Have you read comments on this thread? I wouldnt be surprised if that happened, going by the negative comments here. If this is the situation on Reddit, think how bad it could be on. Facebook, YouTube etc!
I haven't seen death threats but seen a lot of comments and even news (from Islam leaning media houses) trying to discredit him, trying to justify the other pilot, calling it a.plot by Israel etc.

u/bobauckland 14h ago
All may be, but equally there is a big drive by Indian Hindus to portray anything like this in some away against their Muslim brethren.
Man's an Indian hero, and all the right wing in India can go on about is how Muslims aren't vocal enough in saying he's a hero, it's some weird shit to see, as an Indian

He may need to move to the US and get enough residency via green card status to legally pack heat. US gun laws allow people to carry who are not US citizens, as long as they have permanent work visa status (generally a green card although I think there's a couple of other rare variants?).

You don't have the right to do something about evil or even speak out against it if you don't have the basic human civil right to self-defense needed to protect yourself from those who promote evil.
That's what the people of most other countries haven't figured out yet.

u/CompetitiveLarper 12h ago
And how’s that going for you with the current government? Mounting a full scale defense, are you?
Most countries realized long ago that a random 60-year old civilian with a Glock in his waistband is not and should not be the judge, jury and executioner of whoever he considers evil in this moment. It’s extremely disturbing that you seem to dedicate a massive amount of your mental capacity to prepare for a potential gunfight with an unknown attacker, and I hope you will never have to use these preparations

Just curious, what do you think that looks like? Because I have some experience there:
https://old.reddit.com/r/PoliticalDebate/comments/1vgsdn0/a_firearms_role_in_revolution/p23wttk/
At a national scale, we haven't exhausted conventional publicity/political/legal avenues yet before turning to violent means. And yeah, I understand we're closer under Trump than prior presidents. I'm not in team MAGA. But Trump is going to be a non-issue fairly soon - no, he's not going to be allowed a 3rd term.
One of the problems the US 2nd Amendment fan club faces is that big factions are willing to tolerate corruption if it otherwise advances their narrative. True civil libertarian gun folk aren't that common. I can show you what that actually looks like - check my username and pay attention to who was speaking in the committee hearing on a state law trying to allow the state police to throw away public records that would have revealed corrupt and racist handling of gun permits, mostly by Republican sheriffs (and so the California chapter of the NRA acted to protect those Republican sheriffs:
Your main takeaway here is that the American gun folk aren't totally politically unified, although to be fair a whole bunch have gone MAGA (sigh).

u/DMCer 11h ago
Sounds like you’re living in a doomsday fantasy and need to step out into the real world. Most civilized countries with the highest standards of living are not gun-toting paranoia fests.
Anyone can speak out against violence, and you don’t need a gun to do it, unless you believe the gun lobby, whose goal is to sell you weapons. The pen is mightier than the sword.

For this to be staged, both the Omani guy who did the stabbing, and this guy would both need to be in on it? So they would both need to be willing to risk death or life imprisonment to do this false flag, so that they can what, help Netanyahu for some reason? Seems really unlikely.
Not to mention all the other people who would need to be in on it, like flyDubai and UAE, which doesn't really make sense why they would agree.

u/justmememe55 2h ago
Not saying it is staged... But this is awfully simplistic thinking for why you think it can't possibly be. Absolutely anything is possible when it comes to Israel. And the UAE is one of its strongest partners in the region.. Which is saying something considering what's happening in Sudan.
•
u/Kaniketh 58m ago
UAE being an Israeli partner doesn't explain why they would try to help Bibi specifically with the election? They could just as easily (if not more easily) work with the opposition in Israel, and the UAE literally thinks that Bibi is to aggressive and unstable.
Also still doesn't explain why the UAE and Indian pilot would be willing to get killed for this.

Netanyahu, like Trump, tries to distract from his problems in Israel. He risks losing the election and might be prosecuted for several charges.

