Copilot Tries to Hijack a Flight to Israel
This week on CUFI Weekly, we examine a frightening question: what happens when the people and institutions we are supposed to trust no longer feel safe?An Israel-bound Flydubai flight narrowly avoided catastrophe after a pilot allegedly stabbed the captain and attempted to crash the aircraft—an incident Israeli authorities are investigating as a possible terror attack with chilling echoes of 9/11. Meanwhile, in Britain, a report on its National Health Service documented the discrimination experienced by Jewish staff and patients from the cockpit to the hospital, trust matters. When antisemitism and hatred penetrate professions entrusted with human life, the consequences extend far beyond hateful words—they undermine the basic confidence that people should be able to place in those responsible for their safety.
