I prefer to stay lowkey, leave people clueless, and let them assume what they want.

Not praising or posting about the Flydubai Indian Pilot is the Shah Bano of RaGa.

[GimpelTheMaccabee🎗️ @MaccabiGimpel]

The Omani pilot asked the Indian pilot if he could leave his seat to pray and after being granted permission, he attacked the Captain with the axe from behind.

This is actually a great metaphor for the west.

[Shiv Aroor @ShivAroor]

⚠️ New details on what happened inside the Flydubai cockpit, in Captain Smit Machchar’s own account to the Israeli PM:

1️⃣ The flight was normal. The co-pilot said he wanted to pray, something Machchar says was not unusual among local pilots.

2️⃣ Machchar faced forward while the co-pilot prayed behind him.

3️⃣ Four or five minutes later, Machchar says he was suddenly struck hard on the back of his head.

4️⃣ His first thought was catastrophic aircraft damage. Then the blows kept coming. He realised it was the co-pilot attacking him.

5️⃣ The initial blows left his vision severely blurred. He tried to fight back, but says he could barely see.

6️⃣ His next sensation was the aircraft plunging sharply. His memory of these moments remains fragmented.

7️⃣ He recalls managing to open the cockpit door once, but says the co-pilot apparently shut it again.

8️⃣ Lying on the cockpit floor, he could hear the aircraft rushing through the air and passengers screaming.

9️⃣ Machchar says he realised he had “one last fight” left. His thought was brutally simple: if he didn’t act, he was going to die.

🔟 He threw everything he had into reaching and opening the cockpit door. People outside were waiting to pounce. They entered, control was regained.

For those who don’t remember, the concept of hijacking commercial aircraft and killing passengers for political reasons was developed and implemented in the 1970’s by the PLO.

The Palestinian Liberation Organization

⚠️ IF THAT FLYDUBAI PLANE HAD CRASHED…

1️⃣ The Indian pilot would have been blamed instantly.

2️⃣ Racists would have flooded social media with “Indian pilots” narratives before investigators even reached the wreckage.

3️⃣ Pakistani troll accounts would have amplified it, turning a tragedy into another India-bashing opportunity.

4️⃣ AI171 and the Phuket incidents would have been dragged in as evidence of a “pattern of behaviour” of Indian pilots.

5️⃣ Every unrelated Indian aviation incident would suddenly have become part of a narrative about supposedly “unsafe Indian pilots”.

6️⃣ Meanwhile, Oman’s lack of any meaningful history of aviation terrorism would have been used to bolster the India pilot angle.

7️⃣ If Indian pilot Capt Smit hadn’t survived & fought back to save the plane, the world would have got an entirely different story.

[Shiv Aroor @ShivAroor]

Nice how the terrorist co-pilot’s name and identity are being protected.

[Open Letter @openletteryt]

had the plane crashed, they would have blamed it all on indian pilot, isn't it?

because calling the other one a "terrorist" would've hurt their feelings...

[Keaton Hobby @RealKeatonHobby]

If a co-pilot stabs the captain and tries to crash a plane full of Israelis, and your first instinct is “don’t call it terrorism,” you’re not a journalist.

You’re a publicist.

[Shiv Aroor @ShivAroor]

Never forget the words the western press used for what happened in the cockpit.

[Afghan Zoroastrian @AfgZoroastrian]

Japan and Germany got totally destroyed in WW2.

But their kids didn’t become terrorists.

Stop making excuses for yours.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

Captain Smit Machchhar is a HERO.

In the face of the gravest danger and despite being seriously injured, he showed immense courage and an unwavering resolve to protect the lives of others.

His valour helped save hundreds of lives and avert a great tragedy.

India is proud of Captain Machchhar.

Praying for his speedy recovery, renewed strength and good health.

[Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו @netanyahu]

My salute to the Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar for his extraordinary bravery.

Despite being stabbed and seriously injured, he fought back, resisted, opened the cockpit door, and enabled passengers and crew to overpower the attacker — preventing a catastrophic mid-air disaster.

He saved the lives of 174 people, including Israeli citizens and other nationals.

I wish Captain Machchhar a speedy and full recovery.

He is a true hero.

[Kosher @koshercockney]

I’d much rather have an Israeli sat next to me on a flight than any Free Palestine retard.

