This post on her part was fine, but the other one…not so much. She should have stuck with this one only, rather than whatever the frick murderous thing that other post was.
Is there a quote for the other post? I heard it was just paraphrased, so we don’t know what she actually said
It’s like she didn’t realize her CEO was Jewish
Not all jews are zionists and implying so is antisemitic. It’s the same old “dual-loyalty” smear levied against jews for hundreds of years.

That’s the problem with a lot of the pro Palestine movement, they just can’t help themselves and can’t just stop at demanding rights, but wanting the rights of others removed as well. Western nations just aren’t going up empathize with you if you’re murdering and parading women’s corpses around, or if you’re threatening to kill hostages, many of which are children. As much as you may not like it, there’s a difference optically between dropping a bomb and putting a gun to a child’s head and pulling the trigger cause you didn’t get your way.
All i get from this post is “genocides fine, its the other stuff we dont like”
Quite easy to critique a movement you know nothing about I guess.
Poor take
they just can’t help themselves … wanting the rights of others removed
This seems so familiar but I can’t quite put my finger on it…
The irony is so thick, Israel could build a wall around the West Bank with it.

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?

Can someone please tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to flip their phones and film horizontal— Mia K. (@miakhalifa) October 7, 2023Hmm. That’s actually not that bad.
It’s nice to see original sources for things. Everyone likes to twist and distort reality to support their agenda.
Who are the Palestinian freedom fighters she’s referring to?
Edit: She clarifies she means the civilians. It’s an awful choice of wording, but I can give her the benefit of the doubt.
Good ol’ Dubya set the stage for this 20 years ago. Yer either fer us or yer agin us. Either you support every thing we do without question or you support terrorism.

These comments are full of people spreading objectively false narrative. It’s concerning. Are people in Lemmy intentionally spreading misinformation or do they think what they’re saying is true? Either way, it’s concerning.
Lemmy is not so bad actually. It’s Reddit that is scary. You have people calling for genocide being upvoted to the sky consistently. If someone denounces the violent speech and dehumanization, hell even just asking for some cool heads, they’re downvoted to oblivion.
That is enough of a sin though
you mean another Western sanctioned genocide?
China with Uyghurs has been going on for a while with no response from the west.
Saudi Arabia, UAE etc wih Yemen, the weapons were sold for ot by the west.
There’s a difference between just looking the other way and actively endorsing it.
The West is 100% backing Israel and they’re not letting this chance go. Palestininans are going to be killed and deported, including Israeli Arabs. I call it. Something will happen in the West Bank soon or even in Israel itself and then Israel will come up with its own “final solution”. We’ll definitely see mass expulsions. The propaganda machine is already clearing the road ahead.
And when we see what we were actually endorsing we’ll try to take back our support but it’ll be too late. Their blood will be in our hands.
There’s a difference between just looking the other way and actively endorsing it.
let’s agree to disagree. I unfortunately have this nice example from history where they looked he other way, until they couldn’t.
maybe you have heard of it it’s like one of those rare sequels that’s a bigger box office hot than the first installments WW something
Isn’t she the pornstar that tried desperately not to be called that and to have that stuff forgotten? Why was she at playboy anyway?
She’s flip-flopped multiple times on it. She’s happy to be referred to as a (former) porn star when it financially benefits her.
She was doing a podcast for Playboy.
Lol of course she was.
So your job is to be a sexy liberal Arab but not, like, too liberal or too Arab.
And definitely not praising the people who just went through a music festival with guns and indiscriminately killed people and dragged off other ones.
A woman whose husband is missing was being interviewed. She said that whenever her baby would cry in their hiding place, bullets would fly through the wall of the shed where they were hiding.
Why anyone would have praise for that organization I cannot fathom.
Good thing she didn’t actually praise anyone who just went through a music festival with guns. But nice job making that assumption instead of actually reading the quote.
Her comment suggests the videos of interest are being filmed by the freedom fighters.
I am unaware of any armed Palestinian group which fights the Israeli government for their independence. Who is the only other group that someone could (somehow) construe as freedom fighters that’s taking videos?
Unless she’s calling the Israeli army freedom fighters and they have people filming in their midst, there’s only one group she can be talking about, and they went through a music festival with guns.
Don’t stop at just reading the comment. Comprehend it. Analyze it.
Edit: And that includes your own comments. There are indeed other groups involved which aren’t Hamas, and she was referring to civilians. Incredibly poor wording if she’s telling the truth, but I see no reason to not give her that benefit of the doubt.
So instead of responding to my actual point, you went on this lengthy rant. K.
The edit was me eating crow and saying she should get the benefit of the doubt.
Politics is kind of fucked
What did she say? I don’t want news to tell me how to feel.
She said that the execution and murder videos would have been better viewing if they had flipped their phones horizontally.
I mean that’s incredibly poor taste and way out of line, but I wouldn’t call that “pro-hamas” or deserving of being fired.
Some people take the portrait vs. landscape argument way to seriously.
There is no extreme too extreme in the war against the verticles.
And we still haven’t made a phone that does landscape video while held vertically.

