United Airlines suspends pilot for praising 'brave' Hamas terrorists

A United Airlines pilot, Ibrahim R. Mossallam, was suspended over the shocking response that he posted online about the deadly Hamas attack of 7th October on innocent Israeli citizens. He referred to the terrorists as “brave people” and blamed the media for being “heavily politicised and skewed to show a non-occupying narrative of Palestine.” A group known as ‘StopAntisemitism’ reacted to his comments and dubbed them as “abhorrent” and noted, “Ibrahim R Mossallam is a United Airlines pilot who stated on an October 7th Facebook post the massacre in Israel that left 1400 people dead, women raped, and babies burned alive was resistance by brave people.” “How can Jewish passengers feel safe with this man flying their plane,” they questioned and tagged the official account of the airline.
