Fly the (Hamas) Flag!

My old comrade Ezra Levant has a great nose for these kinds of stories, but even by his standards this one's a doozy. Meet Air Canada pilot Mostafa Ezzo:

Mostafa Ezzo is a pilot with Air Canada, flying their 787s.

That's the plane Air Canada flies to Tel Aviv.

They should probably keep him off of that route.

Just to be safe.

...

The suddenly sheepish Mr Ezzo has taken his social media offline, including the Instagram post where he says "F**k you, Israel. Burn in hell."

In its way, this is the perfect summation of the post-9/11 world:

You have to get to the airport hours in advance, shuffle through "security", semi-disrobe, have your medicines and toiletries examined, unpack all your electronic devices ...so you can be delivered onto a 'plane flown by a Hamas supporter.

The whole rigmarole of post-9/11 security theatre is endured by the citizenry because they assume that, if they're doing this to gran'ma, imagine what the background checks for the toilet cleaners and gate operators must be like.

Oh, and Mr Ezzo is also a flight instructor - which is where we came in, just twenty-two years ago, with a bunch of young Saudis telling their own instructor in Florida to skip the bit about how to land the jet as they didn't need to know that...

NSW Police arrest a Sydney man for waving an Israel flag near a pro-Palestine rally and charge him with breach of the peace. Extraordinarily unfair censorship considering hundreds of Israeli civilians were just murdered in a brutal terror attack. He can’t protest?

Positively demonic, nothing less.

I don’t think I’d get in an airplane being piloted by somebody named Mostafa.

The American mindset and policy must be adjusted to combat this barbarism. Right after 9/11 American leaders, especially President George Bush, took pains in repeated, bizarre speeches that Islam was the “religion of peace”. They refused to accept some unpalatable truths that motivated the terrorism. Instead over 6,000 young ,patriotic Americans were killed, tens of thousands more were physically and psychologically maimed, and trillions were squandered on futile “nation building”.The images of massed Iraqis standing in support of Hamas and jubuliant Taliban tells the story. Now Americans are bracing for Hamas supporters and sympathizers ( more numerous within the US than before 9/11) to unleash their mayhem and killing. Americans are reduced to consoling themselves by making contributions to organizations like the Tunnels and Towers foundation.

I would hope that pilot is out of work before the sun goes down.

“What is with this insane hatred of Jews?!”

For the most part, envy.

Is Allah the Best of Deceivers?
According to the Qur’an, Allah is the “best of deceivers” (3:54; 8:30). The phrase is often translated into English as “best of planners,” “best of schemers,” or “best of plotters,” but the root word (makr) means “deception.” Hence, the following Qur’an verses should be rendered as follows:

Qur’an 3:54—And they (the unbelievers) planned to deceive, and Allah planned to deceive (the unbelievers), and Allah is the best of deceivers.

Qur’an 7:99—Are they then safe from Allah’s deception? No one feels safe from Allah’s deception except those that shall perish.

Qur’an 8:30—And (remember) when the unbelievers plotted deception against you (O Muhammad), to imprison you, or kill you, or expel you. They plotted deception, but Allah also plotted deception; and Allah is the best of deceivers.

Since the Bible declares that Satan is the father of lies (John 8:44), the question must be raised: Do Christians and Muslims worship the same God?

He misspelled terrorist. It is a wonder that he can land a plane.

He has been grounded and is on the “No-fly” list, but he is still “on staff.”

No, they don’t like other people talking about it, but they do like talking about cutting off heads (when/if they are not actually doing it.)
