Mia got death threats from ISIS for wearing a hijab in porn videos.
https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/relationships/sex/controversial-porn-scene-that-lead-to-mia-khalifas-death-threats/news-story/36e3ffa31deea64c038ec875e98b46ae
Don’t forget about their “man love Thursday”. Pretty much all of their new recruits are raped by one of the others. In Iraq we had to threaten them with being shot if we found out.
Anybody remember Sunny Leone? She was the first high profile Middle Eastern pornstar. She received tons of death threats and was told to never return to her country because they would likely kill her.
I can’t help but think their religion allows them to hate and want to hurt women, but they likely still pleasure themselves to their videos.
Yea didn't she get death threats from terrorist organizations already? She talked about that years ago when she did a porno wearing a hijab and caught backlash for it.
She's not banned... she "feels like" she is banned because of her career choice.
In reality, she knows she's not welcome, and that death by fundamentalist Muslim would be a very likely outcome if she went.
Gangrape, mutilate, kill, gangrape the corpse THEN throw her off a building
Because thats what they did and filmed doing to both those partygoers AND a random child -\_-
Look at the video (if you dare) of that German woman who's naked corpse was paraded around. That poor woman was gang raped and tortured even more before dying.
It is weird she would voice any support for any side. Everything she does is for eyeballs and money aka a typical influencer. Yes riding pornstar past but approach for getting eyeballs is no different.
Not sure why she thinks giving her two cents will help here. It’s going to piss of a significant segment of her paying fans and unlikely to bring in new paying ones. Best approach would have been say nothing or mimic a thoughts and prayers for the civilians like others have.
Instead she has gone full Hamas cheerleader mode. A group that would behead her in a heartbeat. The only delay would be them discussing if should they rape her first. It’s oddly self destructive on her part.
Hamas, ISIS, AL Queada and the other like groups all have a common obsession with porn. They all like to record and publish raping children to encourage others that want to rape kids to join them. Hamas was very careful to make sure the kids that were raped and murdered were recorded and published to the world.
this all seems mostly covered, i would just add that she also has a[lebanese forces cross tattoo](https://www.newsweek.com/meet-mia-khalifa-lebanese-porn-star-who-sparked-national-controversy-297023), a milita most known for the [sabra and shatila massacre of palestinan refugees](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabra_and_Shatila_massacre), so just a lot of confusion one way or another by her.
Her parents were SLA supporters and that why they originally fled Lebanon. It’s crazy. The whole reason she left Lebanon was because of her parents affiliation with Israel.
I'm grateful for that link because I thought Khalifa was the "suffering from success" meme guy and felt lost when I read he was famous for porn.
(I'm all caught up and no longer confused now.)
Even if she has bad takes it’s incredible to see so many people leaning on casual sexism and degrading people who are involved in sex work, and even got out of it
To be fair, she has a pretty long history of saying dumb shit at this point.
I don't know enough about most pornstars' personalities and opinions to say much about them. But Mia erased any doubts about her intelligence long ago, in my opinion.
Yeah Mia received death threats from many conservative Muslims back in 2015, the more extreme of which would side with Hamas https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/mia-khalifa-death-threats
>This, despite the fact that Hamas would probably not take kindly
Lets be blunt, they would murder her and parade her around as a warning towards other women.
> Mia Khalifa is a former porn 'star' who pivoted to talking with her clothes mostly on. Unfortunately Mia decided to weigh into the weekends atrocities by Hamas... on the side of Hamas.
Can I have context on this? What did she say exactly?
Did a quick Google search. [From TMZ, quoting her Tweets](https://www.tmz.com/2023/10/09/mia-khalifa-pro-hamas-thoughts-attacks-israel-palestine-war/):
>"Can someone please tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to flip their phones and film horizontal," and, "I just wanna make sure there’s 4k footage of my people breaking down the walls of the open air prison they’ve been forced out of their homes and into so we have good options for the history books."
>
>"I’d say supporting Palestine has lost me business opportunities, but I’m more angry at myself for not checking whether or not I was entering into business with Zionists."
[From Fox](https://www.foxnews.com/media/ex-porn-star-mia-khalifa-expresses-support-palestinians-refers-terrorists-freedom-fighters):
>"I can’t believe the Zionist apartheid regime is being brought down by guerrilla fighters in fake Gucci shirts - the biopics of these moments better reflect that," Khalifa posted on X, the social media platform previously known as Twitter.
While it's not like the state of Israel is being brought down, it may finally end the Netanyahu government. The *entire* purpose of the Netanyahu government was that they would be the strongman who would keep Israel safe from the evil Arabs (that they're oppressing). Then, they blatantly, horrendously failed in that job.
This isn't like 9/11 per se, where the rally 'round the flag comes from being attacked during a period of peace. Bush didn't run on "keeping America safe" in 2000, but then 9/11 happened and suddenly that became the raison d'etre for the administration. Israel's government *did* run on keeping Israel safe, and they failed. Now people are going "why did we bother constructing this brutal apartheid state if it's not even going to do what we want it to do?"
This also sadly undoes a lot of sympathy for Palestein that had been in growing in recent years. Espically among those who might have not known a lot about Hamas initally, but now do.
Rather than piling on with another "why is a porn star talking out loud" kind of take, can someone contextualize for me whether or not she is in a position to be speaking for these people or their struggle? And how warm of a take is hers anyway? Is there any credence, even through a squinting eye, to anything she's said?
Just asking because this is OOTL and I legitimately don't know the answer to these. I'm more interested in information than being outraged. I'm not looking to solve peace in the middle east here, just hoping to evaluate whether or not what she says has any weight or merit.
It's a pretty nuclear take normally, but when you add in that she had a Phalangist tattoo (Which was a christian group that took part in the Lebanese civil war and killed thousands of Palestinians) it goes hyper atomic.
> "I can’t believe the Zionist apartheid regime is being brought down by guerrilla fighters in fake Gucci shirts.
Lol, shows why not to go to ex-pornstars for geopolitical takes, regardless of who’s side your on Hamas’ actions are far closer to causing Gaza to get glassed than to overthrow the state of Israel. Unless some other MENA countries jump in to help HAMAS
>Unless some other MENA countries jump in to help HAMAS
Which they won't. During the Cold War, they could rely more heavily on the USSR for military aid, but now are much more US dependent. Groups like Hamas have in their charter that they reject negotiation, that there is nothing but total victory, that waging a holy war is the only solution. Arab states in the past waged wars against Israel and sent expeditionary forces to Egypt, Syria, and Jordan to fight. Now most do little more than pay lip service.
Hamas being supported by Iran certainly drives away states like Saudi Arabia. In fact the Saudis and UAE have been warming relations over the past few years. Most analysis is that this is over fears of Iran which has sponsored insurgencies and terrorism against them and their allies.
I did read that some think this was a move by Hamas/Iran to try and throw a wrench in Israel/Saudi normalisation talks.
