Palestinian men can't board flight because they were speaking Arabic

Two Palestinian men were left feeling humiliated and upset earlier this week after they were briefly stopped from boarding a flight from Chicago when another traveler overheard them speak Arabic.

Pizza shop owner Maher Khalil and his friend Anas Ayyad were stopped while attempting to board a Southwest Airlines flight to Philadelphia at Chicago’s Midway International Airport on Wednesday.

Less than a week later on Sunday, a Southwest flight headed from Indianapolis to Los Angeles was diverted to Kansas City International airport because several passengers were being ‘unruly.’
