And no, contrary to what people believe in your native Pakistan, our country and our military do not deliberately shoot down airliners full of innocent civilians. You're comparing a tragic fog-of-war accident to deliberate targeting of US and Israeli civilians. Funny how you also conveniently omit that the US paid $131 million in compensation for the accident. Do you recall Iran ever paying any compensation for their terror activities throughout the decades or say.... Khobar Towers bombing that killed 19 US airmen? I sure don't.

As for 'following the money,' it is a cliché, lazy, and pathetic pivot to AIPAC. It’s ironic that you’ve built a career as a pilot in the US while still clutching the same anti-American tropes and regional biases you were raised with..... you are deliberately dismissing a documented trail of American blood just to protect that narrative.
