Mnar Adley — My brother and our cousins, who are Palestinian-American, were pulled off the airplane and held by airport security & police at the Minneapolis, MN (MSP) airport last night on their way home from a wedding and were not allowed to leave after questioning because a White woman (pictured below) on board "felt scared" and told the airline my brother and his friends were suspicious for taking turns using the bathroom and claimed they made a bomb threat directly to her.

My brother and cousins were speaking in Arabic and English and wearing Palestine necklaces. They are all in their early 20s.

In addition, security took several other Arabic speaking & Muslim passengers off the plane for questioning and held them preventing them from leaving as well. They were all racially profiled and treated as suspect.

After about an hour, security and police realized there was no basis to the woman's claims and they she was lying and so they sent everyone home. They refused to give my brother the name of the woman and refused to allow him to file a false police report against the woman.

The police told my brother to just go home and there is nothing to report on, "it's a she said, he said situation".

But this woman put my brother, our cousins and Arabic speaking passengers in danger. Anyone on the plane could've reacted to her allegation and became violent, even pulled out a gun on them or caused panick.

He, our cousins and the other Arabic speaking passengers were treated as suspect because they are Palestinian-American and this is without a doubt the result of mainstream corporate media dehumanization of Palestinian victims in Gaza that are being targeted by incessant Israeli bombs. Since October 7th the media has helped manufacture consent for Israel's genocide in Gaza that has killed over 20,000 Palestinians using US supplied bombs by parroting Israeli talking points that portray all Palestinians as subhuman.

We still don't know this woman's name and would like help identifying her.

Update: The daughter, who initially made the false bomb threat, is a local police officer in the city of Blaine, MN named Hailey Larson. The mother is named Jenny Luft Larson. I don't know what to be more upset about: the false bomb claim that a police officer made by racially profiling my brother and our cousins are hearing them speak Arabic and taking turns to use the bathroom or the fact that the airport police knew she was a police officer and gaslit my family into just going home and refusing to allow my brother to file a counter police report against Hailey Larson.

Airport police refused to give my brother their names and told them to just go home bc "there's nothing to file here" basically covering for her because she's a cop. I'm pretty sure if someone makes a false bomb threat claim, there are serious legal repercussions. Haley Larson is a public servant, her job is funded by our taxpayer money and she engaged in racism, racial profiling and treated my family as suspect because they are Muslim and Palestinian- American. This is classic post 911 islamophobia all over again.

“McCarthy succeeded because he discovered and made full use of a tradition of American journalism—that most newpapermen report the news 'straight.' This means that if a prominent person says something sensational—even if untrue—the press normally will report the statement exactly as spoken ... The press simply acts as a mirror.”

"The Islamophobic and anti-Palestinian rhetoric that have been used to both justify violence against Palestinians in Gaza and silence supporters of Palestinian human rights here in America has contributed to this unprecedented surge in bigotry," the statement Council on American-Islamic Relations continued, adding that "American Muslims are facing the largest wave of Islamophobic bias that we have documented since then-candidate Donald Trump's Muslim Ban announcement in December 2015."

Hate crimes against Muslims and those perceived to be Muslim in the United Kingdom are up by 140 percent compared with this time last year, according to British police.

In the United States, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Muslim civil rights group, said it had received 2,171 complaints of Islamophobia and anti-Arab bias since October 7, a 172 percent increase since the previous year.

Last month three men were shot in Vermont, and around the same period, Stuart Seldowitz, a former adviser to President Barak Obama, was captured on video taunting and threatening a fast food vendor in Manhattan with Islamophobic abuse.

"The Ugly American is not just an individual; it is a mindset that infects an entire nation." —

This quote from the book "The Ugly American" by William J. Lederer and Eugene Burdick encapsulates a profound truth about national behavior and attitudes.

“The bureaucrat has become a self-styled sacred person; and the common man is blocked from finding out what the bureaucrats are doing, let alone controlling them.”
