Israelis: the archetype of anti-terrorists.

"Israeli genocide"? Accusing Israel of genocide is "popular", not factual.

Sanity is called for here, not hatred, not legs running to join the evil crowd of Jew-haters who really committed the crime of genocide on 10/7/23: denying that is genocide denial.

I hope the Government and Gulf media start mentioning that he was mentally unstable because of a huge loan or some breakup, etc. We must avoid treating this incident as terrorism. For once, we should copy the Western Media thing.
Better. 'A pilot was stabbed'... no other details, whether it was a co-pilot or a passenger or from which nation.

a knife stabbed someone.

it's how we are used to read headlines about terrorism in europe.

the subject of the sentence is always "knife attack" or "car ramming attack" like if the knife was flying under supernatural powers or the car was selfdriven by evil AI.
 

Flydubai recovery plane at Tabuk airport to pick up stranded passengers
​

BBC

A Flydubai plane sent to recover the passengers stranded at Tabuk airport after a reported stabbing on a previous flight has landed.

The earlier Dubai to Tel Aviv flight (FZ1073) was diverted to Tabuk airport, in Saudi Arabia, after an emergency signal - and later a hijacking warning - was broadcast.

Flydubai reports that its recovery plane (FZ8455) landed in Tabuk at 12:43 BST (14:43 local time).
 

Several daily flights between Dubai and Tel Aviv operated by Flydubai​


The diverted Israel-bound Flydubai airplane is one of the airline's 10 daily flight flights from Dubai to Tel Aviv.

The airline's first flights depart Dubai at 05:15 local time (02:00 BST), with the last one setting off at 19:15.

Ten flights also depart from Tel Aviv headed to Dubai each day, with the last one leaving Israel at 22:50 local time (20:50 BST).

The majority of direct flights on this route are chartered by Flydubai and scheduled to take three hours and 25 minutes. Other airlines, such as Arkia and Israir, also have flights on the route but they are not as frequent.
 

Netanyahu says pilot was attempting to sabotage the plane
​

BBC

Here is more from the Israeli prime minister's statement:

During the flight, as they were approaching Israel, one of the pilots stabbed the other pilot and, apparently, tried to crash the plane with its passengers on board.

I spoke with one of the Israeli passengers. He told me that the plane went into a spin and began to descend. He told me that, somehow, he managed to break into the cockpit with one of the crew members and, together, they overpowered the pilot who had carried out the stabbing while he was attempting to sabotage the aircraft's systems.

Another air crew who was on the plane entered the cockpit and managed to stabilise the aircraft.

I salute these heroes who demonstrated extraordinary resourcefulness and courage. They saved many lives and prevented a major disaster.

The plane landed safely at Tabuk Airport in Saudi Arabia. All the passengers are now out of danger.

The pilot who carried out the stabbing was arrested and is currently being questioned by the Saudi authorities.
 
First the UK incident and now this ? Netanyahu was claiming possible terrorist attacks last week. How does he get such information ?