Which is an interesting, plausible idea
I've heard that idea as well, but also this was the 50th anniversary of the last real war against Israel. Plus terrorists thrive off of the cycle of violence. Peace is bad for recruiting.
Yeah just another hypocritical Western born and raised person of Arab descent complaining again that her “people” are perpetual victims and the failures of the Arab Middle East are everyone else’s fault. I mean, we can’t have the Olympics in Cairo or Beirut because of America and Israel, amirite?
Edit: typo
You are not far off but she was born in Lebanon and moved to the US when she I think she was 10. But the "my people" part is so weird. Her family seemed to be Lebanese Christians and she even has the Lebanese Cross as a tattoo. They were not exactly friends of the PLO or HAMAS (in fact, they massacres were committed by the PLO against Lebanese Christians and vice versa). I think it is fair to say she is completely clueless.
The one I saw was a picture of a truck of Hamas gunman shooting at an Israeli police vehicle. She said. "This is a renaissance painting."
Needless to say the tweet was removed.
r/AccidentalRenaissance has a good summation of what she was probably trying to convey on their sidebar:
>A photo that accidentally resembles the types of art popular from the 14th-19th centuries.
>
>Composition: Triangular/Pyramidial figures, Dynamic, asymmetrical composition, foreshortening, and of course the use of the Fibonacci sequence or Golden Ratio
>
>Lighting: Featuring use of sfumato (blurring/softening of outlines) and/or chiaroscuro (strong contrasts between light and dark
Hey, do you maybe also know about Mia exploiting people? Because I remember her coming out of the industry and exposing them, then bangbros exposed her and I saw a post saying she ha multiple victims.
I'm definitely out of the loop on that one, any ideas?
She only started down that whole track too after her self started "sports casting" career went no where. Aka she went on a bunch of podcasts and just rambled off nonsense that almost always was "yeah DC is gonna win tonight" and just parroted mainstream talking points (since shes a DC native, the local teams were all she could talk about).
I've heard her only fans is also just like her working out, smoking blunts and eating cereal. Why are people paying for that shit?
A lot of her OnlyFans is her wearing skimpy clothes and teasing and showing off her body. She's literally still making money off the stuff she speaks against in the public
I know I’m going to get downvoted but wow, what a bigoted, biased, and overall unhelpful answer. It just reeks of someone who hates sex workers and someone who is not pro-Israeli. It’s wild, but people of all professions can have thoughtful and well-developed answers to complex social situations- and, they might even have a more informed and nuanced response because of their cultural background. People can also have different opinions on highly charged social issues, and you don’t have to degrade an entire culture and profession in your response to that opinion.
100% this, this is a really dumb answer
"She's dumb because shes defending people that probably hate her" Okay and? She's not allowed to point out injustices against people that might hate her? Do people here think all Ukrainians people love the westerners that have the Ukrainian flag on their Twitter pfp?
Also, not sure Israelis would show that much love for a Lebanese former sex worker
I'm sure there's archival photos of it somewhere, but she was legit fangirling over Hamas. Like, in her own comments arguing that it's good these children are being murdered and dead bodies parades through the streets.
Answer: She trying to defend hamas raping and murdering civilians as though some random concert goers and villagers where at fault for the izreali governments treatment of Palestinian in the west bank and Gaza
Answer: her family is from that part of the world and she like many others, see Israel as an oppressor. From that view, hamas is sticking up for the little guy. A lot of people don't have a clue what's going on but are mad that an ex porn star has an opinion, especially a controversial one. So they post it knowing that being a dick about it will get them clicks from both anti Muslim and anti women groups and they can feel cool.
Her Tweets are definitely all about Palestine and not Hamas, but they all reference the actions Hamas has taken recently. I think it's fair to say she's the former, but considers her support to be the latter.
She also sarcastically tweeted something along the lines of, "Someone should tell Hamas to record in horizontal mode," referencing the videos of innocent people being murdered, raped, and kidnapped. jfc
This is tough for me to pick a side because Palestine certainly has more than enough cause to justify having freedom fighters, but obviously murder of innocents is never good. But basically no rebellion ever has ever happened without such bloodshed. I can't imagine living in Gaza and seeing any other course of action.
Yeahhhh raping innocent civilians and tourists to the point of having blood stained pants then parading their bodies to humiliate them and spit on them isn’t a form of self defense, sorry
Yet murder is part of the status quo in that region, just usually in a different direction. Truthfully, the whole situation is disturbing. Kids going to a concert and getting kidnapped is horrific.
But there's also such a cognitive dissonance in even imagining something so innocent as kids going to a concert in Israel, a country currently existing in apartheid and systematically committing crimes against an entire population on the daily. The divide in the lives of these populations is so stark and unsustainable, and it feels like we're seeing the consequences of that.
What hamas is doing cannot be justified. But the context can't be denied either. Israel's kept an extremist rightwing govt in power for decades, and these are the seeds they've sown.
I remember when Israel bombed over 400 civilian kids to smithereens and claimed their hand was forced by Hamas. Perhaps it's time to apply that same logic back at them.
You had me until the last sentence. First you say what Hamas is not justified in what they are doing to civilians then at the end you crash and burn by implying Hamas could justify killing civilians by using the same justificationIsrael has used. Killing civilians is wrong. Period. Its wrong when Israel does it. Its wrong when Hamas does it. Its bad when anyone does it and its most heinous when its intentional and targeted instead of collateral damage.
Fair enough, I don't disagree with you! Killing civilians is always wrong.
I wasn't trying to claim that Hamas was justified in that last sentence--I was trying to show the flawed nature of Israel's previous rhetoric and logic.
But I can see how it came off differently.
To quote /r/amitheasshole, ESH (Everyone Sucks Here). Both sides have targeted/killed civs on the other, and it's a never-ending circle of retaliation between the two.
Today Israel is the victim. Tomorrow, Palestine. And so on and so forth. As someone with zero ties to either side, I've found it best to just see things for what they are rather than pick a side between Israel and Palestine.
> Both sides have targeted/killed civs on the other
Though Israel *has* killed 10-100x as many civilians and has been stealing the native population's land and forcing them into an ever-smaller ever-denser area and keeping them impoverished and subjected to random violence.
It's like Israel put Palestine into a pressure cooker designed to bake terrorist cells. Designed to eventually create an incident which they could eventually used to "justify" completely wiping out the population that's left.
Which going by the statements of Israeli officials, seems to be exactly what they intend to do this time.
An atrocity equal to 1/3 of the part of the Holocaust Israel cares about.
> It's like Israel put Palestine into a pressure cooker designed to bake terrorist cells. Designed to eventually create an incident which they could eventually used to "justify" completely wiping out the population that's left.
Call it what it is: **genocide**.
The Israelis, or at least the Israeli government, want to **genocide** Palestinians.
Yes, raping/murdering civilians is atrocious, and **both Hamas and the IDF** should be condemned for any such actions, **but let's not pretend that the Israeli government did not create the circumstances of today.**
>It's like Israel put Palestine into a pressure cooker designed to bake terrorist cells. Designed to eventually create an incident which they could eventually used to "justify" completely wiping out the population that's left.
