EXCERPT:

The axe-wielding co-pilot, who tried to hijack the Flydubai flight to Tel Aviv last month, planned to crash the plane into Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport in a 9/11-style attack, the authorities in the United Arab Emirates confirm.

The Omani pilot Hamam al-Hammami, has admitted to a “premeditated terrorist plot to … launch a suicide attack targeting the passenger terminal at Ben Gurion airport near Tel Aviv, with the aim of causing the greatest possible loss of life,” the UAE Attorney General Hamad Saif al-Shamsi said on Friday.

In fact, the 29-year-old Islamist was ‘inspired’ to become a pilot by the 9/11 attacks, which claimed the lives of nearly 3,000 Americans.. “He also drew inspiration from the 11 September 2001 attacks, and the idea of carrying out a similar operation using an aircraft became firmly established in his thinking,” the UAE official added. “According to his confession, this was linked to his decision to pursue a career in aviation.”

Al-Hammami was a known jihad sympathizer. He had been barred from flying by authorities in his native Oman “over concerns he had adopted radical ideological views,” The Wall Street Journal revealed last Friday. According to Israel’s i24NEWS, his professional LinkedIn account featured “al-Qaeda-linked terrorist images.”

Reuters reported Friday:

An Omani flydubai co-pilot had intended ‌to seize a Dubai-Tel Aviv flight and crash it into a terminal at Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport on September 30 in a suicide attack before he was thwarted by the captain, the UAE attorney general said on Friday.

Attorney General Hamad Saif al Shamsi’s statement did not ​appear to implicate flydubai in any wrongdoing, and contained the most detailed account yet from prosecutors ​about what they believe to have happened. Flydubai was not immediately available for comment.

The plan was ⁠inspired by the September 11, 2001, attacks on the US, UAE public prosecutors think, as a result of ​their criminal investigation launched on October 1.

It found the suspect had used two previous flights to Tel Aviv ​to “familiarise himself with the flight route and the airport”, the state news agency WAM reported. It is the first public confirmation of the co-pilot’s 9/11 inspiration.

Pro-Palestinian protesters showed their outrage at Democratic New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani after he made an appearance at the Israelis for Peace vigil in Union Square.

The activists screamed at Mamdani that he was a traitor in videos captured by bystanders as the mayor left with his entourage and security.

‘There’s no mutual understanding when you’re killing our children, our family members.’

“You opportunist piece of s**t!” one woman yelled.

Mamdani appears stone-faced and angry halfway through the video.

“Mamdani, you can’t hide! We charge you with genocide!” they chanted in another part of the video.

The Muslim mayor has been accused of having ties to pro-terrorist groups, but the protesters were apparently upset that he didn’t do enough to oppose Israel.

The event was held on Oct. 7, the anniversary of the horrific terrorist attack on southern Israel by Palestinian terrorists. Israel retaliated with a devastating military campaign intended to wipe out the terrorist threat.

Protesters chanted and made as much noise as possible for about an hour in order to interrupt the vigil.

Others yelled, “Allahu Akbar!” in another video from the event. One protester holds up a sign reading, “Bomb ‘Israel’ bye!”

On the third anniversary of the October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, a Jewish former student at The New School filed a federal lawsuit against the university, accusing the school of failing to protect her from antisemitic harassment, physical assaults, vandalism, and exclusion from campus spaces.

The Lawfare Project, a legal organization dedicated to protecting the civil and human rights of Jewish people worldwide, together with co-counsel Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP, filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of Sophie Shabot, a Jewish American and Israeli citizen who attended The New School’s Parsons School of Design.

The filing came on the third anniversary of the October 7 terrorist attack, in which more than 1,200 people were murdered and another 251 abducted.

The complaint describes a series of incidents beginning after the attack in which Shabot says she was subjected to antisemitic harassment on campus.

In December 2023, protesters blocked Shabot from entering the University Center while allowing non-Jewish students through, according to the lawsuit. The complaint says she was shoved out of the building, spat on, and screamed at through a bullhorn.

The lawsuit says another confrontation occurred in March 2024 after protesters vandalized and took over a space reserved for a Hillel event featuring an Israeli speaker and prevented Jewish students from entering.

During the program’s announcement, Mamdani’s wife attended a luxury retreat hosted by a group that called for the abolition of Israel.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s new antisemitism strategy doubles funding for a community grant program whose partners include an anti-Israel organization previously led by Linda Sarsour, while omitting Zionism and declining to adopt a definition of antisemitism.

