About
Israeli passengers had just minutes to stop a hijacked plane from becoming a weapon, and Daniel Seaman says their actions reveal something much bigger about how Israel survives.
In this episode of "Straight Up", Seaman examines the heroism aboard the FlyDubai flight and draws a direct parallel to the ordinary Israelis who rushed into action on October 7. He also returns to Gaza’s own social-media footage to challenge Western narratives about conditions there and examines why mounting pressure on Iran could dramatically reshape the region. Finally, Seaman turns to Kohelet and Sukkot for a larger lesson: in a long war, patience, endurance and the ability to see beyond the latest headline may matter more than anything else.