Article says she said more, but doesn’t detail what it was.
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.
how anyone can say that after seeing what they did to Shani Louk and all the others is a mystery to me.
This is absolutely inexcusable Behaviour and she should feel Consequences for it.
I thought you were joking at first. In what universe could this be considered supporting them?
How else do you interpret that statement?
Dark humour.
Consider the following fictional situation:
A news story comes out detailing a terrible tragedy where some people were stuck in a collapsed mine for months and that they had to eat one of their dead to survive. A horrible situation by all accounts. One of the miners is later interviewed and they mention how bad it was to have to eat someone. Someone then posts online saying this: “Next time it won’t taste so bad if you add some salt and pepper.”Is the person who made the post condoning cannibalism? Of course not. Was the comment in poor taste? Absolutely. (Pun not intended)
maybe the “film horizontally” part.
but the “Freedom Fighters” Part is a clear Endorsement from her.
“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.
I was only referring to the “film horizontally” part, which is what the original comment (that I thought was a joke) was referring to.
right, but that’s not what was bad about what she said. You can’t just Cherry-Pick what you like and leave out what you don’t.

I don’t know if I can jerk off to her in good conscious anymore.
Ill never enjoy jerking off to her again. From now on, Ill only be angry and disappointed while jerking off to her.
The hijab thing got a whole new dimension
Were they pro-Hamas or pro-Palestine?
Pro Hamas. Right after the latest gruesome terror attacks, she called the terrorists of Hamas “Palestine freedom fighters” and proclaimed that actions by Palestinians were always justified, thereby expressing her support for Hamas and their terror attacks.
Well to be fully honest, freedom fighters and terrorists are the same thing, just from two perspectives. The average afghani villager probably won’t consider their current government terrorists, even if a large part of the western world does.
One man’s terrrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.
An example of what you’re saying is the pkk in Turkey. Turkey calls them terrorists, while a lot of people still view them as a party fighting for freedom. But the pkk and it’s armed wing have never committed indiscriminate mass massacres of civilians. The endgoal of the pkk is also not the total destruction of the Turks, but rather the self determination of the Kurds.
Hamas on the other hand has as endgame the total genocide of Jews and has no qualms in indiscriminately massacring civilians.
About Hamas there is no nuance: they are genocidal terrorists.
There is no proof Palestinian fighters ‘beheaded’ babies. The only source is a radical settler.
Please be very careful. We don’t really know what the truth is but this story may be a part of disinformation effort used right now to justify military action against civilians.
Ty, I’ll edit my comment.
Yes, those freedom fighters bravely raped and murdered a music festival full of people for the glory of Palestinian freedom.
Hamas are Terrorist. They don’t fight for freedom they fight for Terror.
I just took a look at the pinned article but didn’t see any pro Hamas tweets, just anti-zionist and pro Palestinian.

