Arab man PLOT HOLE

So the Arab men apparently we're innocent and had nothing to do with the kidnapping of the girl, but that still doesn't explain why the two of them
were looking into the daughter's room from their room in the beginning of the movie.

If you re-watch the scene, it's clearly the same two arab men looking through the window.

I know some of you will say that Jodie Foster's character just imagined seeing them there but in reality it was probably the cop and the stewardess. That doesn't make any sense. She wasn't delusional and so why would she just imagine 2 arab men looking at her daughter's room?

Check the scenes again. It's definitely them looking through the window.
Interesting plothole.

Your point is valid but it's more of a red-herring or unresolved plot element than a plot hole.

According to the DVD commentary it was NOT the same men looking through the window. They just looked extremely similar to the Arab guys on the plane.

The Arabs on the plane were different, not the same men we see from her apartment window.
Not at all. Watch again.

You know what.s funny though? The actor with the beard is a Jew in real life 👨 💂 his name is Cohen.

But then again, they are cousins, you just cant say it out loud.

Nothing explains anything any Arab does, no matter how innocuous.

Get a grip on reality already... jeez.
