One of them is an ‘Indian,’ while the other is from the UAE. Yet see the difference on the same issue.

BRUTAL. Check the tweet he has quoted on.

FACE OF A HERO! ❤️🫡🇮🇳
Courage and heroism have a face now. And that face belongs to Captain Smit Machchhar. 🇮🇳
Despite being seriously injured himself, he found the strength to fight back and help save almost 180 lives in mid-air. What an extraordinary human being!
Even if he were not an Indian, my admiration and applause would have been just as heartfelt. But knowing he is one of our own makes my pride double, triple!🇮🇳❤️🇮🇳
As a nervous flyer, I also keep thinking about the people inside that aircraft. What must they have felt as the plane suddenly plunged thousands of feet? The fear, the helplessness, the uncertainty of those moments are difficult to imagine.🥹🥹
My salute also to the passengers and crew who stepped forward to help, the pilots who brought everyone safely to the ground, and the medical teams caring for Captain Machchhar.🙏
At a time when we hear so much about the worst in people, such courage reminds us of the best we are capable of. Even in terrible danger, a human being can find the strength to protect others.
Captain Smit Machchhar, my salute to you, my friend. Lots and lots of love. May you recover soon and return to a world waiting to give you a hero’s welcome.
You have made us proud. Jai Hind! 🙏🇮🇳

Indian pilot Smit Machchhar is being hailed as a hero after preventing a plane hijacking.

He fought back when his co-pilot stabbed him and tried to crash the plane, buying enough time to save everyone on board. Machchhar survived and is recovering in hospital.

A truly deserved message from the Israeli PM for Indian pilot Smit Machchar.

Indian pilot Smit Machchhar does not need Fauda Season 6.
Fauda Season 6 needs him.

Just 5 infections are responsible for more than 2 million preventable cancer cases each year, accounting for one in eight diagnoses worldwide.

A new study from the World Health Organization’s cancer agency shows that one in eight cancer cases diagnosed globally is caused by preventable or treatable infections.

Published in The Lancet Oncology, the research indicates that roughly 12% of all new cancer cases in 2024, about 2.3 million cases, were directly linked to infectious pathogens. Instead of traditional lifestyle factors such as smoking or sun exposure, these diagnoses stem from common biological agents.

Experts emphasize that a vast majority of these cases could be entirely avoided through existing vaccines, timely screenings, and standard medical treatments.

At the heart of this global health challenge are five primary pathogens responsible for nearly all infection-related cancers. The stomach bacterium Helicobacter pylori leads the list, causing an estimated 760,000 cases of gastric cancer, closely followed by human papillomavirus (HPV) with 750,000 cases.

Hepatitis B and C viruses continue to drive high rates of liver cancer, while Epstein-Barr virus, recently linked to a broader spectrum of stomach cancers and lymphomas, accounts for 260,000 cases.

By expanding access to HPV vaccinations, hepatitis treatments, and antibiotic therapies, public health officials could sharply reduce the global cancer toll.

Demography is Key

[Kamlesh Singh / Tau @kkstau]

Maybe it is because India has been a victim of terrorist attacks, including hijackings and the loss of Indian lives in such incidents

People really don’t want Muslim pilots.

[Laura Loomer @LauraLoomer]

Muslims should be immediately banned from piloting commercial planes.

[Lord Immy Kant @KantInEastt]

How long till we find out that the Omani Pilot was basically of Pakistani origin

[Laura Loomer @LauraLoomer]

What are the odds that the pilot’s first name is Mohammed?

Why won’t they release his name?
