Following Anwar Sadat's visit to Israel in 1978, Perry was one of the leaders of the 348 Israeli military reserve officers petition urging Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin to continue with the 'drive for peace'. This petition led to the creation of Peace Now,{{Cite web|url=http://www.peacenow.org.il/site/en/peace.asp?pi=43|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20091013025934/http://www.peacenow.org.il/site/en/peace.asp?pi=43|url-status=dead |title=Peace Now : About > About Us|archivedate=October 13, 2009}} an organization dedicated to raising public support for the peace process. Perry has opposed Israeli settlements in the West Bank, which he perceives as immoral and an obstacle to the possibility of peace with the Palestinians. Motty Perry was also among the Air Force reserve pilots who caused controversy on Rosh Hashanah in 2003 with their declaration that they would refuse to participate in "targeted killings".{{Cite web|url=http://www.fmep.org/analysis/analysis/pilots-letter|title=The Pilots' Letter}}{{dead link|date=February 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}[http://www.seruv.org.il/english/article.asp?msgid=55&type=news Courage to Refuse] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100308102144/http://www.seruv.org.il/english/article.asp?msgid=55&type=news |date=2010-03-08 }} Pilots letter The Pilots’ Letter, which was sent to the commander of the Air Force, generated media awareness in Israel and the world.{{cite news |title=27 Israeli Reserve Pilots Say They Refuse to Bomb Civilians (Published 2003) |work=The New York Times |date=25 September 2003 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230530180944/https://www.nytimes.com/2003/09/25/world/27-israeli-reserve-pilots-say-they-refuse-to-bomb-civilians.html |archive-date=2023-05-30 |url-status=live |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2003/09/25/world/27-israeli-reserve-pilots-say-they-refuse-to-bomb-civilians.html |last1=Myre |first1=Greg }}{{cite web |title='We're air force pilots, not mafia.
