1. A PHOTO TAKEN FROM THE FLIGHT? NONSENSE!
FO ,   Belgium   (12.13.17)
I didn't know that Israeli security allows a foreign commercial flight to fly above Jerusalem, and worse at an altitude of approximately 400 meters!?!?
2. Big lol flight to no where
Adasa ,   Los Angeles   (12.13.17)
No one cares, what you all say anymore...your words are nothing... So go to the corner hehe..ð゚リチð゚リハ
3. Mistake granting Jordanians overflight rights over Israel

4. Transportation Engineer
Richard Dougherty ,   Los Angeles, USA   (12.13.17)
Jordanians are really Palestineans! Jordan changed its name in 1935. When the British carved up the middle east, King Fisel declared that the land west of the Jordan Rivers was Israel's. Jordan illegally occupied the west bank until 1967!
5. Does he tell them the real Capitol of Palestine is Amman?
Koose E Mack ,   NY   (12.13.17)
I don't think he'd be very popular?
6. Not exactly profiles in courage
David ,   New york   (12.13.17)
Now if her said Jerusalem capital of Israel
That would be rave, since he would likely be killed
7. Is there any doubt that this pilot can do suicide missions
naro ,   nyc   (12.13.17)
Is there any doubt that this pilot can do suicide missions in Israel and elsewhere? He should lose his international pilot license
8. Jordan Parliament openly support terrorism-end of Israel
Reality Check   (12.13.17)
time to accept reality. Jordan is not a friend nor is it at peace with Israel. They burn Israeli flags, call for its destruction support terrorist attacks in Israel even carried out by ISIS. They discriminate against Jews and their entry to Jordan specifically religious. They openly stand with mostly of Israels enemies.

Israel has saved Jordan from invasion by Syria and Jordan is nearly 80% of Mandate Palestine. Enough nonsense.

If anyone can give me rational reasons to consider Jordan a friend/ally or anything other than a supporter of our enemies while taking advantage of Israels military and technological might, go ahead.
9. Jordan is Palestine
Robbie Michaelson ,   Ramat ha Sharon   (12.13.17)
The smart-ass Jordanian Pilot should have started his political diatribe by saying: "We are now taking off from Palestine" as the fact is that most of the people who live in that do nothing for humanity country are of Palestinian origin!
10. I never been crazy about allowing Jordan overflight permits
Alan   (12.13.17)
Very dangerous!!!!
11. They can say Jerusalem is Palestine’s
Incredulous   (12.13.17)
capital until they are blue in the face. The fact is that
Jerusalem is recognized as Israel’s capital by the
only power that matters.
12. This pilot needs to be reported to the FAA
naro ,   nyc   (12.13.17)
This pilot needs to be reported to the FAA and prevented from flying to the USA. Remember Egyptair 900 crash, and probably Malaysia Air. I would be afraid to fly with this pilot.
13. These are serious developments
SeriousDanger ,   Jerusalem   (12.13.17)
What’s next a Jordanian suicide bomber
Israelis and Americans should boycott
Jordanian Airlines for their safety and
Self respect Will this pilot be punished or allowed
To fly over Israel or to America
Hope someone’s keeping serous tabs on
This one
14. HE CAN EVEN GO BURN A FEW FLAGS IF HE WANTS TO. WHO CARES!!
IRANIAN JEW ,   LALA LAND   (12.14.17)
ISRAEL is moving forward.
15. So What?
Mark ben Josef ,   USA   (12.14.17)
His country just like most in the known world have not bought into Netanyahu and Trump's narrative. They still think the Geneva Conventions' ban on acquiring territory by force of arms has meaning.
16. Geographic hallucinations
odin ,   Philly   (12.14.17)
This is your captain. On your right, Palestine. On your left, in a few moments, Atlantis.
17. Hal Rice: "Wearing a burka on campus?"
A ,   OutThere   (12.14.17)
Actually, he's an Irish drunk using a fake name.
18. another ....
steve s   (12.14.17)
Another example that Arabs would rather lie than acknowledge the truth. The four cornerstones of Arab morality: 1) admit nothing 2) never apologize 3) always lie 4) always blame others. It is why negotiating with them is fruitless.
