Elyasaf Ezra wrote, “The world should stand and applaud Captain Smit Machchhar! Because sometimes, the distance between 174 people and catastrophe is just one man refusing to give up. Captain Smit, the people of Israel owe you a debt of gratitude. And India has every reason to be proud of the man it gave the world. You have earned a place of honor among the heroes of humanity. After helping so many people find their way home, all that remains is to pray that you, too, make it home healthy and whole. Wishing you a full and speedy recovery, Captain. And somehow, “thank you” still feels far too small.”

Nataly Dadon wrote, “Captain Smit Machchhar. Please remember his name and keep him in your prayers. The Indian captain was stabbed aboard today’s flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv. According to Israeli officials, despite his injuries, he managed to unlock the cockpit door, allowing passengers to enter and overpower the attacker. A reserve crew then brought the aircraft safely down in Saudi Arabia. Behind every passenger who survived is a whole world. A child to hold again. A parent waiting for a call. A family that gets to stay together. Thank you, Captain. Thank you to the brave Israeli passengers and crew who stepped forward when every second mattered.”

Einav Avizemer said in a video, “Thank you India. I want to take this opportunity and thank the Indian pilot. What a hero. Without him, it could end up in a whole different way. He fought this terrorist. And he fought until the last minute. And according to the Israelis, before he collapsed, he opened the door of the cockpit. Now he is in critical condition. Just imagine what would have happened if he could not open the door. I don’t even want to think about it. So on behalf of the Jewish people and on behalf of Israel, I wanna say thank you India!”
