All those idiots who think the Dubai flight was a set up by @Israel you are so jealous that finally the world sees how amazing @IDF and Israelis are! We Jews couldnโt be prouder!
Pilot Smit Machchar, speaking with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi from a hospital in the UAE:
"I feel an immense sense of pride. At that moment, I was fighting for my life, but I realized that if I didn't get up and act โ after being seriously injured and lying on the floor โ no one else would. I've been flying planes for 17 years and have been a captain for the last 11 years, and I know what's happening on the plane, even with my eyes closed. I knew that only one more push was needed to open the door. Despite my injuries, I opened it, and the rest of the crew came in and did their part. I knew I couldn't let the passengers die."
Flydubai captain Smit Machchhar: โI knew these might be my final moments, I was ready to die. But I told myself: just open the door, just do it.โ
One of the greatest heroes in history ๐๐ฎ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ฑ
You can unfollow me if you want but watching a bunch of Israelis stop a plane hijacking was pretty freaking badass. Thank you to those heroes for saving innocent lives. ๐ซก
๐ฎ๐ณ REMEMBER THIS MAN: CAPTAIN SMIT MACHCHHAR.
An Indian captain flying hundreds of people from Dubai to Tel Aviv was stabbed in his own cockpit.
Wounded, bleeding, with the aircraft plunging thousands of feet, he fought back.
Then passengers and crew did something extraordinary:
They stormed the cockpit.
They restrained the attacker.
Other pilots took control.
And that plane LANDED.
Hundreds of families got their loved ones back today because ordinary people refused to freeze when everything went wrong.
Captain Smit Machchhar โ India and the whole WORLD should be proud of you. ๐ฎ๐ณ
And to the passengers and crew who ran toward the danger instead of away from it:
Heroes. Every single one of you.
This is what courage looks like.
PM Netanyahu:
โTo the protesters outside, to the hypocritical delegates who left this hall, I ask: Where were you when the Iranian tyrants butchered and maimed tens of thousands of unarmed Iranian civilians? When they butchered and maimed thousands of their own people? Where were you?
Did you organize mass rallies? Hunger strikes? Did you protest outside the Iranian mission to the UN? Did you speak up, for that matter, for Christians persecuted in Iran and throughout the Middle East?
No. No, you didnโt do that, because youโre phony human rights protesters.โ
5.5 million dead in the Congo: silence
500,000 dead in Syria: silence
500,000 dead in Sudan: silence
400,000 dead in Yemen: silence
300,000 dead in Iraq: silence
250,000 dead in Afghanistan: silence
70K dead in Gaza (majority of them terrorists), the entire UN: โGAZA!!โ
Free Palestine is the dumbest political slogan in history. The people who repeat it donโt understand the conflict, and have no idea what theyโre talking about.
Their ignorance is so profound that to call them simply misinformed would be to pay them a compliment.
Israel is not the aggressor. โPalestineโ is.
Religiously mandated Islamic Jew hatred is the cause of the conflict. The Muslims donโt want freedom. Freedom is un-Islamic. They want to kill Jews.
They donโt want their own state. Theyโve had multiple opportunities, and theyโve rejected it every time.
Israel gave them Gaza in 2005 for the promise of peace, uprooting thousands of Israelis from their homes. The Muslims could have turned it into a tourist paradise and a glittering jewel on the Mediterranean coast.
Instead, they turned it into a terror hub and started raining down Iranian missiles on Israeli civilians. They spent the billions they received in aid to build terror tunnels from which to attack civilians.
If these savages ever got their own state (which they wonโt, thank God) the last thing it would be is free. It would be an Islamic hellhole run like Gaza is run today, with summary executions and routine torture of anyone who steps out of line. Anyone suspected of being gay would be thrown from a rooftop to their death and their body dragged through the street behind a motorcycle.
Israel is the good guy in this conflict. One day you โFree Palestineโ morons will wake up and realise that, and youโll cringe at the people you are now.
People need to do research and see how much the great country of Israel has changed the world with all of their innovations. Again do some homework and stop listening to the crazies
Got sent this by one of my many friends who are pretty sick of this genocide shit. Most sensible and serious people are. But thatโs not the approved narrative.
Maher articulates EXACTLY the position of the silent majority. Which in my case was never silent.
If you were young in 2001, or werenโt even born yet, it can be hard to imagine what 9/11 felt like. The shock of that beautiful, cloudless morning. The heartbreak of the families whose loved ones were taken with such swiftness and cruelty. The realization that the forces of malevolence and violence were closer, and the future less certain, than we knew.
But in the days that followed, we felt something else, too. Pride in the rescue workers who had rushed to the scene, and the passengers who had stormed the cockpit. Admiration for the men and women who left behind lives of comfort to serve their country. A deep resolve that nothing would break the will of a truly United States of America.
Today Michelle and I are remembering those we lost that day, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the wars that followed. We pray for their families. And we hope Americans everywhere remember the true lesson of 9/11: that we can survive even our darkest days as long as we move forward as one nation and one people.
