Episode 510, The Andrew Parker Show - Israel, Iran and the Fight for the Future of the Middle East

Uh, and, uh, just today, within the last 24 hours, a co-pilot on a Flydubai flight, uh, from Dubai to Tel Aviv, uh, a co-pilot stabbed, uh, numerous times, as I understand it.

The pilot of this plane, uh, took control for a short time and started to drive the plane into the ground as it dropped, uh, 20,000 feet in a very, very short period of time.

And, uh, uh, thank God that several of the passengers got through the cockpit door, which apparently was opened by the badly injured pilot prior to him collapsing.

And several of the passengers took control of the plane from the co-pilot, uh, the would-be hijacker, and steadied the plane.

As it turns out, there were, uh, a couple of Emirati pilots on the plane who knew how to fly it.

I saw an interview with one of the lead passengers who got into the cockpit and subdued the hijacker, uh, that he grabbed the yoke, the steering as it were, the yoke of, uh, the aircraft and pulled back on it, steadying it as it was hurtling, uh, through the air into, you know, toward the ground.

Um, so it averted literally hundreds of, uh, deaths, certain, uh, deaths.

There were well over 150 passengers, including a count of about 30 children, uh, most of all of them Israelis.

Uh, again, just like we recall from back in the 1970s with hijacking after hijacking, uh, the killing and murder of both Americans and Jews as well as many others, uh, time and time again.

And of course the West, over the last many decades, have, uh, repeatedly failed to win this war, a war against radical Islam, have repeatedly attempted to placate this evil, and it has never worked and it will not work as it is a tyrannical, apocalyptic, uh, religious bastardization of Islam by these, uh, radical Islamic terrorists, Islamists.

And it cannot be rewarded.

It is a war, and it is a war that must be won, and we have not unfortunately fought it that way except in exceptional cases.

And one such case is the war in Gaza that is not yet over.

No, it has not yet been, uh, won.

Uh, but-- And the same with, uh, Iran, same with Iran's proxy, Hezbollah, in Lebanon.

If those wars can be fought, uh, to destroy and cut off the head of the hydra, both in Iran but also in terms of those remaining in Gaza [clears throat] who are continuing to refuse to demilitarize, to refuse to hand over, uh, their weapons, in which case rebuilding can begin and a civilized tribunal or a government entity can be created.

Until that happens, there's not going to be peace there because the Israelis are not going to outsource the defense of their country.

They are not going to outsource the protection of the Jewish people in Israel.

That has never worked in dating back thousands of years.

Any sort of outsourcing protection of the Jewish people has just not worked, and we saw it, obviously, most recently during World War II.

So the protection needs to come from the Jews themselves with supporters and allies who recognize and see the difference between the tyrannical regimes, for example, of Iran, the largest state sponsor of terror in the world, and the liberal country of Israel, the state of Israel.

If you want to get into why I call it a liberal country, I'm happy to discuss that, but I think it goes without saying.

So a miraculous, truly miraculous event today in saving from a total catastrophe this aircraft from being hijacked and either flown into a building in Tel Aviv or flown into the ground much like Flight 93 in Pennsylvania on 9-11.

No injuries.

Just amazing.
