Flight 666
By Jim Fletcher
You can’t not write about it, right?
Earlier today, an Omani commercial pilot attempted to crash a planeload of Israelis on their way from Dubai to Tel Aviv.
The pilot, who survived after being subdued by four passengers, is alive and will be “questioned” about who financed him, etc. In the cockpit, he repeatedly stabbed the lead pilot, but when passengers heard a scuffle, they stormed the cockpit, opened the door and foiled a jihadist plot to murder 174 passengers.
By the way, this was almost a logical outcome of the “Abraham Accords” efforts to “normalize” Arab-Israeli relations. Unless Jewish passengers are on an El Al flight (Israeli national airliner), they are not safe. This horrific incident proves that.
An additional flight crew onboard was able to fly the plane safely to Saudi Arabia.
The shaken passengers spent six hours in Saudi Arabia, and then an alternate crew, approved by the Mossad, flew them home.
A subsequent incident proves just how chilling and dangerous Israel’s neighbors are. Israel wanted to bring an El Al plane and crew into Saudi Arabia in order to get their people home but…the Saudis refused! They had a “reason”:
“A source close to the Saudi royal family told The Jerusalem Post that ‘Israel needs to understand that normalization cannot be forced.’”
Wow. Folks, if you needed it before, you no longer need proof that Israel’s neighbors are her enemies and will remain so until Messiah comes. I mean it.
Meanwhile, the terrific analyst Barry Shaw outlined on Facebook a history of Arab (I rarely use the fake term “Palestinian” anymore) airline hijackings. Scores of murderous plots unleashed by human monsters, who are themselves controlled by spiritual monsters. Read it and understand that Arab hatred of Jews extends back through millennia. While Israel must remain vigilant, understand there is no human model, from Oslo to the Abraham Accords, that will cause Ishmael’s descendants to stand down.
Those of us of a certain age do remember the hijackings of the 70s. They mostly occurred between 1968 and 1996. And who can forget other attempts at murdering Jews? The takeover of the passenger ship Achille Lauro in 1985 resulted in the gruesome, very public murder of wheelchair-bound Jewish passenger Leon Klinghoffer. He was pushed overboard. After that, I never understood how American diplomats and presidents could host a weasel like Yasser Arafat. Those PLO thugs are not capable of genuine emotion and human reactions. They are simply satanic.
Israelis, frankly, are made of different stock. If a group of them had not rushed the cockpit—after the plane plunged thousands of feet—all those passengers would be dead right now. Officials don’t know at the moment what the exact motive of this killer from Oman.
His handlers now will get the information from him. For the rest of us, overall, we have all the info we need to know that Israel must remain suspicious of anyone and everyone.
One day she will end up completely alone.
