The Media Completely Distorted the Airplane Terror Attack Because of Its Anti-Israel Bias.
By Jennifer Kouzi.
Oct 1, 2026.
A knife-yielding co-pilot stabbed the pilot of a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv carrying 174 passengers, of which 166 were Israelis. The blood-soaked pilot issued distress signals – including signals communicating a hijacking — while approaching the Jordanian border, as the plane dove between 14,000 and 20,000 feet (reports vary) in the span of two minutes. What might news consumers think if they heard this level of detail from their media sources?
Terrorism? Hijacking?
While western media outlets have been notably allergic to ascribe the word “terror” and its derivatives to a person or act, or avoid it totally, there is little explanation, even in the earliest reports, of calling the stabbing of a copilot and the nosedive thereafter a “clash,” “altercation,” “cockpit incident,” “brawl,” or “fight” between the pilots in their headlines. In addition, many outlets omitted the stabbing altogether, leaving the reason for the diverted flight a mystery...

Omani copilot’s social media ‘talks about killing Jews’; Israel will take part in probing him — official.
By Lazar Berman.
1 October 2026, 5:33 pm
The Omani copilot who stabbed the pilot on the flydubai flight yesterday discussed killing Jews on social media, an Israeli official tells The Times of Israel.
The official adds that the attacker asked the Emirati crew members to kill him, citing conversations with passengers on the flight.
“This was a person who was willing to commit suicide,” says the official. “His social media accounts [say] clearly that he has been radicalized into jihadist ideology. He talks about killing Jews.”
“We can’t say for sure until the investigation’s over,” the official continues, “but it certainly seems like he was a suicide actor who was probably going to try to down that plane.”
“Our understanding is he’s going to be transferred to the UAE,” the official continues. “We will be part of that investigation.”
In the meantime, Israel is doing its own internal investigation and making changes to security procedures, says the official.

Two US brothers busted in $1.7M Hamas fundraising scheme — that was exposed with help from the NYPD.
Ny Joe Marino, Kenneth Garger and Ella Morrison, New York Post, October 1, 2026.
Two Louisiana brothers are facing terrorism charges for their alleged role in a twisted scheme to fund Hamas under the guise of Gaza humanitarian aid – and they were brought down with the help of the NYPD.
Abdel Adhami and his sibling Omar Adhami were busted in the Pelican State last month for allegedly raising money online and funneling it to Saleem Alzaq, a member of the terror group who regularly uses social media to post Hamas propaganda, according to newly unsealed federal indictments.
Abdel allegedly funneled more than $83,000 to Hamas from 2023 to 2026 while his brother is accused of sending $6,000.
According to a complaint, Abdel used several different Snapchat accounts to post Hamas propaganda and raise funds for the terrorist group, in addition to referring followers to a Telegram account….

US charges Hamas terrorists, 3 Americans in alleged $1.7 million terror funding scheme.
Prosecutors say purported Gaza aid campaigns collected more than $626,000 from US donors; organizers allegedly concealed the money’s destination and warned supporters not to mention Hamas
ynet|10.02.26
U.S. authorities have charged an alleged Hamas operative in Gaza and three American men in connection with an international fundraising network that prosecutors say collected more than $1.7 million for Hamas while presenting the campaigns as humanitarian aid for Palestinian families.
The Justice Department said Saleem Alzaq, 45, of Gaza, and his associates raised the money through purported charitable campaigns beginning in January 2020. At least $626,000 came from donors based in the United States.

$1.7 million raised in scheme for Hamas, including from U.S. donors, prosecutors say, announcing charges.
By Kierra Frazier, CBS News, October 1, 2026.
Nearly three years after Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel, federal prosecutors allege that more than $1.7 million was funneled to the terrorist group Hamas, including hundreds of thousands of dollars from donors in the United States.
Saleem Alzaq, a 45-year-old Gaza man who prosecutors allege is a longtime Hamas member, was charged with helping operate the fundraising campaign claiming to provide humanitarian aid, according to an indictment unsealed Thursday.
Prosecutors allege Alzaq and his co-conspirators raised funds under the guise of providing food and winter necessities to Palestinians in Gaza between January 2020 and December 2025. The campaigns raised more than $1.7 million, including at least $626,000 from U.S.-based donors, according to the indictment.
Alzaq has been a Hamas member since at least 2017, prosecutors say, and has allegedly posted Hamas propaganda on social media, including posts celebrating the Oct. 7, 2023, attack.
Prosecutors allege Alzaq operated an international fundraising campaign spanning the U.S. and France. Co-conspirators in France allegedly helped collect and transfer money, while two brothers from Louisiana allegedly contributed about $105,000 and a Florida man allegedly provided nearly $50,000 to the terror network….
The indictment also alleges Alzaq advised donors not to reference Hamas to prevent their accounts from being shut down, including instructing followers in October 2024 not to write “Free Palestine” or “long live Hamas” on donations to his PayPal accounts.

