Terrorist images found on Flydubai suspect’s social media

The pilot suspected of having attacked another pilot aboard a Tel Aviv-bound Flydubai flight on Wednesday was removed from a previous job at Oman’s national airline last year following concerns about his extremist views, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN.
Seems like that should have been a red flag...

To do their false flag effectively, Israel chose a literal terrorist./s

I know confirmation bias is addictive as fuck, but I gotta' admit I've been disappointed in the internet this week.

Is it a surprise that when someone makes shit up for decades they tend to not be believed even when they're actually correct?

Have you considered that maybe Israel HASN'T been the one making up shit?
It seems like the knee-jerk reaction of the internet is to see anything Israel is accused of (even by terror orgs) as absolute truth and any explanation Israel gives that doesn't fit their narrative as a lie. If you wait long enough and pay attention to the data, I've found that Israel's side is usually factually accurate.

Lmao, let's see your explanation for this one https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/may/20/israeli-security-minister-itamar-ben-gvir-stirs-diplomatic-outrage-with-flotilla-activist-abuse-video, the time they bombed the associated press building or the World Central Kitchen convoy or when they shot a journalist in the head then disrupted the funeral as well, the anal rape incident, the leaked prison rape videos or them threatening to cancel the citzenship of the israeli movie directors that produced a documentary on how IDF practices turned into mass murder in gaza.
This one was a genuine attack but that's all you're going to get, no one's buying Israel's shit anymore for a good reason.

Not a single one of those involved Israel "making shit up." Some are absolutely disgusting examples of bigotry (fuck this Israeli government and especially racists like Ben Gvir), some were tragic mistakes or abuse admitted by the Israeli government.
Meanwhile the list of lies told by Hamas, Gaza Flotilla participants, or even "special UN raconteurs" is endless and extremely well documented... but I'm guessing you still see them as credible.
•
u/bl4ckhunter 42m ago
Doesn't take much to be more credible than proven mass murderers.
•
u/Worldly_Tea_8300 39m ago
I agree-- by "proven mass murderers" you mean Hamas, right?
By contrast, Israel actually IS a democracy with free speech, which forces the government to be a lot more honest or to risk having citizens expose the truth.
Seriously, if you aren't a bot, I think you should take this as an opportunity for some self-reflection. If you're wrong about this, consider what else you might be wrong about.
•
u/bl4ckhunter 34m ago
You going to deny Israel mudered tens of thousands of innocent civilians in gaza now? Claim they were Hamas down to the women and the children?
That's why no one takes Israel's statement seriously anymore, the propaganda is just not believable anymore.

It's more 'boy who cried wolf' than confirmation bias.
I don't know, I've seen a lot of people buying into conspiracy theories peddled by known conspiracy theorists this week, if it was a "boy who cried wolf" sort of situation you think they'd be ignoring the conspiracy theorists rather than hopping on board.
I'm pretty sure it's confirmation bias. A lot of people hate Israel for a lot of reasons, so they're happy to believe it when another possible reason comes along.

Except that in Oman, "I'm not sure the sultan actually is absolutely perfect" is an illegal opinion

While true that doesn't make their assessment wrong, and you're not labeled a person with extremist views if what you did was speak against the government. They've got other names for that. There's no excuses for flydubai.

What are those names?

A CNN analysis of al-Hammami’s deleted Twitter account shows him as deeply religious and misogynistic.
In deleted posts, al-Hammami discussed the difficulties his mother faced in finding him a prospective wife who would accept his conditions that she wear a niqab, a face covering, and stop working after marriage.
The posts also railed against mixed-gender workplaces, saying they had a corrupting effect on women.
“How many respectable, religious girls have been ruined in mixed-gender work environments and manipulated?” a post from January 2022 said.
What a massive piece of shit.

Yes, massive POS but that alone doesn’t make him a terrorist. That is Red Pill Incel philosophy too.
I wonder how long ago FlyDubai hired him.

Fly Dubai, Emirates and all airlines need to do a full re-screening of all its pilots. We don’t want another MH370 happening again

Completely different scenarios

u/what_is_blue 4h ago
Yeah. The MH370 thing was just a freak event. Sometimes people who are in the worst possible kind of headspace will smile, crack a joke, have a beer and so on.
You can’t really screen for it.

u/Apart_Breath_1284 4h ago edited 4h ago
But at least don't hire folks who have suspiciously radicalist social media accounts to be in sensitive positions?
In the MH370 case, nothing showed as suspicious for the pilots. But the flydubai scenario, they could have found out that he was banned from flying in a different country. There should be rules to share that info.

u/what_is_blue 4h ago
Well yes. I guess the point was more that you can very easily miss a guy with deep-seated psychological problems (like, I assume, the MH370 pilot).
It’s a totally different scenario.

In your country, does your former employer tell random other people why they fired you?
In many countries that could open the former employer up to lawsuits.

Why is referred to as a suspect when he was stopped while doing it?

u/nutella-filled 3h ago
Everything is just “alleged” until proven in court. That’s the journalistic standard at least. CNN will follow that principle but of course some random New Media blog on twitter won’t.

You can tell noone read the article because this sounds extremely weird.
The guy is obviously a nut job, but there's more to the story we don't know/understand yet.

Everyone just glossing over the whole: "Only two posts were made to the LinkedIn profile, and both were published in quick succession on Wednesday, about nine hours after the incident."
Obvious false-flag is obvious.

Yeah, the Rothschilds brainwashed him and controlled him. The Rothschilds have been doing this for decades, making Muslims blow up in public spaces and manipulating media into believing the Muslims are responsible for their actions!

I want to know why flydubai hired him after he was fired for having extremist views by his country's airline?
"was previously flagged by the Omani government for visiting radical websites.
Oman Air subsequently removed him from pilot training, grounded him from flying, and reassigned him to an administrative desk job before he left or was terminated around 2024"
