As I read the news item, the refusal to fly on the part of some of the Zoomie Reservists was because of their projected targets. Some had expressed grave reservations (pun indended!) about the very distinct possibility of collateral damage, and were questioning the government's policy vis a vis the Palestinian question. Much of the Israeli military equipment is US-made, although they do produce a home-grown tank in lieu of our M1.
