A fly Dubai flight from Dubai to Israel was forced to make an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday after a violent attempt by the co-pilot to seize control of the aircraft and crash it, passengers and Israeli officials have said.

The narrative evolved into this as soon as Netanyahu and the Israelis got involved with the investigation.

You know, that is suspicious, of course, because Netanyahu has got a history of using threats against Israel to cling to power.

And in fact, not only that, he uses threats to Israel to come into power in the first place.

In 1995, after Yitzhak Rabin had been assassinated by an extremist Jewish settler, Netanyahu was actually blamed for that.


Because Yitzhak Rabin, whatever people think of Yitzhak Rabin, I'm not a fan of, I'll be honest, I'm not a fan of any leader of any country.

And, you know, the Israelis and the Palestinians, they're tired of fighting all the time, as much as people seem to think that it's in their DNA to fight.

And of course, that deal wasn't going to fly with the settlers who want to come in and take over or whatever.

Now, the people that wanted the peace and that were favouring Yitzhak Rabin and all the rest of it and his, you know, negotiating with Yasser Arafat, there were huge protests and there were banners blaming Benjamin Netanyahu and blaming his rhetoric for this assassination.
