As you know, the co-pilot of a commercial airliner headed from Dubai to Tel Aviv that was carrying mostly Israeli passengers stabbed the pilot and attempted to crash the plane. Fortunately, crew and passengers were able to intervene and save the lives of everyone just in time.
Israeli Prime Minister said the attempt to crash the plane was a jihadist attack by a radical Muslim:

Knowing that isn't enough for some in the media to be willing to connect a couple of dots.

The "motive unknown" media cliche is alive and well!
Did the terrorist write this headline?

Right, perhaps it was a disagreement over the flight path or the playlist. pic.twitter.com/wvgPYNlwKz

How many outlets are going to stick with "an altercation" as being the reason the plane nearly crashed?
We may never know the motive of the terrorist attack with the most obvious motive in the world. https://t.co/Mq595m1C3x

A religious extremist (who is Muslim) tried to crash a jet full of Jews. Hmm

Motive? Total mystery.