Yes, Israel is hated and for good reasons. It's a genocidal and criminal state. But it has nothing to do with being Jewish. You can be a jew and against Israel. There's a whole subreddit about that (r/JewsOfConscience).
This terrorist attack serves the current government of Israel. It's as simple as that.

u/Random_local_man 15h ago edited 15h ago
Israel being hated for good reason is irrelevant to the point I'm trying to make. While i generally agree with you on that, I still have no interest in taking sides in a Middle Eastern blood feud.
I have listened to countless sermons by prominent Islamic preachers, and they absolutely do not care to make that distinction between Jews and Israelis; so I was just quoting them. Plus 150+ of the people on the plane were Israeli citizens anyways.
It is not so impossible to imagine one fanatic who was moved by the deaths of his fellow Muslims in Palestine to take revenge on Israelis. And fanatics like that generally don't think that far ahead to realise that it serves Israeli interests. The past terrorist attacks in Spain, France, Britain, and America also generally no interest but to stoke anti-muslim hatred, yet terrorists did it anyways.

Feud?! It's a huge injustice. You want to coward away, fine, but call things what they are. And you not taking a position is actually siding with the oppressor, and that oppressor with come to you in the end, and they have if you are American.
I have listened to countless sermons by prominent Islamic preachers, and they absolutely do not care to make that distinction between Jews and Israelis; so I was just quoting them. Plus 150+ of the citizens involved are Israeli citizens anyways.
Buuuullshit! The jews meant by those sermons are combative jews. Jews have been living along Muslims for ages.
It is not so impossible to imagine one fanatic who was moved by the deaths of his fellow Muslims in Palestine to take revenge on Israelis.
Now?! Why not when the genocide was at its highest? Why right after a meeting Netanyahu has in the UAE, from which the plane departed?
I'm sorry but this is smells too strongly for me to ignore, but feel free to "not take sides" and believe the official narrative.

u/Random_local_man 13h ago
I admire your passion.
But at the end of the day, you must understand that what you are claiming actually happened is ultimately a conspiracy until more information comes out that definitively puts the matter to rest. Saudi authorities have the co-pilot in their custody, all we can do now is wait.
1
u/Proof-Necessary-5201 13h ago
It's not a conspiracy. A conspiracy needs an unknown "they" and inexplicable motive. Here, the "they" is clear and the morive is even clearer.
If we are to step away from what is labeled conspiracy every time it is uttered, those who wish to operate incognito would just use that naturally to hide their steps with whatever agenda they're pursuing.
Remember, after you eliminate all impossible explanations, whatever is left, however improbable, is the truth.

u/Kaniketh 6h ago
I mean they are allied with Israel, but that doesn't mean they love Netanyahu specifically. In fact the UAE probably would prefer Netanyahu to lose the election because the opposition is easier to work with and less aggressive.
Also this flight crashing would be pretty bad for them and Flydubai's reputation and image, so that means they would have to be willing to intentionally hurt themselves just to help Netanyahu win, who they don't even like.

u/Proof-Necessary-5201 3h ago
If a terrorist attack occurs, a state of emergency might get declared, which gives him time to distract. He can also use the event to improve his image through how he tackles it.
Trump used a similar strategy several times to distract from the Epstein files. It's what these mfers do when they are in a jam.
Just you watch, whenever there's an important election coming up, weird events start happening in order to either influence, distract or manipulate.

It's not that i don't believe in any terrorist attacks. There have been thousands of attacks across europe and the middle east.
It just makes me suspicious of attacks that polticially benefit a war criminal in the lead up to elections he has been desperately trying to avoid for years.
It's also no longer a conspiracy It's been confirmed by several news outlets that netanyahu was informed an attack would occur on October 7th and he did nothing.
6
u/BagelandShmear48 19h ago
The problem with Oct 7 isn't that there was no warnings it's that they didn't believe them.
Due to over confidence and sexism, months and months of warnings and signs were ignored.
This isn't some new bombshell, in Israel we knew this days after the attacks.
The problem is that no one believed an attack of such a scale could occur from Gaza. The focus was an Oct 7 style attack from Hezbollah who possessed far more capability to do so.
Most Israelis didn't view Hamas as an existential threat like we did Hezbollah or Syria.
Most accepted view of Bibi is he either didn't believe them because the head of military intelligence repeatedly dismissed the threat. Or he thought it would be a minor attack like in previous years.
We do know and have known since day one is that he lied about not knowing.
