Even now, almost an hour after you have released the story The New York Times still can’t figure out the motive for the apparent “tiff” between two pilots. Here is their take from 7:44 AM.

Live Updates: Flight to Israel Is Diverted After Pilots Clash in Cockpit

So who landed the plane?

More likely, the hijacker was subdued by Israeli air marshals.

Anything to detract from the exceptional courage of the Israeli public, something seen every day in Israel when citizens react to terrorism in their midst.

Face it loser: modern Israelis are far more courageous and civic minded than you!

Debut novel, oh boy!😂

What is remarkable is the response of everyday Israeli citizens who acted quickly and decisively - maybe there’s something to the phrase “Am Hanivchar” such bravery coming from the chosen people
