What a shit article. All she did was support the Palestinian cause and now they're putting shit in her mouth (no pun intended).

I don't like how the narrative is being forced in this conflict. They are clearing the way for something very sinister. We're about to witness a western sanctioned genocide. There's no way Israel is letting this opportunity go.

Something is going to happen soon in the West Bank too, I call it.

Look man, you can support Palestine, but telling the soldiers to turn their phones horizontally for better execution videos of civilians is a bit much.

Is that what she said?

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

She did, but she removed it https://twitter.com/miakhalifa/status/1710663220619313397

Can someone please tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to flip their phones and film horizontal

So... she didn't say that. Those words are very different.

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well, that's your choice to side with her on that. A lot of people are interpreting it as 1) a terrible time to try to be funny and 2) can easily be interpreted as support for Hamas, until she got a ton of backlash and it started to cost her money and then she 'totes didn't mean it that way, just a prank, for realz!'

Some people have zero sense of context, it's laughable lol

Shouting "I support Gaza !!" on every roof RIGHT NOW, has exactly the opposite effect

I too support civilians living their lives peacefully, but we are talking about terrorists here

Ironic that you would talk about zero sense of context when siding with the people ignoring crucial context.

Mia Khalifa was NOT talking about terrorists. She was talking about the oppressed people of Palestine who film the atrocities of the Israeli apartheid government. She didn’t mention Hamas and since they're not usually the ones filming THEIR atrocities, it's clear that she wasn't referring to them either. Especially when you add her own clarification to the equation:

I just want to make it clear that this statement in no way shape or form is [inciting] spread of violence," she said. "I specifically said freedom fighters because that's what the Palestinian citizens are... fighting for freedom every day."

[–] kSPvhmTOlwvMd7Y7E@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

She could have just started with "My heart goes to Israeli victims" or stuff like that, before tagging "Free Palestine" at the end. That would fly without a hurdle.

[–] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So she's not allowed to express solidarity with the Palestinian victims of Israeli oppression without also mentioning the Israeli victims of Hamas terrorism?

Are people not allowed to express solidarity with Israeli victims without also mentioning Palestinian victims either?

[–] kSPvhmTOlwvMd7Y7E@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Did I ever mentionned "not allowed"? I said mentionning killer's family on a victim's funeral is A LITTLE un-diplomatic sir

[–] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Except that's not in any way close to analogous to the situation.

[–] kSPvhmTOlwvMd7Y7E@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

well, that's totally how many people see it. That's a fact.

[–] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It might be a fact that many people see it that way, but that would just mean that many people are wrong. Many people believe all sorts of ridiculous lies and distortions of reality.

[–] kSPvhmTOlwvMd7Y7E@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

¯_(ツ)_/¯ You don't provide compelling arguments neither, you just say "You are wrong, I am right"

I only point out that it was pretty bold tweet given the circumstances
