The hijacker, a Palestinian woman named Leila Khaled, later said of the El Al flight: “We knew beforehand that on the plane there were armed security men - but we didn't know that the crew were armed too.” This is kind of surprise that saves lives. Precisely 31 years before 9/11/2001, El Al had demonstrated a hijacker’s worst nightmare: an armed crew and defiant passengers. Thirty-one years later, Todd Beamer—of the fourth airliner on 9/11/01, United Flight 93—had nothing to fight with.

She was a known enemy of Israel, who had plastic surgery to get past Israeli security and onto another flight. In a BBC interview on January 1, 2001, Khaled was asked about the importance of forcing the government of Britain to negotiate, and she answered: “The success in the tactics of hijacking and imposing our demands and succeeding in having our demands implemented, gave us the courage and the confidence to go ahead with our struggle.

Hostages held 5 weeks, then released in return for the 2 Palestinian and 1 Syrian hijacker, and 16 prisoners. The first and last successful El Al hijacking December 26 1968 : Greece: Gunfire attack on El Al airliner in Athens. 1 killed, 1 wounded. In response, Israeli commandos destroyed 14 Lebanese aircraft at Beirut International Airport February 18 1969 : Switzerland: Gunfire attack on El Al airliner at Zurich. 1 killed. 1 hijacker killed; 4 imprisoned. August 19 1969 : TWA Flight 840, Rome to Athens, hijacked to Damascus, destroyed after hostages freed August 23 1969 : Attack on Israeli Commercial Fair in Izmir. 1 bomber killed, 1 wounded from the bomb.

Thirty-one years later, Todd Beamer—of the fourth airliner on 9/11/01, United Flight 93—had nothing to fight with.

She was a known enemy of Israel, who had plastic surgery to get past Israeli security and onto another flight.

Zes miljoen vergaste joden. Daar kunnen die moslims nog eens een puntje aan zuigen.

Dan waren ze misschien bezig aan de kweek van een nieuwe lichting jihadi's. Moet ook gebeuren he.

Heb je misschien ergens een lijstje van wat moslims al positief hebben gedaan voor de mensheid, en ik zeg duidelijk voor alle mensen en niet enkel voor moslims?
