I have a simple request: sign and share my petition calling on United Airlines to fire pilot Ibrahim R. Mossallam and answer some basic questions.
After Hamas’s October 7 massacre, Mossallam reportedly described the attack as “a resistance by a brave people” and said it was “not an unprovoked attack.” United removed him from service with pay while it investigated. A 2025 court order in a separate case later recounted an allegation that he returned to flying about a month later. The court wasn’t deciding whether his statements were acceptable; it was recounting the allegation. United should clarify what happened.
This isn’t a demand that pilots agree with me about Israel. It’s a demand for accountability when someone trusted with thousands of lives publicly characterizes a massacre of civilians as brave resistance. United owes its passengers an answer about its standards, its investigation, and its decision.
And no, I’m not asking you for money. Keep your wallet right where it is. This is the rare internet request that does not end with “enter your credit card number.” I’m asking for something much more useful right now: your signature—and a share so more people see it.
If you already choose to support my writing as a paid subscriber, thank you. If you don’t, no awkward invoice is hiding behind this link. The goal here is simple: maximum signatures.
Sign and share the petition:
United wants passengers’ trust. Let’s ask what it’s doing to earn it.
Signed and complete Semper Fi!!!
Signed and completed. I'm asking EVERYONE who reads this to please sign this petition & share it with everyone you know. G-d bless you if you do!
