Israel Air Force fighter jests were scrambled to a Russian passenger plane as it was nearing Israel, this after the plane’s pilots reported of suspicious behavior on the part of a number of passengers on board.

The plane was eventually cleared for landing at Ben Gurion Airport after a security check.

Interesting. A dry-run, perhaps?

Never complain about “suspicious passengers” if you’re the pilot—and might get shot down!

I’m stunned that a Russian pilot would report such a thing to Israeli authorities.Must have been Jewish.

(...wondering if they even allow Jews to be pilots in Putin’s Russia....)

“Great way to detonate a nuclear device over a city...”

They, our collective enemies of the unholy alliance of Islam, Russia, China, Iran, Syria, North Korea, Venezuala, Pakistan and Cuba will eventually succeed in a nuclear terrorist incident against Israel and the USA. How we should deal with this threat should be harshly and now by starting with Iran, the likely tool used for the proxy nuclear attack. When it should be dealt with is now but obviously it isn’t going to be. So what next? We had better be prepared to hold the puppetmasters Russia and China accountable for such an event such as telling them directly now that such an event will mean immediate vaporizing of four Russian (if Iran is the proxy tool) or four Chinese cities (if North Korea is the proxy tool).

Considering they allow Jews in such positions as Prime Minister and the Mayor of Moscow, I am pretty sure such a position of pilot would be attainable.

"Russia and China accountable for such an event such as telling them directly now that such an event will mean immediate vaporizing of four Russian (if Iran is the proxy tool) or four Chinese cities (if North Korea is the proxy tool)."

So what four or more American cities are you then proposing that we trade in vapor? DC, NYC? What else? Philly? That is if they only vaporize 4 or so American cities in return?

Ha! You’re trying to use reason against emotion. What do facts have to do with anything?
