1 Townhall:

The media have already done their best to de-Israelize the story. There are claims that the relief pilots rushed the cockpit and saved the day. Israelis, whom I would trust far more on matters of life and death, claim that the dynamic duo was frozen into their seats by what was unfolding. They had to be encouraged/goaded to get up to the front of the plane to do their jobs. One couldn’t handle it while the other landed the plane safely. Jordan and Saudi Arabia denied landing rights, while the plane was running out of fuel. May Israel finally turn off the tap to Jordan and run the country dry. They are terrorists run by a midget king.

Apparently there are additional miracles beyond those I previously recorded on these pages. An Israeli girl going to the bathroom heard screaming from the cockpit and told the other passengers that the pilot was being stabbed. It would appear from lights that appeared in the cabin that the terrorist turned off the engines. This move actually saved the plane. As Yuval the Plumber raised the nose of the airplane, the reduced speed meant that the plane was under less stress and did not break apart. Apparently, the relief pilot turned the engines back on and kept the flight going. Had the engines been on, the plane probably would have ripped itself apart.

2 At first, there was a wild story that the combatant pilots were Russian & Ukrainian.

🚨 BREAKING: An Emirati source reveals that among the belongings of the Omani co-pilot were leaflets and publications from “Free Palestine” groups, as well as pro-Palestinian material.

The pilot had repeatedly expressed support for the Palestinians and hostility toward Israel.

This is consistent with the broader investigation, which is examining the co-pilot’s Islamic radicalisation and possible terrorist motives.