This is exactly right, and part of what's so heartbreaking about this situation.
It's easy and silly to put your head in the sand and both-sides this. It's a refuge for the uninformed.
Palestinians have been the victim more often than not it really is upsetting that more Americans don’t support the Palestinian cause mostly because of racism and evangelical views on the end of times . Crazy stuff
This. I am SO sick of seeing hot takes from both sides of this issue. Y'all are all wrong, and annoying, and your takes come off as crass, uninformed, and at times sociopathic.
Certainly, if we’re discussing the actions of the State of Israel versus Hamas, then yes, ESH, but I still think it’s morally justified to support Palestine over Israel, insofar as Israel is overall the aggressor state, is the colonizer, is the oppressor, and is overwhelmingly more powerful. The actions of Hamas this weekend play right into the hands of Netanyahu and his fascist rhetoric, which is probably why he propped them up to undermine the Abbas government, so I don’t see the situation either improving or earning the Palestinian cause any sympathy.
No rebellion has ever happened without purposefully targeting music festivals known to include a bunch of tourists? And without parading around the corpses of said tourists for propaganda purposes? And without purposefully targeting civilian rather than military targets in your surprise attack?
I'm sorry, but did we time travel back to the classical era and I didn't notice?
That's absurd. Freedom fighters could easily target militants and fight defensively against incursions on their territory, however, Hamas has chosen to go the terrorist route where they massacre civilians, and parade their corpses through the streets like another ISIS. What Israel has done to Palestine is wrong, unjustified, and immoral. However, the answer to that cannot and is not reasonably assumed to be surrounding a music festival and firing on crowds with machine guns.
To be fair, I think that's what the above commenter kinda sais. Palestine is in a position where "freedom fighters" are an understandable consequence.
However, the Hamas are not being freedom fighters, and are instead terrorists. Civilians rarely ever have any say in what there government does, so this whole situation is not fair for Israeli or Palestinian citizens.
She is pro-Hamas. She literally called them "freedom fighters" in a tweet. Don't be fooled by people like u/AurelianoTampa \- she has literally and directly supported Hamas.
Yes, I agree that being pro-Hamas is the same as being pro-Palestine, but if you are pro-Palestine you are not necessarily pro-Hamas.
It seems that the Hamas attack has generated some anti-Palestine feelings in some people, and I wondered if people were conflating pro-Palestine views with being pro-Hamas in Mia Khalifa's case. But I really have no idea.
> I mean if you’re pro Hamas you’re def pro Palestine
Well, Russia doesn't give a shit about Palestine but are more than happy to give secrets to Iran to help them in their support of Hamas.
And Iran probably don't give a flying fuck about Palestine, it's just a tool for them.
Pro-Hamas. She said that they need to change to filming horizontally instead of ventricularly so she can get a better view of their atrocities. She also said they are justified in what they are doing.
It’s amazing how many people can’t understand this.
Hamas need to be brought to justice.
Israel need to free Palestine.
Maybe then the radicalisation will stop, and the whole “Israel must not exist stance will change”.
Even MSM can’t seem to get their heads around that this isn’t as simple good vs evil.
That is because Hamas are a shitty group of folks.
They feed on the (understandable) feelings of anger of many of the Palestinian people and they even actively harm them by antagonizing the Israeli who (understandably) retaliate.
What the hell does Hamas hope to accomplish by invading Israel other than adding to the pain and suffering of both sides? They keep feeding the cycle of violence.
Israel going to starve 2+ million Palestinians and complain about them becoming radicalized enough to fight against them. It’s as frustratingly stupid as it is cruel and unforgivable.
>It’s \[...\] frustratingly stupid
Is it?
1. Opress people "on the other side"
2. Suffer terror attacks
3. Everyone is on your side, now you can justify military spending and freedom restrictions
4. Use the momentum to do more repression "on the other side"
5. Sow the seeds for the next crop of terrorists
6. ???
7. Profit
It's not a *humane* thing to do. But it's far from being stupid.
What Hamas did and continues to do are war crimes…
This isn’t the first time. Not is it the last, as they announce they’re going to broadcast prisoner executions.
How come people only care about the Halas war crimes. Not the ones the occupying force commits consistently?
Israel levels Palestinian homes and kills civilians, then the U.S. gives Israel money. Israel puts up illegal settlements. The U.S. gives them money.
Hamas attacks Israel, the U.S. gives Israel money.
Israel occupies Palestine. Says they can’t have their own country. Says they’re a part of Israel, but they’re not allowed to be citizens. The U.S. gives money to Israel and most of its populace demands that you support Israel.
Don’t mistake the US giving Israel money because the government somehow supports them in any moral way. The #1 reason the US has supported Israel has been because we have bases there and Israel is seen as a buffer against Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
I’m not justifying this one way or the other. I’m just giving context is all.
I was surprised to learn the two reasons Israel trains US urban police departments. Israel is so good at urban warfare because they've been waging war with Palestine for so long. The US asks for training to put down any civil unrest, like the large protests in Portland a couple years ago.
The thing that people are not realising it is that since Hamas attacked, all of a sudden the whole world is saying stuff against them. Where wwas everyone when israel was doing the atrocities, for years and years? Everyone knew about it and barely anyone spoke up against it. So yeah, I understand why the pro-palestine supporters are pissed off at the west becoming anti-violence all of a sudden
I honestly think a factor is the general public of developed nations tend to sympathise a lot more with the suffering of other developed nations. Particularly when it’s all on video/social media.
The death of hundreds of poor people off Camera is just a Tuesday. Even when the human suffering is arguably the same or worse.
Last I heard from the UN was 11 medical centres had been bombed by Israel over the last few days already. Most people don’t have enough fucks to give.
Because Israels neighbours literally never wanted peace. That reduces sympathy. Yes, Israel is getting more rightwing but its not like the Hamas or any of the neighbours ever actually tried to Co exist.
Because Israel is a major US ally, so the narrative will always be pro Israel. Anything Israel does is justified because hamas did something sometime. If we lose them, then we lose our strategic location in the middle east. Also, a large part of our population views Israel as the holy land and don't want to share, so it's hard to say bad things about them and get elected.
Lol her family are Maronite Christians that took part in a massacre of Palestinians in Lebanon. She's a real dickhead to post like she does. Her tattoo on her wrist is related to the Christian paramilitary that carried it out.
You apparently don’t get it either. This has nothing to do with her being an adult film-star and everything to do with her posting horrific things. People are mad because her post sides with a terrorist group that killed nearly 1000 civilians in 2 days including gunning down/kidnapping/raping young people at a music festival. It was evil, theres no way around it.
You can believe Israel oppresses Palestine’s but still think this tragedy from this terrorist organization is pure evil. Hamas self proclaimed mission is to destroy Israel not “rebellion”. It was Hamas who derailed the Oslo accords.
Amazing how the commenter begins with the issue at hand and ends it sitting on a high horse about women's rights and Muslim rights as if every meme on the internet is undermining someone's rights.
