United Airlines suspends pilot who praised Hamas following surprise attack on Israel The airline has taken strict action once morest the pilot Ibrahim R Mosallam.
Ibrahim Mosallam, the pilot, wrote a note in support of Hamas through a social media post. ‘This is the resistance of a brave people who endured decades of occupation, oppression, humiliation, apartheid and outright murder. “This was not an unprovoked attack, it was a response to last year’s attack by the Zionist regime,” the pilot’s note read. This caused a lot of criticism. The statement that the massacre in Israel, where 1400 people were killed, women raped and babies burned alive, was “the resistance of brave people” is disgusting and how can Jewish passengers feel safe when this pilot flies the plane? That was the criticism.
Following this, United Airlines suspended the pilot. The airline later confirmed that the pilot had been suspended and would not be allowed to fly its planes for the time being. The airline is looking into the matter and his continued employment with the company. Air Canada also took action once morest a pilot following a complaint regarding social media posts critical of Israel.