According to City Hall’s announcement, the strategy includes $6.4 million for Partners Against the Hate, or PATH, doubling the program’s funding from the previous year. However, among PATH’s six core partners is the Arab American Association of New York, which Sarsour led for more than a decade. The organization supported the Columbia University’s violent Gaza encampment and other anti-Israel protests following October 7, according to the New York Post.

The September 29 announcement coincided with his wife’s participation in a luxury Islamic wellness retreat in Portugal organized by Women Sanctuary, which had publicly called for Israel’s abolition.

Sarsour’s relationship with Mamdani extends beyond campaigning for him. She warned that her activist network would hold him to his campaign promises, including dismantling the NYPD’s Strategic Response Group, which responds to major protests and other emergencies. “Electing Zohran doesn’t mean we’re going to let him do whatever the hell he wants when he gets to City Hall,” Sarsour said.

Sarsour has a long history of antisemitic statements, including her assertion: “Israel was built on the idea that Jews are supreme to everybody else.” Sarsour left Women’s March leadership in 2019 amid controversies over antisemitism.

Israel’s defence minister on Tuesday said he had put the military on high alert before the anniversary of Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack, warning Gazans would pay a “heavy price” if forces were harmed.

“If, heaven forbid, our forces are harmed, the ones who will pay the heavy price will be Hamas and the population of Gaza – beyond all proportion,” the statement added.

Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack was the deadliest day in Israel’s history, resulting in the deaths of 1,221 people, according to an AFP tally based on official Israeli figures.

Militants also dragged 251 hostages into Gaza, 44 of them already dead.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has displayed a pager at the UN General Assembly, invoking a deadly 2024 covert sabotage operation targeting Hezbollah in Lebanon that killed dozens and severely wounded thousands, including women and children.

Thousands of pagers carried by Hezbollah members exploded across Lebanon on September 17, 2024, followed by hundreds of weaponized walkie-talkies the next day. The attacks killed dozens and injured up to 4,000 people, including numerous civilian bystanders, healthcare workers and their families. Israel later acknowledged responsibility for the operation.

Speaking at the General Assembly on Thursday, Netanyahu held up a pager, saying: “You remember the beepers? Remember these?” He added: “Hezbollah certainly remembers them.”

Scores of delegates walked out as Netanyahu took the podium, leaving much of the hall empty. The Palestinian mission had urged other delegations to join the protest.

Hurricane Bibi just blew through the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York City and, boy, did he leave a trail of destruction in his wake.

In his Thursday afternoon speech in front of the U.N., Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu let loose with what seemed to be months of pent up frustration over the relentless criticism of Israel, setting his sights on everyone from diplomats who walked out on him to Iran, Qatar, and Turkey – and saving some of his more savage comments for the mayor of the very city from which he spoke.

Bibi has a message for the streams of delegates who headed for the doors before as he began speaking and those protesting out on the streets: you’re phonies and cowards, all of you. “If there are any other moral cowards that haven’t yet left this hall, please do so now, thank you very much,” he declared.

“You’re phony human rights protesters!”

Netanyahu calls out people in the streets outside the U.N. and delegates who walked out, accusing them of a double standard over Iran.

“Where were you?” the Israeli prime minister asks, pointing to Iranians killed and injured by their own government and Christians facing persecution.

“Did you organize mass rallies, hunger strikes? Did you protest outside the Iranian mission to the U.N.? Did you speak out?”

“Look at what is happening in West Bank, where there are violations every day. In the name of what? Hamas has never struck in the West Bank. This every day makes it more impossible to achieve respect for the Palestinian people’s legitimate right to exist.”

The Palestinian Authority, led by Hamas’s rivals, have semi-autonomy in major urban areas of the West Bank, with Israel controlling most of the territory.

Hamas took over Gaza in 2007, two years after Israel pulled out and dismantled settlements.

Netanyahu has poor relations with Macron, who led a push by Western nations at last year’s UN General Assembly to recognise a Palestinian state.

France recently joined Britain in imposing sanctions on products from Israeli settlements in the West Bank, again angering the Israeli government.

Vice President JD Vance said Tuesday that the United States should treat Israel as an important partner without making American policy in the Middle East “subservient” to the Israeli government.

Vance spoke by videoconference with All-In Podcast co-host Jason Calacanis at the All-In Summit in Los Angeles. The exchange covered the U.S.-Israel relationship, President Donald Trump’s dealings with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and criticism from some on the American right that Washington has been too closely aligned with Jerusalem.