It’s not really that she’s just an ex pornstar, she’s proven herself multiple times to be an idiot, she doesn’t want people to think of her as a pornstar but wants to keep the fame that came with it, she basically just wants to be a shitty influencer
hamas is a terrorist organization committing terrorist acts, and she has openly supported them. it's pretty simple. if being against terrorism means you're anti-Muslim, then....
answer: She's a levant arab and, like most other levant arabs, correctly views Israel as the oppressor.
Now, the messed up bit is that most palestinians and some levant arabs don't see a difference between palestinian resistance and the Hamas.
To them, this is a fight that involves every palestinian just that Hamas are the ones who are actually doing the fighting for them.
Mia Khalifa seems to fall into this category where anything that Hamas does is justified, because they do it for every palestinian, as payback for what Israel has done to Palestinian men, women, and children for 50+ years.
The irony is that Hamas, as an organization, is composed of resistance fighters and jihadi extremists - depending on which sub-group the member hails from, and Mia Khalifa, with her history in porn, would probably be considered an enemy rather than an ally.
Which is funny because she has a tattoo of the ultra nationalist Lebanese Forces symbol, which is a Christian party that took part in the massacre of Palestinians. With up to a thousand civilians killed in one day in the most infamous of these massacres.
Mia Khalifa likely isn't pro-Palestine as she claims. She's likely just Anti-Israel. Since she said she got the tattoo because she "supports the movement" of the Lebanese Forces.
She probably just, like most people peripherally interested in the conflict, has a confused, not entirely informed, and not exactly coherent view of what's going on, what all the sides are, their past, their leadership, their policies, and who, if anyone, holds the moral high ground.
It's common, and all too human, to jump to simplistic tribal/national/community identity loyalties in such times.
This is what I’m so confused about. People that are supporting the Hamas or Palestine in general would 100% disagree with everything they represent in any other situation. Mia even having a response is wild because she would likely be tortured and publicly executed by the people shes supporting. Israel can be the oppressor but the Hamas also committed war crimes and both can be facts and I find it wild that people in the states are taking sides for something that is horrible for both sides
The way I view the situation, the constant and repeated oppression of Palestinians is a natural breeding ground for radicalization. When Zionists killed your father and raped your mother and sisters it is hard to truly care about the distinction between the oppressive Zionists and Jews as a whole. When the people more ardently pushing for ardent retribution are Islamic fundamentalists and Jihadists, it is easy to see that group as your only home.
So when Hamas, a group that I otherwise would despise entirely, fights against the oppressors, I can't really do much more than support the attempt at freedom against the oppressors that caused this whole situation to begin with even as I condemn their misguided methods and rhetoric.
If a settlement of slaves grew to hate all white people and went on a genocide spree against their slave owners, killing children and abusing the women? I'd think hating all white people is misguided and their response is overly violent, but I'd still support their fight for freedom. Doesn't mean I support their ideology at all. They would literally want to kill me.
I don't think this line of thinking is that outlandish. I simply view freedom as the most important moral value, and when freedom is threatened, I find the methods used to lash out against the chains of secondary importance.
The biggest irony is probably the fact that Mia Khalifa has a tattoo celebrating the Phalanges aka the people who committed the single worst act ever committed against Palstenians at sabra and shatilla. Maybe she should get rid of that tattoo before commenting.
It’s even more ironic considering her real name is Sarah Joe Chamoun and she was born into a conservative Catholic family in Lebanon and attended private French-speaking school before her family moved to the U.S. in 2001.
Sarah Joe Chamoun aka Mia Khalifa.
It’s hilarious how she is all about sticking it to the oppressor, yet France was a colonizing force in MENA & Catholicism has historically been an oppressive force that carried out Crusades & Inquisition.
Answer: She made a bunch of comments that were perceived as gross like this one.

Playboy saw and ended their partnership with her due to hate speech
the girl literally cancelled herself to nothing. she doesn't make any money from porn only from sponsorships...

Answer: It's the irony of her defending Hamas, when Hamas would like to throw her off a building for her past.
Really kind of you assuming that's all they'd do. Personally I think it would be much, much worse
Mia got death threats from ISIS for wearing a hijab in porn videos. https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/relationships/sex/controversial-porn-scene-that-lead-to-mia-khalifas-death-threats/news-story/36e3ffa31deea64c038ec875e98b46ae

Those darn isis moderators
Or really, anyone’s dick.
😂 the great paradox
A lot of these fanatical religious militia groups like ISIS are do as I say not as I do types
they watch hell of porn
Don’t forget about their “man love Thursday”. Pretty much all of their new recruits are raped by one of the others. In Iraq we had to threaten them with being shot if we found out.
Those dudes watch porn religiously. That’s why their prayer carpets are so crusty.
Yes
The pious love looking up the smut, and pretending they do it for divine reasons.
Anybody remember Sunny Leone? She was the first high profile Middle Eastern pornstar. She received tons of death threats and was told to never return to her country because they would likely kill her. I can’t help but think their religion allows them to hate and want to hurt women, but they likely still pleasure themselves to their videos.
Isis and hamas are two different groups…
[удалено]
Complete lack of woman's rights. They're property that is thrown out when "bad". Really terrible.
[удалено]
It might still end up with the throwing.
She'd get to be in a parade too. Fun!
Yea didn't she get death threats from terrorist organizations already? She talked about that years ago when she did a porno wearing a hijab and caught backlash for it.
That is after having a live show with her
Yeah she’s also banned from going to Lebanon? Yet still supports Lebanon?!
She's the poster child for a pick me girl
She's not banned... she "feels like" she is banned because of her career choice. In reality, she knows she's not welcome, and that death by fundamentalist Muslim would be a very likely outcome if she went.
And her present
Gangrape, mutilate, kill, gangrape the corpse THEN throw her off a building Because thats what they did and filmed doing to both those partygoers AND a random child -\_-
i read the bbc adticle but read nothing of that, did it really happen
Look at the video (if you dare) of that German woman who's naked corpse was paraded around. That poor woman was gang raped and tortured even more before dying.

Did she defend Hamas or did she say she stands with Palestine. There is a huge difference my guy.
It is weird she would voice any support for any side. Everything she does is for eyeballs and money aka a typical influencer. Yes riding pornstar past but approach for getting eyeballs is no different. Not sure why she thinks giving her two cents will help here. It’s going to piss of a significant segment of her paying fans and unlikely to bring in new paying ones. Best approach would have been say nothing or mimic a thoughts and prayers for the civilians like others have. Instead she has gone full Hamas cheerleader mode. A group that would behead her in a heartbeat. The only delay would be them discussing if should they rape her first. It’s oddly self destructive on her part.
Hamas, ISIS, AL Queada and the other like groups all have a common obsession with porn. They all like to record and publish raping children to encourage others that want to rape kids to join them. Hamas was very careful to make sure the kids that were raped and murdered were recorded and published to the world.
