The Israeli government (click here) is preparing it’s defenses on the off chance that the Malaysian Flight 370 was hijacked and may be used as a weapon against their country. The thought of a 9/11 style attack has them worried as it should. Israeli air defenses have been boosted and all civilian aircraft will be required to identify itself upon entering their airspace.
The Israeli government is obligated to protect Israel with every advantage, that doesn't mean there is a sincere danger simply because Israel is a convenient target for hateful politics.
Israel alone cannot protect itself from it's sovereign boundaries, the USA has to help. To that end we are allies and I am sure there is a Navy ship somewhere in the region with radar for early detection of any approaching danger. A plane loaded with nuclear material has to be found before it is a threat, afterward is too late.
I will say this, if the trajectory of the missing 777 was altered through it's computer, it occurred before it took off and the crew didn't notice it as they consider their computers a friendly agent in flight. So the jet engaged in a computer appropriate turn, it was more than likely considered a turn in the route on it's way to Beijing.
The idea there was absolutely no telephone calls from the plane speaks to a reality the right wing can't deny. If the right wing is going to say the telephone service on the 777 was cut off in it's computer driven hijacking then that is a much larger problem involving a country with the capacity beyond sabotage at the level of the pilot. That is a country with satellite control of telecommunications and that is a completely separate dialogue.
The jet is in the Yellow Sea.
There is also real incentive for the countries in the Malaysian neighborhood to seek to divert any crash of a 777. The West's media would immediately begin the 'who done it' search to enhance war mongering. It just may be the search of the Yellow Sea continues while the world is entertained otherwise.These people are the only legitimate focus. Their suffering alone demands the attention of the world.