Next to an Israeli’: Flydubai Attack Heroes Become Viral Sensation.
By Debbie Weiss.
October 2, 2026.
Two days after passengers and crew thwarted the attempted hijacking and crashing of a flydubai flight, the story was still dominating headlines in Israel and flooding social media with memes, jokes, and tributes to those who helped avert disaster.
Israeli President Isaac Herzog said Thursday he would recommend plumber Yaniv Hayun, Tzvika Manes, and Asaf Rajuan, who helped overpower the alleged attacker, and Shota Musayev, a dentist who treated the wounded captain, for the Presidential Award for Civilian Heroism, an honor established after the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks for civilians who risk their lives to save others. Herzog also praised Manes’s wife, Tali, who first alerted the crew that something was wrong in the cockpit.
“The swift action of the passengers and crew averted a major disaster,” Herzog said.
One of the most widely shared visuals, with 1.6 million views on X, was a mock airline seating chart posted by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s former spokesman David Keyes. Ordinary seats are gray or blue, while a scattering of blue Star-of-David icons are labeled “Special Seat,” under the caption: “New premium seating option lets you sit next to Israelis for extra security.”

Amb. Yechiel Leiter: 'Until we defeat the ideology of killing, we are on life support'

Netanyahu visits Neriyah Leiter at Jerusalem hospital.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited seriously wounded terror attack victim Neriyah Leiter and his family at Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem on Friday morning.
Leiter’s father, Israeli Ambassador to the United States Yechiel Leiter, greeted Netanyahu at the hospital, where his son remains sedated and on a ventilator following a Palestinian car-ramming attack at the Maccabim checkpoint on Route 443 on Sept. 23.
Although Neriyah’s condition has stabilized, he has not yet been declared out of danger, Israel Hayom reported.
His mother, Chani Leiter, told the newspaper earlier this week that her son underwent two brain surgeries after arriving at Shaare Zedek and that doctors had begun reducing his sedation.
“Neriyah is still ventilated. His brain stem is intact,” she said. “The doctors are less worried about his life itself, but they don’t know how he will wake up. They have started reducing the sedation, and we are waiting to see how he responds. Now is a time of great uncertainty.”

The 51-year-old Richland, Wash., resident is scheduled to appear before a federal magistrate judge on Friday morning. He faces up to 20 years in prison.
Ellaboudy allegedly traveled overseas and used his “specialized expertise” to aid the Houthis, who in recent weeks have launched attacks against Saudi Arabia and tried to close off the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a critical maritime chokepoint connecting the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden. The terror group has done so in response to the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which is key to Iranian oil exports.

