A United Airlines pilot was suspended over disturbing comments he posted online about the October 7 Hamas attacksuman. In the post, Ibrahim R Mossallam called the Hamas terrorists “brave people”.
Mossallam also said that “mass media is heavily politicized and skewed to show a non-occupying narrative of Palestine,” and added that the October 7 attack, where some claimed babies were burned alive, were not “unprovoked.” Mossallam went on to tell people to “expand their media literacy,” and urged them to do their “due diligence” while judging what Hamas did.
