The takeover of the stabber: The Israeli DNA that never disappoints

An opinion column by Oz Ben Nuno analyzing the takeover of a Flydubai pilot by Israeli passengers as an expression of the Israeli DNA of responsibility and willingness to fight. The author links this to the political controversy over whether Netanyahu was updated before the war, arguing that the debate is empty and attempts to reduce responsibility to narrow legal guilt.

An opinion column by Oz Ben Nuno, published on ynet, analyzes the incident in which Israeli passengers and the flight crew took control of a Flydubai pilot, as a symbol of the Israeli DNA. The author argues that the lack of surprise at the Israelis' takeover stems from an innate readiness to fight, not from a thirst for blood but from a deep responsibility towards those around them. He links this to the political controversy over whether Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was updated before the war. According to him, the debate between the left claiming 'it's clear he knew and didn't lift a finger' and the right shouting 'if only they had woken him, everything would have looked different' is barren and futile. The author argues that the debate attempts to reduce the concept of responsibility to pure legal guilt, relying on the philosopher Bernard Williams. He compares the situation to a babysitter whose children are slaughtered at home, arguing that even if he could not have prevented the disaster, he would bear responsibility. The central message: what is at stake is preserving the basic DNA of responsibility, service, and loyalty, not just physical survival.