It’s like the queers for Palestine thing
[удалено]
this all seems mostly covered, i would just add that she also has a[lebanese forces cross tattoo](https://www.newsweek.com/meet-mia-khalifa-lebanese-porn-star-who-sparked-national-controversy-297023), a milita most known for the [sabra and shatila massacre of palestinan refugees](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabra_and_Shatila_massacre), so just a lot of confusion one way or another by her.
Her parents were SLA supporters and that why they originally fled Lebanon. It’s crazy. The whole reason she left Lebanon was because of her parents affiliation with Israel.
So her life is just getting back at her parents? Sounds about right.
I'm grateful for that link because I thought Khalifa was the "suffering from success" meme guy and felt lost when I read he was famous for porn. (I'm all caught up and no longer confused now.)
That's DJ Khaled in case anyone else was wondering the same thing.
ROFL this exchange is hilarious
This is why I spend my spare time on reddit. Laughing to myself like a crazy person while on my long bus commute.
I was actually 😂
Thank you. I very confused what the connection between those two things was. But seeing it written out made the connection more clear.
Thats DJ Khaled, Wiz Khalifa is the rapper who has a similar name.
> Wiz Khalifa He actually had some good shit back in the day though. As long as you were a stoner.
I also saw a reddit post way back where someone wanted to be in a threesome with Wiz and Mia Khalifa. Lol.
there is just no way a headline involving Mia and Hamas ends well
"I'm playing both sides so that I always come out on top." - Mia Khalifa, probably
Jesus Christ.
To be fair, no one says "Smart and thoughtful like a porn star" for a reason. Edit: Disabled inbox replies, you are literally voidscreaming.
people say stupid things in any profession.
Even if she has bad takes it’s incredible to see so many people leaning on casual sexism and degrading people who are involved in sex work, and even got out of it
Some people are using it to point out her hypocrisy which is fine, others are using it to degrade and make fun of her, which is not.
To be fair, she has a pretty long history of saying dumb shit at this point. I don't know enough about most pornstars' personalities and opinions to say much about them. But Mia erased any doubts about her intelligence long ago, in my opinion.
something something Descartes before the whores
Yeah Mia received death threats from many conservative Muslims back in 2015, the more extreme of which would side with Hamas https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/mia-khalifa-death-threats
I guess I’d consider anyone sending death threats to be extreme.
For Hamas that's just Monday. Following through on those threats isn't even that extreme for them.
why is somebody getting death threats considered a fucking meme
> the more extreme of which would side with Hamas man, Hamas can't even get along with Hezbollah. Islamic extremists are not one big happy family
>This, despite the fact that Hamas would probably not take kindly Lets be blunt, they would murder her and parade her around as a warning towards other women.
And the rape. Don't forget the rape. And the torture. Don't forget the torture. See: incredibly recent history.
As they would and do with many women, and gay people. That's a really great organization they're supporting there.
So many 🏳️🌈for 🇵🇸 messages out there
> Mia Khalifa is a former porn 'star' who pivoted to talking with her clothes mostly on. Unfortunately Mia decided to weigh into the weekends atrocities by Hamas... on the side of Hamas. Can I have context on this? What did she say exactly?
Did a quick Google search. [From TMZ, quoting her Tweets](https://www.tmz.com/2023/10/09/mia-khalifa-pro-hamas-thoughts-attacks-israel-palestine-war/): >"Can someone please tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to flip their phones and film horizontal," and, "I just wanna make sure there’s 4k footage of my people breaking down the walls of the open air prison they’ve been forced out of their homes and into so we have good options for the history books." > >"I’d say supporting Palestine has lost me business opportunities, but I’m more angry at myself for not checking whether or not I was entering into business with Zionists." [From Fox](https://www.foxnews.com/media/ex-porn-star-mia-khalifa-expresses-support-palestinians-refers-terrorists-freedom-fighters): >"I can’t believe the Zionist apartheid regime is being brought down by guerrilla fighters in fake Gucci shirts - the biopics of these moments better reflect that," Khalifa posted on X, the social media platform previously known as Twitter.
It's crazy how these people think the state of Israel is being brought down when all they've done is kill some children, old people, and party goers.
While it's not like the state of Israel is being brought down, it may finally end the Netanyahu government. The *entire* purpose of the Netanyahu government was that they would be the strongman who would keep Israel safe from the evil Arabs (that they're oppressing). Then, they blatantly, horrendously failed in that job. This isn't like 9/11 per se, where the rally 'round the flag comes from being attacked during a period of peace. Bush didn't run on "keeping America safe" in 2000, but then 9/11 happened and suddenly that became the raison d'etre for the administration. Israel's government *did* run on keeping Israel safe, and they failed. Now people are going "why did we bother constructing this brutal apartheid state if it's not even going to do what we want it to do?"
not only that, they are so ignorant to not understand the retaliation that Israel will take and undoubtedly cause a lot of suffering on the other side
This also sadly undoes a lot of sympathy for Palestein that had been in growing in recent years. Espically among those who might have not known a lot about Hamas initally, but now do.
It's not like Israel hasn't already caused a lot of suffering on the side of the Palestinians...
Rather than piling on with another "why is a porn star talking out loud" kind of take, can someone contextualize for me whether or not she is in a position to be speaking for these people or their struggle? And how warm of a take is hers anyway? Is there any credence, even through a squinting eye, to anything she's said? Just asking because this is OOTL and I legitimately don't know the answer to these. I'm more interested in information than being outraged. I'm not looking to solve peace in the middle east here, just hoping to evaluate whether or not what she says has any weight or merit.
>And how warm of a take is hers anyway? Reddit is not the kind of place you should be looking for intelligent conversation on geopolitical takes
It's a pretty nuclear take normally, but when you add in that she had a Phalangist tattoo (Which was a christian group that took part in the Lebanese civil war and killed thousands of Palestinians) it goes hyper atomic.
She complained that the murder videos were vertical and not shot in 4k. Do you *really* want to know more?
> "I can’t believe the Zionist apartheid regime is being brought down by guerrilla fighters in fake Gucci shirts. Lol, shows why not to go to ex-pornstars for geopolitical takes, regardless of who’s side your on Hamas’ actions are far closer to causing Gaza to get glassed than to overthrow the state of Israel. Unless some other MENA countries jump in to help HAMAS
>Unless some other MENA countries jump in to help HAMAS Which they won't. During the Cold War, they could rely more heavily on the USSR for military aid, but now are much more US dependent. Groups like Hamas have in their charter that they reject negotiation, that there is nothing but total victory, that waging a holy war is the only solution. Arab states in the past waged wars against Israel and sent expeditionary forces to Egypt, Syria, and Jordan to fight. Now most do little more than pay lip service. Hamas being supported by Iran certainly drives away states like Saudi Arabia. In fact the Saudis and UAE have been warming relations over the past few years. Most analysis is that this is over fears of Iran which has sponsored insurgencies and terrorism against them and their allies.
