United Airlines has suspended a pilot after a Facebook post he put up calling the Hamas attack on Israeli civilians "a resistance by a brave people who have endured decades of occupation, oppression, humiliation, apartheid and straight-up murder." In the post, Capt. Ibrahim R. Mossallam also accused U.S. media of bias toward Israel and urged his unknown number of followers to "work on expanding your media literacy." The post went up on Oct. 7, the day Hamas members killed an estimated 1,200 people in Israeli settlements close to the border with Gaza.