The posts were in the article I linked + the one above (might be the same one, I just googled another one that has the quotes - I’m on mobile, don’t expect too much ;)). She is not using the name of Hamas, but she is calling them "Palestinian freedom fighters. **It is by the timing that we know that she was talking about Hamas. **
She made those posts shortly after the attacks, when social media was being filled with footage of Hamas. Hamas fighters post videos in portrait format of them gunning down civilians, Mia Khalifa posts shortly after and asks the “Palestinian freedom fighters” for videos in landscape format. So she called the terrorists who were indiscriminately killing civilians, freedom fighters, thereby tacitly supporting their actions. Strike 1.
In a second follow up post, she states that one should always be on the side of Palestinians, implying that in her eyes the atrocities that were committed just hours before, were justified because they were committed by Palestinians. No nuance, exceptions or caveats, for her, anything done in the name of Palestinians against Israël is apparently justified, no matter how heinous. Strike 2.
A 3rd post was about Palestinians tearing down their prison walls, which mostly just went to show how incredibly stupid and ignorant this woman is. It’s possible that she misunderstood the situation and thought that those terror attacks were the start of a bigger offensive with the aim of ending Palestine oppression.
There are plenty of people who support fully liberating the west bank without applauding terror attacks against civilians, but she chose to start applauding right after the images of the terror attacks hit the media. It’s only much later that she started retracting her statements and proclaiming that she wasn’t talking about Hamas.
Ahhh yeah, I missed that deleted one.
Pro-Palestine. One of her posts was ambiguous - "Can someone please tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to flip their phones and film horizontal.”
The media propaganda machine was more than happy to pretend that was directed to Hamas, and then went on to fabricate that it was in reference to civilian executions, but it’s all 100% bullshit.
If at a time when terrorists of Hamas are releasing a ton videos of their terror attacks, you say "Can someone please tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to flip their phones and film horizontal.”, then you are calling those terrorists freedom fighters. And if you call terrorists freedom fighters, then you are tacitly supporting those terrorists and their acts of terror. Especially if you do this right after one of the most brutal attacks against civilians that we have seen in the last few years.
You can assume that’s what she meant, but you don’t actually know that - you’re just putting words into someone’s mouth. She even clarified later that’s exactly what she DIDN’T mean. This is also a time when Israel is bombing largely defenseless citizens. If you’re going to make assumptions about the intent of a statement, it’s also valid to assume she’s referring to this.
Not every Palestinian is a member or supporter of Hamas, and not every person who fights for the freedom of the Palestinians is a member or supporter of Hamas.
Since she was joking about civilians executions, I think they were pro go fuck yourself mia
Anyone that gets their geopolitical opinions from a pornstar has some serious self reflecting to do. Firing her, or leaving her employeed, will make little difference in the world.
I don’t think this was about her opinions as much as it was about here shitty taste of humor.
Since she was joking about civilians executions…
Except she wasn’t. That’s the line the media is pushing but, if you actually read what she wrote -
“Can someone please tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to flip their phones and film horizontal.”
there’s no reference, direct or inferred, to Hamas or civilian executions. The propaganda machine is working overtime.
If the 'freedom fighters" aren’t hamas, then who was she talking about?
Any of the civilians in the Gaza prison camp that documents the situation could be reasonably called a freedom fighter.
Are they taking vertical video?
Here’s an article that slightly better explains the situation.
She wrote…
“I just want to make it clear that this statement in no way shape or form is enticing spread of violence, I specifically said freedom fighters because that’s what the Palestinian citizens are… fighting for freedom every day.”
When referring to execution videos then yes, you’re a dick when saying that.
I’ll never understand why people like you seem to practically fall over themselves, making things up to justify being upset at situations. You’re all bizarre.

The problem with “taking in” the Palestinians, is that it actively helps Israel’s ethnic cleansing efforts and theft of land/property. Israel has stolen peoples homes, land, and livelihoods, and has been doing such since 1947.
You have to be careful with that sort of thing. Also, there are a fuckload of Palestinians, Most countries are not setup to absorb millions of extra citizens.
Even so, a lot of Palestinians have left the country over the decades, and have ended up in those same Arab nations you claim won’t take them. The Arab nations just can’t take millions at once.
Solution: Everyone has to leave. Israel becomes a wildlife preserve/world heritage site. Nobody but staff visits for a hundred years.

We have the technology to make a hologram of God, or to perform a fake miracle of some kind.

Make a fake miracle happen in Israel/Gaza where lots of Israelis and Palestinians can see it.
-
Get a bunch of Palestinians and Israelis to convert to a new peaceful religion where the only way to go to heaven is to treat everyone like you would treat your family, with love and respect. It would have to be a straightforward religion without all the mumbo jumbo left up for interpretation.

