US-based United Airlines suspended one of its pilots after he posted on social media, praising the actions of Hamas terrorists and calling them "brave people."

United Airlines, an American-based airline, suspended one of its pilots, Ibrahim Mossallam, after he praised the Hamas October 7 attacks, referring to the genocidal terrorist group's actions as "brave."

Mossallam also wrote that "the mass media is manipulated in a political and biased way to show a non-conquering narrative of Palestine."

He continued to say that the October 7 attacks, in which babies were seen being burned alive and more than 1,000 Israelis and foreigners were brutally massacred, were not "without provocation from the other side."
