before it gets out of hand.       

     "Israel should be wipe out from the map". Isn't that statement sounds familiar? That is the devil.  Decent person never sell his/her knowlege to devil. Scientists are the same as doctors have obligation to save human's lives, not to destroy human lives. Once they are diverted from purpose of saving human lives, they are sadistic scientists and they must be killed in order to save lives of million innocent people. That is just as simple as it appears. How do you know those monsters who works in site of Natanz, Qum and other atomic bombs are NOT the same as Joseph Mengelo.? How do you know?  Did you or any other psychologists ran a personality test on those monsters? Did anyone screen these scientist monsters as far as mental health concerned? How about their idea about life and death and their religion believes? Did anyone exam them to find out whether they believe infidel must be killed.? Did anyone tested them if they truely believe any one who don't believe in koran must be killed?  NO, no one tested these monsters. The same as Joseph mengelo. No one examed his character or persoanlity prior to assign him for the job. Thousands and thousands Nazi German who were brainwashed by Hitler never been head examed prior to burns jews in chambers. Similary hundreds and hundreds of Basiiji, Gaurds and monsters scientists who devoted themselves to work for ruling mullahs in Iran never been head examed prior to be hired by those bastards. Devil is devil. Developing atomic bomb to wipe out innocent people is an act of "Evil" and must be stopped in any price.

I have a better idea. Round up all warmongers everywhere and do what you propose. Scientists are generally men or women of learning and research, whether they are Iranian, Israeli, American, European or whatever. Those scientists who are used by the warmongering politicians and leaders are only partially to blame. Most of them are simpy trying to make a living in a bad environment. Joseph Mengele who you mentioned was a sadistic mad-man and there have been many who have proven his Nazi eugenic science to be a pseudo-science, not real science.

RE: Devil scientists

by Shirzadegan on

The scientists who are serving "Evil" should be killed in order to save the lives of million innocent people in Israel. During WWII, there was a sceintist by the name of JOSEPH MINGLO who was doing experimentals on Jews. He did a lot of inhuman experiments on twins. For example, he kept one of the twins hungery till she dies to see the impact of hunger on the other twin. Jews in concentration camp used to call him "Angle of Death". The bastard never got caught and flew to south america. He married 2 times under assumed name in south america. Recently they found some remains whom to believed  it was the remain of the JOSEPH MINGLO.

If someone could killed that monster back then, he could save the lives of thousand and thousand innocent people.

That was about 70 years ago.

   Now, I wish I could kill those monsters scientists in Iran. Those monsters brought bad reputation in international community for decent Iranian people.

    If I could do the job,  I am sure the history would have judged me as a "good person" who save the lives of million innocent people in Israel. This concept can never be comprehended by ruling mullahs in Iran because those are devils in human faces.

Also faramarz. While at this writing business

by Soosan Khanoom on

Could you start one asking the Mussed to stop killing Iranian Scientists?  Or should I write one and you sign? 


Soosan Khanoom

Good idea Faramarz

by Soosan Khanoom on

Write one I will sign !
The difference is Sepah keeps denying ( and we know they lie) but Bibi is so porru that he keeps yelling and asking for U.S and the world to bomb Iran.

As I said I shall sign. Thanks for the idea.


Truthseeker9

Or yet another petition for our Peace activists on IC

by Truthseeker9 on

to get Iran to call a meeting with Israeli leaders, reassure them that their threats are just empty words indicating their support for the Palestinians. As an earnest of his concern for the region the SL could send a few of his grandchildren to study in Israel or in its neighbouring territories.

He could also invite the Palestinians to come and live among the Iranians and offer them a homeland and citizenship to demonstrate the depth of his laudable concern for them.

A Petition for Sepah

by Faramarz on

 

 

How about a petition to urge the Regime's Sepah to refuse to attack and kill innocent Syrian civilians and do their pilgrimage in Ghom or Mashd instead?

by Soosan Khanoom on

Thank you for posting this.  I certainly hope that the people of Israel are going to be more heard. Time for them to stand up for peace and  be more active in that front. Time to kick BiBi out of the office...


Soosan Khanoom

It is the same in Israel , Rozbeh

by Soosan Khanoom on

The poor guy wrote a poem and he got banned from entering Israel forever.  I am talking abut that German poet.  There are Jewish American peace activists that are the most wanted if they ever enter Israel.  Of course Iran is way more dictatorial   ..  That is because we have more people who are awaken  compare to the Sheepis in Israel.  Otherwise, Mussed is not there to throw candy..


Frashogar

It does in Israel as well

by Frashogar on

Even to Jews //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mordechai_Vanunu

There's a lot in common between the IRI and Israel these days. Pity the leaders and politicians of these two states couldn't be more rational, less tyrannical, and instead stand together as allies against the real enemy: the Saudi and Gulf Arab monarchies.


Roozbeh_Gilani

Yes, indeed, very good!

by Roozbeh_Gilani on

It is a shame though, that a similar action by Iranians, opposing islamist regime's warmongering and terrorism, would lead to their certain imprisonment, torture and execution...

Mazel tov!

by Frashogar on

This is very good. There should also be a petition for the head of Bibi Netanyahu, Ehud Barack and 2/3 of all current politicians in Israel.