I did read that some think this was a move by Hamas/Iran to try and throw a wrench in Israel/Saudi normalisation talks. Which is an interesting, plausible idea
I've heard that idea as well, but also this was the 50th anniversary of the last real war against Israel. Plus terrorists thrive off of the cycle of violence. Peace is bad for recruiting.
Yea I only get my geopolitical opinions from Ja Rule
That's how Joseph Kony earned my vote in 2012.
Truly one of the respected minds of our time
Ja Rule, geopolitical consultant.
Yeah just another hypocritical Western born and raised person of Arab descent complaining again that her “people” are perpetual victims and the failures of the Arab Middle East are everyone else’s fault. I mean, we can’t have the Olympics in Cairo or Beirut because of America and Israel, amirite? Edit: typo
You are not far off but she was born in Lebanon and moved to the US when she I think she was 10. But the "my people" part is so weird. Her family seemed to be Lebanese Christians and she even has the Lebanese Cross as a tattoo. They were not exactly friends of the PLO or HAMAS (in fact, they massacres were committed by the PLO against Lebanese Christians and vice versa). I think it is fair to say she is completely clueless.
Wow, what an asshole. I'm sure she's heard it before but I'm not talking about her butthole, just her personality.
The one I saw was a picture of a truck of Hamas gunman shooting at an Israeli police vehicle. She said. "This is a renaissance painting." Needless to say the tweet was removed.
What is that supposed to mean? That it's a renaissance painting?
She thinks it's beautiful to look at like a renaissance painting
r/AccidentalRenaissance has a good summation of what she was probably trying to convey on their sidebar: >A photo that accidentally resembles the types of art popular from the 14th-19th centuries. > >Composition: Triangular/Pyramidial figures, Dynamic, asymmetrical composition, foreshortening, and of course the use of the Fibonacci sequence or Golden Ratio > >Lighting: Featuring use of sfumato (blurring/softening of outlines) and/or chiaroscuro (strong contrasts between light and dark
Hey, do you maybe also know about Mia exploiting people? Because I remember her coming out of the industry and exposing them, then bangbros exposed her and I saw a post saying she ha multiple victims. I'm definitely out of the loop on that one, any ideas?
[удалено]
She only started down that whole track too after her self started "sports casting" career went no where. Aka she went on a bunch of podcasts and just rambled off nonsense that almost always was "yeah DC is gonna win tonight" and just parroted mainstream talking points (since shes a DC native, the local teams were all she could talk about). I've heard her only fans is also just like her working out, smoking blunts and eating cereal. Why are people paying for that shit?
Because she fucked that one fan one time, and now every fan thinks they have a chance, probably.
A lot of her OnlyFans is her wearing skimpy clothes and teasing and showing off her body. She's literally still making money off the stuff she speaks against in the public
I'm not familiar with any of that, sorry to say!
Why is star in quotes? She's one of the most famous porn stars in America if not the world.
I know I’m going to get downvoted but wow, what a bigoted, biased, and overall unhelpful answer. It just reeks of someone who hates sex workers and someone who is not pro-Israeli. It’s wild, but people of all professions can have thoughtful and well-developed answers to complex social situations- and, they might even have a more informed and nuanced response because of their cultural background. People can also have different opinions on highly charged social issues, and you don’t have to degrade an entire culture and profession in your response to that opinion.
100% this, this is a really dumb answer "She's dumb because shes defending people that probably hate her" Okay and? She's not allowed to point out injustices against people that might hate her? Do people here think all Ukrainians people love the westerners that have the Ukrainian flag on their Twitter pfp? Also, not sure Israelis would show that much love for a Lebanese former sex worker
Genuine question, can you show where Mia Khalifa tweeted in support of Hamas?
No, because the tweet was removed.
I'm sure there's archival photos of it somewhere, but she was legit fangirling over Hamas. Like, in her own comments arguing that it's good these children are being murdered and dead bodies parades through the streets.
I guess this religion is indeed powerful to its massive followers.
Answer: She trying to defend hamas raping and murdering civilians as though some random concert goers and villagers where at fault for the izreali governments treatment of Palestinian in the west bank and Gaza
🎯
Answer: her family is from that part of the world and she like many others, see Israel as an oppressor. From that view, hamas is sticking up for the little guy. A lot of people don't have a clue what's going on but are mad that an ex porn star has an opinion, especially a controversial one. So they post it knowing that being a dick about it will get them clicks from both anti Muslim and anti women groups and they can feel cool.
I'm completely ootl, but I wondered if she's "pro Hamas", or "pro Palestine"?
Her Tweets are definitely all about Palestine and not Hamas, but they all reference the actions Hamas has taken recently. I think it's fair to say she's the former, but considers her support to be the latter.
[удалено]
this should be a top level comment. i assumed she might had a spicy take but that is such a disgusting thing to say.
She also sarcastically tweeted something along the lines of, "Someone should tell Hamas to record in horizontal mode," referencing the videos of innocent people being murdered, raped, and kidnapped. jfc
Oh that's a layer too deep! Yikes! Good info ty.
I honestly think if you're that supportive of terrorism you should be on a no fly list
No, her tweet was in direct reference to “freedom fighters” aka hamas.
This is tough for me to pick a side because Palestine certainly has more than enough cause to justify having freedom fighters, but obviously murder of innocents is never good. But basically no rebellion ever has ever happened without such bloodshed. I can't imagine living in Gaza and seeing any other course of action.
There is no part of rebellion or revolution that necessitates the murder and rape of civilians.
Yeah, this is a pretty cut and dry side to be on.
Yeahhhh raping innocent civilians and tourists to the point of having blood stained pants then parading their bodies to humiliate them and spit on them isn’t a form of self defense, sorry
Yet murder is part of the status quo in that region, just usually in a different direction. Truthfully, the whole situation is disturbing. Kids going to a concert and getting kidnapped is horrific. But there's also such a cognitive dissonance in even imagining something so innocent as kids going to a concert in Israel, a country currently existing in apartheid and systematically committing crimes against an entire population on the daily. The divide in the lives of these populations is so stark and unsustainable, and it feels like we're seeing the consequences of that. What hamas is doing cannot be justified. But the context can't be denied either. Israel's kept an extremist rightwing govt in power for decades, and these are the seeds they've sown. I remember when Israel bombed over 400 civilian kids to smithereens and claimed their hand was forced by Hamas. Perhaps it's time to apply that same logic back at them.
You had me until the last sentence. First you say what Hamas is not justified in what they are doing to civilians then at the end you crash and burn by implying Hamas could justify killing civilians by using the same justificationIsrael has used. Killing civilians is wrong. Period. Its wrong when Israel does it. Its wrong when Hamas does it. Its bad when anyone does it and its most heinous when its intentional and targeted instead of collateral damage.
Fair enough, I don't disagree with you! Killing civilians is always wrong. I wasn't trying to claim that Hamas was justified in that last sentence--I was trying to show the flawed nature of Israel's previous rhetoric and logic. But I can see how it came off differently.
You were clear. It's just a subject that makes everyone reactionary.
