Journalist Slams Netanyahu's Airport Greeting of Passengers Who Thwarted Attack

Journalist and media personality Emmanuel Rosen fiercely criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to personally greet passengers on a Flydubai flight at Ben Gurion Airport. These passengers had reportedly thwarted an airborne attack. Rosen expressed his strong disapproval on his X account, calling Netanyahu "the man who wasn't at funerals, the man who didn't visit bereaved families, the man who took a year and a half to reach Nir Oz." He declared, "There has never been such a zero in the history of Israeli politics."

Rosen also addressed the public discourse surrounding the incident, particularly claims that Netanyahu supporters ('Bibiists') were responsible for foiling the attack. He wrote, "Every Bibiist who hears a shofar says that Bibiists saved the plane, needs to understand first and foremost that there are people sitting up there who attribute less intelligence to him than I attribute to a dog I don't have."

This is not the first time Rosen has voiced strong opinions regarding the government's actions and public statements. Previously, in response to the controversy surrounding the film "Nezar," he questioned the government's stance. He noted a perceived contradiction between ministers and supporters calling for the destruction of Gaza and labeling every child a terrorist, and their outrage over a film expressing similar sentiments.
