@xmikemac @HappyLeiner @DefiyantlyFree My black friends and I watch this together and we think it's hilarious. But maybe if I watched it with Greta Thunberg...

My father, Elie Wiesel, received the Nobel Peace Prize for ensuring the Holocaust wouldn’t be forgotten. By honoring Navi Pillay, who accused Israel of genocide, the committee has betrayed his legacy. https://t.co/Bt9xzSJ8xX

Now we know: FZ1073’s Omani co-pilot was radicalised in Australia, consumed extremist material, had links to a Muslim Brotherhood-linked centre in Melbourne, trained in boxing, and was inspired by 9/11. The investigation continues. This is UAE transparency, and it should be celebrated by the world: facts released, evidence followed, justice above all.

God bless the Flydubai Indian pilot, crew, and Israeli passengers who stopped this terrorist attack.

🚨 FZ1073 INVESTIGATION UPDATE

Investigations being conducted by the UAE Public Prosecution found:

• The 29-year-old Omani co-pilot allegedly attempted to seize control of FZ1073 and use the aircraft in a suicide attack on the passenger terminal at Ben Gurion Airport, intending to cause maximum casualties.

• Investigators traced his turn toward extremist ideology to 2017 while studying in Australia, where he consumed extremist publications and online content glorifying terrorism and suicide attacks.

• According to his confession, he became inspired by the 9/11 attacks and developed the idea of carrying out a similar attack using an aircraft—something he said influenced his decision to pursue aviation.

• His aviation career included Oman Air (2020–2024), Royal Air Maroc (2025), and Flydubai from January 2026.

• While studying in Melbourne, he attended an RMIT-affiliated mosque and became acquainted with people running MyCentre, which he claimed was supported by an association linked to the Muslim Brotherhood.

• He allegedly prepared himself psychologically and physically by consuming terrorism-inciting material and undergoing private boxing training.

• Investigators found that he used two previous flights to Tel Aviv to reconnoitre the route and airport before attempting to execute his plan on his third flight on 30 September 2026.

• His Flydubai recruitment procedures were also examined. He had satisfied the required professional and security checks, with no indication at the time of extremist views or terrorist intent.

• During FZ1073, he allegedly attacked the captain inside the cockpit with an emergency crash axe, targeting his head.

• A return-flight captain, who happened to be onboard, noticed unusual activity around the cockpit, gained entry, and—with a cabin crew member and passengers—helped rescue the injured captain and subdue the accused.

• The return-flight captain and his co-pilot then regained control, diverted FZ1073 and landed safely in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia.

• In the presence of his lawyer, the accused gave a detailed confession and claimed he acted alone.

• The UAE Public Prosecution is still investigating whether there were accomplices or other connections and continues examining recordings, technical reports and other evidence.

The investigation continues.

@ArmandDAngour Blech! This is literature?

The amazing Typewriter Concerto...
For anyone who needs a smile today...
This is Leroy Anderson's 'The Typewriter' for orchestra, complete with all the familiar 'dings' and clitter-clattering of a typewriter. The soloist here is Alfredo Anaya, with conductor Miguel Roa

Not just the artful inversion of History nor merely its distortion but a total invention and an attempt to erase Jewish indeed Judean life from the Holy Land - a project that is both farcically preposterous and shamelessly malignant - and replace well-documented fact with ideological fantasy.... by the Burnham Government's chief guide to its Middle Eastern policy...