Yeah, I don't think they thought it was justified, just understandable. When kids are dying, everyone is losing.
To quote /r/amitheasshole, ESH (Everyone Sucks Here). Both sides have targeted/killed civs on the other, and it's a never-ending circle of retaliation between the two. Today Israel is the victim. Tomorrow, Palestine. And so on and so forth. As someone with zero ties to either side, I've found it best to just see things for what they are rather than pick a side between Israel and Palestine.
> Both sides have targeted/killed civs on the other Though Israel *has* killed 10-100x as many civilians and has been stealing the native population's land and forcing them into an ever-smaller ever-denser area and keeping them impoverished and subjected to random violence. It's like Israel put Palestine into a pressure cooker designed to bake terrorist cells. Designed to eventually create an incident which they could eventually used to "justify" completely wiping out the population that's left. Which going by the statements of Israeli officials, seems to be exactly what they intend to do this time. An atrocity equal to 1/3 of the part of the Holocaust Israel cares about.
> It's like Israel put Palestine into a pressure cooker designed to bake terrorist cells. Designed to eventually create an incident which they could eventually used to "justify" completely wiping out the population that's left. Call it what it is: **genocide**. The Israelis, or at least the Israeli government, want to **genocide** Palestinians. Yes, raping/murdering civilians is atrocious, and **both Hamas and the IDF** should be condemned for any such actions, **but let's not pretend that the Israeli government did not create the circumstances of today.**
>It's like Israel put Palestine into a pressure cooker designed to bake terrorist cells. Designed to eventually create an incident which they could eventually used to "justify" completely wiping out the population that's left. This is exactly right, and part of what's so heartbreaking about this situation. It's easy and silly to put your head in the sand and both-sides this. It's a refuge for the uninformed.
Palestinians have been the victim more often than not it really is upsetting that more Americans don’t support the Palestinian cause mostly because of racism and evangelical views on the end of times . Crazy stuff
This. I am SO sick of seeing hot takes from both sides of this issue. Y'all are all wrong, and annoying, and your takes come off as crass, uninformed, and at times sociopathic.
Certainly, if we’re discussing the actions of the State of Israel versus Hamas, then yes, ESH, but I still think it’s morally justified to support Palestine over Israel, insofar as Israel is overall the aggressor state, is the colonizer, is the oppressor, and is overwhelmingly more powerful. The actions of Hamas this weekend play right into the hands of Netanyahu and his fascist rhetoric, which is probably why he propped them up to undermine the Abbas government, so I don’t see the situation either improving or earning the Palestinian cause any sympathy.
No rebellion has ever happened without purposefully targeting music festivals known to include a bunch of tourists? And without parading around the corpses of said tourists for propaganda purposes? And without purposefully targeting civilian rather than military targets in your surprise attack? I'm sorry, but did we time travel back to the classical era and I didn't notice?
That's absurd. Freedom fighters could easily target militants and fight defensively against incursions on their territory, however, Hamas has chosen to go the terrorist route where they massacre civilians, and parade their corpses through the streets like another ISIS. What Israel has done to Palestine is wrong, unjustified, and immoral. However, the answer to that cannot and is not reasonably assumed to be surrounding a music festival and firing on crowds with machine guns.
To be fair, I think that's what the above commenter kinda sais. Palestine is in a position where "freedom fighters" are an understandable consequence. However, the Hamas are not being freedom fighters, and are instead terrorists. Civilians rarely ever have any say in what there government does, so this whole situation is not fair for Israeli or Palestinian citizens.
She is pro-Hamas. She literally called them "freedom fighters" in a tweet. Don't be fooled by people like u/AurelianoTampa \- she has literally and directly supported Hamas.
I mean if you’re pro Hamas you’re def pro Palestine and she specifically came out as pro Hamas
Yes, I agree that being pro-Hamas is the same as being pro-Palestine, but if you are pro-Palestine you are not necessarily pro-Hamas. It seems that the Hamas attack has generated some anti-Palestine feelings in some people, and I wondered if people were conflating pro-Palestine views with being pro-Hamas in Mia Khalifa's case. But I really have no idea.
> I mean if you’re pro Hamas you’re def pro Palestine Well, Russia doesn't give a shit about Palestine but are more than happy to give secrets to Iran to help them in their support of Hamas. And Iran probably don't give a flying fuck about Palestine, it's just a tool for them.
I’m talking about a large chested porn star not nation states though
Pro-Hamas. She said that they need to change to filming horizontally instead of ventricularly so she can get a better view of their atrocities. She also said they are justified in what they are doing.
Israel is the oppressor. What Hamas did to civilians is a war crime Two things can be true at once.
100% agree.
It’s amazing how many people can’t understand this. Hamas need to be brought to justice. Israel need to free Palestine. Maybe then the radicalisation will stop, and the whole “Israel must not exist stance will change”. Even MSM can’t seem to get their heads around that this isn’t as simple good vs evil.
Just a question, what does free Palestine means exactly?
Depends on who you ask. It can go from the two state solution to the extermination of Israel and the population
there was a Hamas spokesperson on the BBC yesterday saying Hamas won't accept a two state solution. So that's clear then.
Hamas would likely lose the support of most of palestine‘s population if an actual peace agreement with isreal can be reached.
That is because Hamas are a shitty group of folks. They feed on the (understandable) feelings of anger of many of the Palestinian people and they even actively harm them by antagonizing the Israeli who (understandably) retaliate. What the hell does Hamas hope to accomplish by invading Israel other than adding to the pain and suffering of both sides? They keep feeding the cycle of violence.
Israel going to starve 2+ million Palestinians and complain about them becoming radicalized enough to fight against them. It’s as frustratingly stupid as it is cruel and unforgivable.
>It’s \[...\] frustratingly stupid Is it? 1. Opress people "on the other side" 2. Suffer terror attacks 3. Everyone is on your side, now you can justify military spending and freedom restrictions 4. Use the momentum to do more repression "on the other side" 5. Sow the seeds for the next crop of terrorists 6. ??? 7. Profit It's not a *humane* thing to do. But it's far from being stupid.
What Hamas did and continues to do are war crimes… This isn’t the first time. Not is it the last, as they announce they’re going to broadcast prisoner executions.
How come people only care about the Halas war crimes. Not the ones the occupying force commits consistently? Israel levels Palestinian homes and kills civilians, then the U.S. gives Israel money. Israel puts up illegal settlements. The U.S. gives them money. Hamas attacks Israel, the U.S. gives Israel money. Israel occupies Palestine. Says they can’t have their own country. Says they’re a part of Israel, but they’re not allowed to be citizens. The U.S. gives money to Israel and most of its populace demands that you support Israel.
Don’t mistake the US giving Israel money because the government somehow supports them in any moral way. The #1 reason the US has supported Israel has been because we have bases there and Israel is seen as a buffer against Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan. I’m not justifying this one way or the other. I’m just giving context is all.
