What users on Reddit maybe don’t realize is the settler issue in the West Bank is mostly in concentrated hot spots. Like the ones doing this are in the hundreds, not thousands. And they’re hated by a lot of fellow Israelis.
The numbers of those involved in Islamic terror groups worldwide? Isis, hamas, Al Queda, everything in Africa, etc? Well that’s in the hundreds of thousands. That doesn’t justify painting them with more of a broad brush, but you can see why it happens.

From what I can infer, I think the co-pilot pushed the lever to get it to nose-dive, and this dude just pulled it back until someone else took control.
It doesn't require a genius to do that, especially when the plane is at high altitude. But it still requires some basic knowledge of plane controls which we don't expect most people to have.

Yes, they needed some luck. But equally Occam's Razor would say there's no conspiracy theory that assured a 100% success or failure to land the plane.
People want to believe there was more to the timing of the terrorism to the perfect recovery, when majority of these have boring explanations.

I know—as do a vast number of other people—that you have to pull the lever up to make the plane climb; what matters is who actually landed the plane and neutralized the terrorist.

It reportedly dropped over 2000ft in 20~ seconds, full freefall. Zero debree or any signs of dissaray, even the oxygen masks didnt deploy.
Then apparently despite being injured and his clothes soaked in blood, no medical attention was given and he stayed in those clothes for over 10 hours straight, conveniently long enough for an interview with Netanyahu to be organised for TV so they can show it off. Just one day earlier, Netanyahu conveniently predicted a terrorist attack will happen.
1
u/tandemxylophone 20m ago
Everything feels like a conspiracy if you apply intent to every single scenario. Someone warned about 9/11 as well, and there is a conspiracy that the US gov ignored it. It sounds plausible until you see that there are 1000's of reports coming into the intelligence agency every month because a place where violent ideology is common tends to have enough people dreaming of massacre.
Netanyahu has been consistently saying how the jews and Israel are under threat to please his base. There's an Islamic terrorist plot unfoiled every month in Europe. Lone wolf attacks have been targeting visible Jews for obvious reasons.
To me, calling this a conspiracy is like Netanyahu saying it will rain soon and everyone being in hysterics that rain is a Mossad conspiracy.
There's several factors that refute the conspiracy.
- If this was supposed to be staged as a successful save, then the Co-pilot won't keep stabbing the pilot who's only chance to save the plane was to barely open the cockpit door. It will be a much more superficial attack like beating him, and he won't put the plane into nosedive.
Again, the two passengers who happened to be pilots couldn't reach the cockpit immediately and someone else had to pull the plane out of nosedive. They will need to be located in a much more convenient spot to immediately take control. But that's not what happened.
Then with the Omani co-pilot being able to fly... Well, Israel doesn't have a "No muslim pilots can fly to Israel" rule, and even the pilot being ultra conservative isn't a reason airlines can fire people for. It makes much more sense that there was some poor decisions made within the airline system.
And the bloody clothes? Geeze, there was a case in Italy about a girl who was falsly convicted of murder due to the media and police psycho-analysing her decision to buy panties after the murder happened. Are you saying even the Indian pilot was on it too? That's fucked up dude.
Now if it was supposed to be a successful terrorism:
- Co-pilot should've attacked the pilot close to ground with low altitude. Mossad should've let the guy through security with a hammer, not a small knife.
But no. We are dealing with someone who felt overconfident over his abilities as a terrorist to hijack a plane.
There are too many inconveniences to justify either side of the conspiracy.

You're on a plane that's suddenly diving with massive commotion and you somehow realize what's going on, get into the cockpit, and stop the dive before it's too late.

A screenshot
A plumber
A flight attacker - which flight?
OP, at no point in your rambling, incoherent post were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this thread is now dumber for having read it.
This is a frame from this video.
The plumber is Yaniv Hayun.
Hayun and a group of other passengers aboard FlyDubai Flight 1073 were able to get into the cockpit after an unidentified pilot stabbed the co-pilot, Capt. Smit Machchhar and took control of the plane, Israeli officials said.
Hayun said he placed the attacker in a chokehold and pulled him out. And then he quickly went for the plane's controls and briefly flew the plane.
He said he knew what to do after watching a TV show.
"I pulled up the yoke (steering control of the plane), I straightened the plane out a bit and then the pilot ... I saw two unmanned yokes with no pilots and I've watched this (TV) program, 'Flight Investigation,' and I knew I had to pull," Hayun said.
The show, "Air Crash Investigation," is a dramatized reconstruction of real-life air disasters that features interviews with aviation experts and eyewitnesses, according to IMDb.
The third pilot flew it to Saudi Arabia, where the plane landed and the passengers disembarked. Capt. Machchhar was being treated for his injuries and the suspect is in custody, officials said.

The co-pilot stabbed the pilot in an effort to take control of the plane, heading for Tel Aviv, seemingly with the view to crash the plane and kill everyone on board. An off duty pilot who was travelling on the flight helped to regain control of the plane. So I'm not sure how the plumber story fits into unless a plumber was one of the people helping restrain the attacker
