Video: Gaza celebrates attack on Israel/Social media footage
An Air Canada pilot who posted a photo of himself holding a sign reading "Israel, Hitler is proud of you" has been fired from his job.
The pilot with the rank of first officer is Mostafa Ezzo, who flies in the fleet of Dreamliners (Boeing 787) - the plane that carries out the route between Toronto and Tel Aviv.

Mustafa posted several photos on social media expressing his disgust with Israel, one showing him in his pilot's uniform wrapped in a Palestinian scarf, while another showed a photograph from October 8 showing Gaza residents in an IDF army jeep, apparently from the recent massacre, and at the bottom he wrote: "Go f*** Israel, burn in hell."
Another photo uploaded by pilot Mustafa shows him at a Palestinian demonstration, apparently in Canada, holding a sign reading "Keep the world clean" under a painting of a man throwing an Israeli flag into the trash.

Air Canada: Unacceptable Post
Air Canada, for its part, initially issued a statement on Network X saying it was aware of the pilot's unacceptable post, that it was taking the matter very seriously and that the pilot had been suspended as of October 9. "We reject violent attacks of any kind," the company tweeted Wednesday. The company later tweeted again that it could confirm that the controversial pilot no longer works for the company, following the proceedings that began on Monday.