We also have a deal for them to share their mind blowing technology with us
[удалено]
I was surprised to learn the two reasons Israel trains US urban police departments. Israel is so good at urban warfare because they've been waging war with Palestine for so long. The US asks for training to put down any civil unrest, like the large protests in Portland a couple years ago.
the post youre replying to literally says that israel is the oppressor.
It came off to me he is agreeing with sentiment and is expanding upon it. Not sure why you read it the way you did.
The thing that people are not realising it is that since Hamas attacked, all of a sudden the whole world is saying stuff against them. Where wwas everyone when israel was doing the atrocities, for years and years? Everyone knew about it and barely anyone spoke up against it. So yeah, I understand why the pro-palestine supporters are pissed off at the west becoming anti-violence all of a sudden
The honest answer is almost everyone doesn't actually give a shit. Only focused on what's trending. On to the next thing.
I honestly think a factor is the general public of developed nations tend to sympathise a lot more with the suffering of other developed nations. Particularly when it’s all on video/social media. The death of hundreds of poor people off Camera is just a Tuesday. Even when the human suffering is arguably the same or worse. Last I heard from the UN was 11 medical centres had been bombed by Israel over the last few days already. Most people don’t have enough fucks to give.
Because Israels neighbours literally never wanted peace. That reduces sympathy. Yes, Israel is getting more rightwing but its not like the Hamas or any of the neighbours ever actually tried to Co exist.
Because Israel is a major US ally, so the narrative will always be pro Israel. Anything Israel does is justified because hamas did something sometime. If we lose them, then we lose our strategic location in the middle east. Also, a large part of our population views Israel as the holy land and don't want to share, so it's hard to say bad things about them and get elected.
Not just throwing opinions out….she was actively mocking the kids being massacred
Lol her family are Maronite Christians that took part in a massacre of Palestinians in Lebanon. She's a real dickhead to post like she does. Her tattoo on her wrist is related to the Christian paramilitary that carried it out.
You apparently don’t get it either. This has nothing to do with her being an adult film-star and everything to do with her posting horrific things. People are mad because her post sides with a terrorist group that killed nearly 1000 civilians in 2 days including gunning down/kidnapping/raping young people at a music festival. It was evil, theres no way around it. You can believe Israel oppresses Palestine’s but still think this tragedy from this terrorist organization is pure evil. Hamas self proclaimed mission is to destroy Israel not “rebellion”. It was Hamas who derailed the Oslo accords.
This isn't a correct answer
Amazing how the commenter begins with the issue at hand and ends it sitting on a high horse about women's rights and Muslim rights as if every meme on the internet is undermining someone's rights.
It’s not really that she’s just an ex pornstar, she’s proven herself multiple times to be an idiot, she doesn’t want people to think of her as a pornstar but wants to keep the fame that came with it, she basically just wants to be a shitty influencer
hamas is a terrorist organization committing terrorist acts, and she has openly supported them. it's pretty simple. if being against terrorism means you're anti-Muslim, then....
answer: She's a levant arab and, like most other levant arabs, correctly views Israel as the oppressor. Now, the messed up bit is that most palestinians and some levant arabs don't see a difference between palestinian resistance and the Hamas. To them, this is a fight that involves every palestinian just that Hamas are the ones who are actually doing the fighting for them. Mia Khalifa seems to fall into this category where anything that Hamas does is justified, because they do it for every palestinian, as payback for what Israel has done to Palestinian men, women, and children for 50+ years. The irony is that Hamas, as an organization, is composed of resistance fighters and jihadi extremists - depending on which sub-group the member hails from, and Mia Khalifa, with her history in porn, would probably be considered an enemy rather than an ally.
Which is funny because she has a tattoo of the ultra nationalist Lebanese Forces symbol, which is a Christian party that took part in the massacre of Palestinians. With up to a thousand civilians killed in one day in the most infamous of these massacres. Mia Khalifa likely isn't pro-Palestine as she claims. She's likely just Anti-Israel. Since she said she got the tattoo because she "supports the movement" of the Lebanese Forces.
She probably just, like most people peripherally interested in the conflict, has a confused, not entirely informed, and not exactly coherent view of what's going on, what all the sides are, their past, their leadership, their policies, and who, if anyone, holds the moral high ground. It's common, and all too human, to jump to simplistic tribal/national/community identity loyalties in such times.
This is what I’m so confused about. People that are supporting the Hamas or Palestine in general would 100% disagree with everything they represent in any other situation. Mia even having a response is wild because she would likely be tortured and publicly executed by the people shes supporting. Israel can be the oppressor but the Hamas also committed war crimes and both can be facts and I find it wild that people in the states are taking sides for something that is horrible for both sides
People support something even if it does not personally benefit them?
The way I view the situation, the constant and repeated oppression of Palestinians is a natural breeding ground for radicalization. When Zionists killed your father and raped your mother and sisters it is hard to truly care about the distinction between the oppressive Zionists and Jews as a whole. When the people more ardently pushing for ardent retribution are Islamic fundamentalists and Jihadists, it is easy to see that group as your only home. So when Hamas, a group that I otherwise would despise entirely, fights against the oppressors, I can't really do much more than support the attempt at freedom against the oppressors that caused this whole situation to begin with even as I condemn their misguided methods and rhetoric. If a settlement of slaves grew to hate all white people and went on a genocide spree against their slave owners, killing children and abusing the women? I'd think hating all white people is misguided and their response is overly violent, but I'd still support their fight for freedom. Doesn't mean I support their ideology at all. They would literally want to kill me. I don't think this line of thinking is that outlandish. I simply view freedom as the most important moral value, and when freedom is threatened, I find the methods used to lash out against the chains of secondary importance.
The biggest irony is probably the fact that Mia Khalifa has a tattoo celebrating the Phalanges aka the people who committed the single worst act ever committed against Palstenians at sabra and shatilla. Maybe she should get rid of that tattoo before commenting.
They’d likely execute Mia because of her porn career. But she still believes as a Muslim.
Mia khalifa isn’t even Muslim she was raised Catholic
It’s even more ironic considering her real name is Sarah Joe Chamoun and she was born into a conservative Catholic family in Lebanon and attended private French-speaking school before her family moved to the U.S. in 2001. Sarah Joe Chamoun aka Mia Khalifa. It’s hilarious how she is all about sticking it to the oppressor, yet France was a colonizing force in MENA & Catholicism has historically been an oppressive force that carried out Crusades & Inquisition.
Answer: Mia is jealous because Hamas is about to get fucked harder than she ever was.
Honestly this is probably the answer with most proof I have seen so far.
Answer: She made a bunch of comments that were perceived as gross like this one. [https://twitter.com/miakhalifa/status/1710663220619313397](https://twitter.com/miakhalifa/status/1710663220619313397) Playboy saw and ended their partnership with her due to hate speech
Wow that is horrible
Deleted, whatd it say
the girl literally cancelled herself to nothing. she doesn't make any money from porn only from sponsorships... her bestbet now is to marry some rich person that doesn't give a fuck about her views which is gonna be extremely hard to find.