Israeli filmmakers launch counter-documentary to rebut ‘NAZA’.
The counter-project, titled NAZA: The Real Story, dropped with English subtitles this week in a bid to immediately intercept the global narrative.
By Maariv. October 2, 2026.
Three Israeli creators have released a documentary designed to directly counter and discredit NAZA, the controversial, Venice Film Festival award-winning film that alleges systematic Israeli military misconduct in Gaza.
The counter-project, titled NAZA: The Real Story, dropped this week with English subtitles in an effort to immediately shape the global narrative.
Directed by Lt. Col. Roi Danino, Hagai Gutman, and Ariel Averbuch, the documentary positions itself as an explicit rebuttal of the original film’s anonymous whistleblower claims.
The filmmakers go on the offensive, using declassified IDF recordings, combat footage, and captured intelligence to mount a sharp counter-narrative focusing on the battlefield tactics of Hamas.
The core of NAZA: The Real Story tackles the primary accusations made by NAZA regarding civilian casualties. It centers on three main fronts: the systematic exploitation of civilian areas by terrorists, the severe operational limitations imposed on troops by the presence of hostages, and the immense security risks involved in facilitating humanitarian aid deliveries.
'An offensive film, not a defensive one'
Unlike the original anti-IDF film, which relied heavily on hidden-identity testimonies from junior personnel, this project features open interviews with active intelligence officers and frontline military commanders.
The creators present captured enemy manuals and operational videos to visually document their thesis: that civilian clothing, weapon stockpiles in family homes, and tactical hubs in residential areas are part of a calculated defensive strategy deployed against the IDF.
“This is an offensive film, not a defensive one,” the directors said, making it clear they intend to shift Israel out of the traditional position of the defendant on the world stage.
The urgency behind the project underscores how high the stakes are in the digital arena. Parts of the documentary were filmed under tight operational security and the cover of night on Tel Aviv rooftops. Key personnel involved in compiling the sensitive declassified materials still have their identities withheld for safety reasons.
With the original NAZA film gaining heavy distribution and visibility across Europe and the United States, the creators of this rebuttal are utilizing digital influencers and grassroots international networks to push their footage directly to global policymakers and journalists. For the production team, the ongoing clash is no longer just a debate over military strategy but a definitive, high-stakes war over who dictates the historical record to the international community.

Dearborn Imam Calls Sept. 11 ‘Big Lie’ in Newly Surfaced Video.
By Corey Walker.
An imam in Dearborn, Michigan drew scrutiny after a recently circulated recording showed him denying the legitimacy of the Sept. 11 terror attacks against the US.
Imam Usama Abdulghani, a Shiite Muslim religious leader, told congregants that the Sept. 11 terror attacks, which killed over 3,000 Americans, were fabricated. In the video, which was circulated by MEMRI, He argued that the “goal” of Sept. 11 commemoration events are to degrade “the psyche of the Muslims.”
“You and I, we all know, 9/11 was a big lie,” he said.
“They got people to believe it. They made it up. It was all a big lie,” he continued.
Referencing stories from the Quran, he encouraged attendees to “do research” into the attacks and not believe the official narrative of the devastating terrorist event.
He further repudiated the “shameful” and “granola” responses from Muslim leaders and organizations in the wake of the attacks. He continued, claiming that it “was so sad to see” many members of the American Muslim community “apologize” for the attacks.
“A lot of Muslims lives were altered because of this,” he said in reference to the US War of Terror.
He made the remarks on Sept. 11, 2026 as the country commemorated the 25th anniversary of the terror attacks.
Abdulghani encouraged the congregants, instead of mourning the attacks, to embrace “the supremacy of Islam.”
“The right way of thinking is that Islam is supreme. I’m not going to try and justify Islam. I don’t feel relieved if someone acknowledges me,” he said.
“Islam is supreme,” he said.
Dearborn is home to one of the largest Arab American communities in the US. According to the 2020 Census, 54.5% of the city’s residents reported Middle Eastern or North African ancestry.
In the three years following the Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, Dearborn has emerged as a flashpoint in the broader discourse regarding evolving US opinions on the Jewish state. The city has drawn criticism after holding multiple demonstrations celebrating terrorist groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah. Further, residents of Dearborn have been recorded chanting slogans such as “death to America” and “death to Israel.”
Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud has established himself as an especially outspoken critic of Israel who has repeatedly condemned Israel’s military operations against Hamas, accusing the Jewish state of committing a “genocide” in Gaza and an “ethnic cleansing” in the West Bank. Following Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, invasion of and massacre across southern Israel, a brutal onslaught that started the current Gaza war, Hammoud condemned the Jewish state as a “racist apartheid system that criminalizes Palestinian existence.”
Hammoud is currently facing a federal civil-rights lawsuit accusing his administration of using taxpayer-funded city resources to promote Islam while refusing comparable recognition to Christian and Jewish holidays and retaliating against a journalist who challenged the disparity.
As the profile of the city has continued to rise amid the war in Gaza and political ascendance of several Muslim American political figures, more skeptics are pointing to the city’s longstanding pattern of radicalism.
