As investigators delve into last week’s failed terrorist attack on FlyDubai Flight 1073, two main threads emerge: The first is a celebration of the heroism of the Indian pilot and Israeli passengers and the service of Saudi medical staff when the plane eventually landed. The second are the conspiracy theories that reflect both the mainstreaming of antisemitism and anti-Zionism. A third reaction flies under the radar but should wake up the State Department.

On Saturday, Sadiq al Gharyani, the grand mufti of Libya, called on Muslim pilots to emulate Omani pilot Hamam al Hammami and hijack aircraft to attack Israel.
