*đŹđ§ - Amnesty UK Chair Quits Greens After Party Votes Zionism Is Racism* Sandy Ruthven, chair of Amnesty International UK, has resigned from the Green Party after members voted to define Zionism as racism. The motion passed Sunday at the partyâs conference in Brighton, 1,022 votes to 813. It declares the Greens an anti-Zionist party and calls for a single Palestinian state across all of historic Palestine, with Jerusalem as its capital. Delegates also rejected a safeguarding amendment meant to protect members who attend synagogues that describe themselves as Zionist, by 1,026 votes to 648. Ruthven, an MBE and the Greensâ 2021 mayoral candidate in Bristol, said he was speaking in a personal capacity. âMy heart has always been with the Green Party of England and Wales and I have been a member for longer than I can remember. But this motion at conference marks the end of the line for me,â he said. He accused the party of failing to confront prejudice on its own side while courting the hard left, and said it had led itself âinto a political cul-de-sac.â Jewish members told The Jewish Chronicle they felt betrayed. Israelâs foreign ministry called the motion a âclear antisemitic textâ and banned Green leader Zack Polanski, who is Jewish and did not vote, from entering the country.

*đźđ± - IDF Chief Tells Nation The Army Failed Its Most Important Mission On October 7* Three years after the October 7 massacre, IDF Chief of the General Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir stood with the General Staff at a memorial marking the day. The forum held a moment of silence at 6:29 a.m. at Zikim Base, one of the bases terrorists attacked that morning. Flags were lowered to half-mast. In his order of the day, Zamir told soldiers, reservists, and IDF civilian staff that on Simchat Torah 5784, Israelâs borders were breached. âThe IDF failed in its most important mission to protect the civilians of the State of Israel.â He remembered civilians murdered in their homes, young people who went out to dance and never came back, hostages murdered in captivity, and soldiers and rescue teams who ran into the attack and fell. Zamir said the country still has a duty to investigate what happened and put the lessons in place, so the army can be worthy of the trust placed in it. He said security gains since that day do not erase the failure. State memorials are also being held today at Mount Herzl.

An Omani co-pilot attacked the captain midair on a Dubai-to-Tel Aviv flight. The pilot fought back, got the cockpit door open, and Israeli passengers helped overpower the attacker. The plane landed safely. Leib said the aircraft was likely 5 to 10 seconds from an irreversible nose dive. He called radical Islam a clear and present danger that has to be taken seriously, and said it has spread worldwide because of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Investigators are still looking at whether the co-pilot acted alone or had outside ties. Iran has denied any role.

*đŹđ§ - Simulator Shows Flydubaiâs 16,000-Foot Drop Would Feel Like A Vertical Roller Coaster* A flydubai jet that plunged about 16,000 feet in 30 seconds would have felt like a very, very vertical roller coaster, an aviation instructor who recreated the drop for Reuters said. The difference is passengers had no warning. Unbuckled bodies would lift out of their seats from the negative g-force. Flight FZ1073 was a Boeing 737 MAX 8 heading from Dubai to Israel on Sept. 30 when the co-pilot attacked the captain with an emergency crash axe. UAE prosecutors have called it a terrorist attack. Passengers overpowered the co-pilot. A reserve crew leveled the plane and landed it safely in Saudi Arabia. The captain was the only reported injury. Instructor Alberto Paduanelli, who ran the descent in a simulator in southern England, called it a miracle the airframe and everyone else held.

*đșđž - Park Slope Teacher Praised Oct. 7 Mastermind In Food Coop Chat, Lawsuit Says* A Brooklyn public school teacher is under investigation after a lawsuit says he praised Hamas leader Yahya Al-Sinwar in a Park Slope Food Coop group chat.

According to the filing, Neva wrote âLong live Yahya al-Sinwarâ in a November 2024 Signal chat tied to the coopâs campaign to ban Israeli goods. Sinwar planned the Oct. 7 massacre and was killed by Israeli forces the month before. Jewish coop members sued last week after the board voted to ban Israeli products. The lawsuit describes Neva as a leader of that boycott push. He also reportedly wrote that pro-Israel members âdo not have the votes to block our campaign.â The city Department of Education said the allegation was referred for investigation, and that antisemitism and support for terrorist organizations have no place in the school system. Former Brooklyn assemblyman Dov Hikind called for Neva to be fired.

Israeli officials say the IDF is preparing for another confrontation with Iran and is coordinating with US Central Command on the possibility of an Iranian missile attack on Israel and Jordan.

Khalil said the administration is not interested in his views and called the question a âlitmus test.â He argued the same question is not put to American or Israeli officials, then said it is not about refusing to condemn Hamas. It is about refusing the premise. He called those questions silly and said that is why âwe refuse to answer such questions.â In the same answer, he said he believes in a free Palestine âbetween the river and the sea,â where every person, regardless of faith, lives with dignity. Media watchdog HonestReporting pushed back directly. Asking whether he condemns Hamas is not a silly question, the group said. If he cannot condemn the people who carried out the October 7 massacre, why should anyone believe his vision of a âFree Palestineâ includes Jews living alongside Palestinians in peace? *VINâs Take:* For a lot of people in the community, this is not a trick question.

*đźđ± - Copilot Told Investigators He Planned To Crash Flydubai Jet Into Ben Gurion* The Omani copilot who attacked the captain of flydubai Flight 1073 told investigators he meant to fly the plane into Ben Gurion Airport, Channel 12 reports. Hamam al-Hammami, under arrest in the UAE, said he planned to kill the captain, keep the flight looking normal, take landing clearance, and then hit a building or a jet on the ground. He waited until the plane was over Jordan so the turn would come too late to stop. He had flown into Ben Gurion several times in recent months. Channel 12 says a June trip was spent scouting the airport, and that he canceled a July attempt at the last minute because he was friends with someone on the crew. Channel 13 quotes him saying he picked flydubai because it flies to Tel Aviv, and that he planned the attack before he was hired.Israeli investigators have not questioned him. The details come from the Saudi and Emirati probes. The UAE has called the September 30 attack a terrorist operation. Al-Hammami hit Indian captain Smit Machchhar with the cockpit crash axe. Machchhar, already wounded, got the cockpit door open. Passengers pulled al-Hammami off the controls. Yaniv Hayun, a plumber from Nes Ziona, put him in a chokehold and pulled the nose up after the jet dove. Two off-duty pilots then landed the plane in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. About 174 people were on board, most of them Israeli. No passengers were seriously hurt. Al-Hammami had already been flagged in Oman over extremist views and was taken off flying at Oman Air before flydubai hired him. He had been on the DubaiâTel Aviv route before. Israel is now asking how an Omani pilot got into that cockpit at all.
