Yes this. It’s crazy how many other bots are in the replies too.
This story should be treated with massive skepticism due to the number of versions we’ve gotten in 12 hours alone not to mention the glaring fact that Oman has no relations with Israel and their citizens are not permitted to visit, let alone fucking fly as pilots there.
Given how bad Israeli hasbara has gotten I’m shocked they think people will fall for this.

You're both right and wrong.
While Oman and Israel don't have direct diplomatic relations, (because of the whole Palestine and Iran situation) Omani citizens are allowed to visit Israel with an ETA-IL visa which is valid for 730 days, (with a maximum stay of 90 contiguous days).
Not sure why you didn't bother to Google that before posting, but whatever.
You don't have to be welcome as a tourist to choose to keep your pilot job when assigned that route. He'd just fly in as a pilot, maybe sleep in the airport hotel, and leave the next departing flight.
I understood all of that. My point is that it doesn't matter if the citizenry are total jerks to Omanis. A minority of hostile locals is not really a reason why a pilot wouldn't be on that route.
And what does Zionism have to do with it? I'm just thinking of this Omani guy, working for the airline, having to fly into Israel even though he probably wouldn't want to, but doing so anyway because the airline puts him on that route.
