The Long History of Antizionist Hijackings

What the media calls a ‘clash’ was really the latest attempted terror attack in a decades-long hate movement.

Listen Anywhere

If the mainstream media had done its job yesterday, headlines about what took place on a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv would have read something like this: Hijack Attempt is Latest in Long String of Antizionist Terror Attacks Thwarted by Heroic Israelis.

Coverage would have made the facts clear: A jihadist copilot attempted an antizionist terror hijacking mid-flight, stabbing the captain. Despite severe injuries, the captain managed to unlock the cockpit door, and Israeli passengers immediately snapped into action.

So used to facing threats, these members of the tiny state for Am Yisrael (The People of Israel, a.k.a. “Jews”) subdued the attacker and saved the lives of everyone onboard, including 27 children. It was the exact brand of decisive bravery that Israeli-American hero Daniel Lewin attempted on 9/11.

Why “antizionist?” As Adam Louis-Klein explains in the latest episode, people need to understand what the hate movement is.

“There’s decades of terrorist attacks and massacres of Israelis by antizionists. It’s not about Palestinians. It’s not about Muslims. It’s not about Arabs, at bottom. It’s really about antizionism itself.”

But of course the media failed to say any of this. Instead, many reported it as a “clash.” See my reply to the New York Times here.

The Missing Context

The reports would also have told you about the long history of hijackings carried out by antizionists aligning with a Palestinian movement, from Marxiststs to Islamists.

Left: Aftermath of hijackings by antizionist terrorists. Right: Some of the hijackers.

As I discussed in Episode 8, All the Queen’s Lies Part II, these terrorists have hijacked many planes over the years, including some that had nothing to do with Israel. Shortly after the October 7 massacres by Gazan antizionist terrorists, a woman shared her story in Newsweek about having been held hostage as a child.

For generations, radicalized youth living under Islamist governments have been taught that hijacking planes is heroic. In 2024, a so-called “poet” and “Palestine correspondent” for far-left publication The Nation complained about the lack of hijackings. Props to Rawan Osman, who grew up surrounded by this ideology but now speaks out against it.

The world is better off today for the selfless resistance of people whom the Antizionist Hate Movement (AZHM) wants to erase.