[Joel Richardson @Joel7Richardson]

Israelis are amazing. A bunch of them on a plane. They hear a ruckus in the cockpit, smash the door open, save the captain who has been stabbed by the co-pilot, subdue and neutralize him, then they commandeer the plane and land it. Everyone survives. Name any other nation in the world that produces the kind of people capable of pulling this off.

[Gabbar @GabbbarSingh]

The situation was quite like 9/11.

Terrorist trained to be a pilot, looks for an opportunity to enter the cockpit, and then kill the captain to eventually take control of the plane & crash it.

This plan was even more foolproof. The terrorist was the co-pilot, no need of announcing a hijack, had an axe instead of a box-cutter, and just had to neutralise one pilot instead of two.

Imagine the bravery of the Indian pilot, who was relentlessly being attacked by an axe, yet managed to relay the signal of a hi jack. And MOST IMPORTANTLY opened the cockpit door so that others can enter. Saved 100+ lives.

The Gujarati pilot, Smit deserves the biggest bravery award. 🙏

[𝐍𝐢𝐨𝐡 𝐁𝐞𝐫𝐠 🇮🇷 ✡︎ @NiohBerg]

Basically, if you ever find yourself on a plane about to be hijacked, make sure there's a lot of Israelis on board to prevent it.

Pretty sure almost no other group of people could pull something like this off.

Incredible.

[JewniorProMax @JewniorProMax]

PRO TIP:
Next time you try to Highjack a plane, maybe try the easier level, like an Irish airplane that would love to get highjacked, and not a plane full of Israeli army veterans, with combat training, a short fuse and a burning hate for terrorists…you are not ready for that level

[Dr. Maalouf ‏ @realMaalouf]

So, a Muslim co-pilot flying from Dubai to Tel Aviv stabs the other pilot and starts screaming “Allahu Akbar”, attempting to deliberately crash the plane in a suicide mission.

Passengers were able to get into the cockpit and subdue the terrorist. Two of the passengers were also pilots and took control of the aircraft, landing it safely and saving all 180 people on board from what would otherwise have been a fatal crash.

They really just tried to carry out a 9/11 style attack on Israel and it went wrong. Pro-Palestinian activists must be very upset.

Men are told condoms are uncomfortable.
Women are told pregnancy, childbirth, hormones, stitches, recovery and lifelong body changes are just part of life. Interesting definition of inconvenience.

On peut ne pas aimer Netanyahou. On peut le trouver trop long, trop théâtral, trop politique. Mais ce qu’il a fait ce soir à l’ONU, ça s’appelle du cran.
Il est monté à la tribune alors qu’une partie de la salle se levait pour partir. Pas pour débattre. Pour ne pas écouter. Il les a regardés partir et a dit ce que beaucoup pensent tout bas : si la vérité vous dérange à ce point, sortez. Ce n’est pas de la diplomatie. C’est du caractère.
Pendant trois ans, une partie de cette Assemblée a parlé de Gaza comme si le 7 octobre 2023 n’avait jamais existé. Comme si 1 200 civils n’avaient pas été massacrés. Comme si des otages n’avaient pas été emmenés. Comme si le Hamas n’avait pas filmé ses propres crimes. Netanyahou a rappelé l’essentiel : on ne peut pas juger une guerre en oubliant comment elle a commencé.
Il a aussi remis les pendules à l’heure avec la France et le Royaume-Uni. Entendre Paris et Londres accuser le « colonialisme » d’Israéliens qui habitent la terre de leurs ancêtres, alors que ces deux pays ont longtemps tenu des empires sur plusieurs continents, c’est une leçon d’histoire qu’ils n’avaient pas envie d’entendre. Il la leur a servie quand même.
Même chose pour ceux qui viennent donner des leçons de démocratie depuis Damas ou Ankara. Un dirigeant syrien et Erdogan n’ont pas le crédit moral pour faire la morale à Israël sur la liberté, le droit ou la souveraineté. Les rappeler à ce qu’ils sont, ce n’est pas de la provocation. C’est de la cohérence.
On peut détester Bibi. On peut contester sa stratégie, sa durée au pouvoir, sa manière. Mais face à une salle qui refuse de regarder le 7 octobre en face, il n’a pas baissé la voix. Il a parlé. Ça, au moins, ça s’appelle des cojones.
