AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): A pilot was taken “out of service” by Air Canada for comments in support of Palestine and against Israel.
The airline announced on Tuesday that pilot Mostafa Ezzo was removed from service Oct. 9.
“We are aware of the unacceptable posts made by an Air Canada pilot. We are taking this matter very seriously, and he was taken out of service on Mon, Oct. 9. We firmly denounce violence in all forms,” posted Air Canada on X, without referring to the Israeli regime’s continued violence and brutality against Palestinians.
Among the posts that got Ezzo in trouble were a photograph shared on his Instagram account in which he holds a sign that reads “Israel, Hitler is proud of you.” The sign also called Israel a “terrorist state.”
Ezzo also posted on Instagram a poster for the anti-Israel protest in Montreal this weekend.
Other concerning posts shared on social media by the pilot included one of him holding a protest sign with a figure throwing the Israeli flag into the trash. The caption on the board reads, “Keep the world clean.”
