Today we finish 1/3 of Ramadan and yet our brothers and sisters in Gaza have endured almost 6 months of famine and forced starvation. 6 million people in Sudan have been displaced and many other parts of the world are suffering. May Allah (God) bring ease to everyone suffering.
🚨Update: I now have the identities of the two women who falsely made a bomb threat claim against my brother, and one of them is a cop.
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.
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.
Israel has broken SIXTY TWO United Nations Resolutions with absolutely no consequences.
Iraq broke two and got invaded and destroyed by the United States for 8 years.