“Obviously Israel has been an important partner when it comes to military technology, when it comes to intelligence sharing, but also sometimes the United States doesn’t always agree with Israel,” Vance said. He further stated that all alliances should be rooted in American interests. “Rooting this relationship, like all relationships, in America’s interest is the way to actually have a rational conversation here.”

Vance said Trump has been more willing than other recent presidents to differ with Netanyahu when the two countries’ priorities diverge. “I think that more than frankly any president in the last 40 years, he has shown a willingness to actually part ways with Bibi Netanyahu when he feels like the interests of the American people are different from the interests of the government of Israel,” the vice president continued.

Ahead of the Israeli national elections, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is being accused of knowing about October 7 in advance. The accusation comes from former Israel Defense Forces (IDF) chief of staff Dan Halutz. He accused the Prime Minister of ignoring and concealing warning signs that led to the “successful” assault by Hamas terrorists.

Netanyahu accused Halutz of lying. Halutz doubled down, claiming he was involved with numerous conversations that validate this claim, and that from those conversations he was convinced Netanyahu knew more than he said he did.

Dan Halutz has laid ultimate responsibility for the deadly security failure on the Israeli prime minister

Former Israel Defense Forces (IDF) chief of staff Dan Halutz has accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of concealing warnings ahead of the October 7 attack and laid ultimate responsibility for the deadly security failure on him.

Halutz was responding to a Haaretz report alleging that UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed had warned Netanyahu about a major operation being planned by Hamas ten days before the incursion. Netanyahu reportedly downplayed the threat and did not alert Israel’s security chiefs.

Netanyahu’s office called the report an “absolute lie,” while the UAE neither confirmed nor denied the allegation.

In an interview aired by Israeli radio station 103FM on Sunday, Halutz said he believed the reported conversation had indeed occurred and claimed there were multiple indications that Netanyahu knew more than he disclosed.

“What could be simpler for the Emirati prince than to say there was no conversation if there was no conversation?… There are so many supporting reasons to understand that the man knew far more than he told those responsible for solving the problems afterward. Because he was incapable of solving the problems. He knew and concealed it,” Halutz said.

“I don’t know how to get inside the mind of this psychopath. What goes through his head? Only he knows,” he added when asked why Netanyahu had allegedly failed to act.

Congressman warns the bill could violate free speech

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill Thursday to withhold federal aid from colleges and universities that boycott Israel.

The Protect Economic and Academic Freedom Act of 2026 states that federally-funded institutions “will not engage in a nonexpressive commercial boycott of a major strategic partner of the United States.”

In addition, students cannot be “unreasonably obstructed from participating in academic programs in Israel,” the bill states.

The Republican-controlled chamber approved the measure by a 237–169 vote, with 33 Democrats supporting it and two Republicans opposing it, according to Inside Higher Ed. 

The legislation will now head to the U.S. Senate.

Congressman Josh Gottheimer, who sponsored the bill, said, “No student, no professor should be shut out of research, study abroad opportunities, or academic partnerships, or feel unwelcome in the classroom because of where they’re from or what religion they practice.”

Gadi Eisenkot, the main challenger to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accused the sitting premier of looking merely after his own political survival and not the country’s security, at a rally in central Israel on Monday.

Unveiling the candidates of the Yashar party for the October 27 election, the former military commander said nothing about how he would handle the Palestinian question or the wars against Iran and Lebanon launched by Netanyahu, but accused him of ducking responsibility in the nearly three years since the massive Hamas attack.

A relative newcomer to politics, his party Yashar (Hebrew for “Upright”), founded a year ago, has surged in the polls in recent months, with many voters seeing him as a viable candidate to replace Netanyahu, thanks to his military background.

At Monday’s rally in a hall in the central Israeli city of Rosh Haayin, Eisenkot vowed to put an end to the divisions that have plagued the country since October 7, 2023 over Netanyahu’s conduct of the war in Gaza, where dozens of Israeli hostages were held, and on other fronts.

“In the face of the great rift that opened on October 7, and in the face of the immense challenges before the State of Israel, I believe we need a leadership that knows how to rise to the magnitude of the hour, that knows how to unite and bring unity around what we share, and to fundamentally restore the principles of stateliness and Zionism,” Eisenkot said.

Eisenkot also touched on other hot-button issue in the upcoming election, such as the exemptions and benefits granted to ultra-Orthodox Jewish men.