Pizza party?

Yeah, I don’t want people treating each other the way my family treats each other…
Haha, fair point. That may not be the best example of a respectful relationship for everyone.

Gaza is extremely over populated and is inhabitated almost exclusively by Palestinians. Taking some of them (those who want) would not contribute to cleansing in any meaningful way. The truth is that Muslim countries don’t really care about the Palestinians other than using them as a political tool.
There are living 2 million people in gaza. Germany has currently 1 million Ukrainian refugees and poland also another million. So it is not like it would be impossible for the arab countries to absorb them.
I’m with you though when it comes to your point that they do not want to give up their presence as a thorn in Israel’s expansion. They (the Muslim Arab world) would never again gain a better bargain against Israel. Giving them the land would be a victory for Israel that would hang like a shadow over their history for centuries - or so they see it. The Arab world can (from a religious standpoint) never accept the jewish nation invading their sphere. If it were not for Israel, the Middle East would have formed a strong combined player in the geopolitical game. For some moments in the early 1900s it almost looked like syria were able to unite the Arab world to transform it into a single voice sitting in between asia and Europe. But external forces and internal ethnic differences and in the end the Israel state made it permanently impossible for the region to unite. The fallout is what we see today. If it were not for the religious aspect and the Arab world would have given Israel „its land“, it might would have even started relations with each others by now in economy and technology, being a vital partner in developing the Middle East. But both the arab world and Israel are the religious bigots that they are and that is hindering the evolutionary development in their own interest.
I I think the west knew how much the Arab world would chew on this for the next century when they bid to put Israel in that area. The power move by the Arab world would have been to accept it and create political relations with it to profit from this strong economic player. But some in the west knew that this would be impossible for them because of their deeply religious rooted society. It will keep the Middle East out of the game for another better half of half century. To profit from Israel would mean for the Arab world to transform their nations from a theocracy to a modern national state, where not religious doctrines are used to narrate to their people for control. But the people in power need the theocratic narration to stay in power. A strong Middle East would have been a United Middle East (Syria 1900s), where a national state is put above the theocratic narration to keep control of the people while benefiting hugely from trade and technology as religious differences is not hindering talks with one another anymore (Inside and outside). Israel would have never happen to a United Middle East and now they can never change because the differences is absorbed into their theocratic narration. They are locked into a limbo of not being able to progress - all because Israel.
I don’t think that’s the case - if it was the plan, why would the British have tried to block immigrants from reaching Palestine?
https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/exodus-1947
Yeah it is weird that your link is not providing any information about why they did it. I would say the Wikipedia has a better text about it, while also not going to deep:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Exodus
Your first have to understand the territorial occupations at the time of 1946 and who was invested in the region. After the ottoman empire fell Britain gained foot in the area of palestine around 1919. It was only possible by a coalition with the Arab neighbors in the region that were more fond of the british than the ottoman disarray.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandatory_Palestine
After WW2, Britain had a big interest in keeping this area in control and not further develop conflicts in the area by the refugee of jewish people coming from the european camps, that would clash with the coalition partners from the arab countries in the region. The efforts made to create a jewish state was mostly driven by the US, and not britain:
In 1947, the UN adopted a partition plan for a two-state solution in the remaining territory of the mandate. The plan was accepted by the Jewish leadership but rejected by the Arab leaders, and Britain refused to implement the plan. On the eve of final British withdrawal, the Jewish Agency for Israel, headed by David Ben-Gurion, declared the establishment of the State of Israel according to the proposed UN plan.
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Palestine)
You can see how britain lost control of the whole region the moment they gave in. Up until this moment they were still hoping to keep the jews out and keep the control of the country. That is the reason they blocked the Exodus. There is also a good take on the SS Exodus Article on britains stance until the caved into the UN Mandate:
Britain’s position was summed up by John Coulson, a diplomat at the British Embassy in Paris, in a message to the Foreign Office in London in August 1947: “You will realize that an announcement of decision to send immigrants back to Germany will produce violent hostile outburst in the press. … Our opponents in France, and I dare say in other countries, have made great play with the fact that these immigrants were being kept behind barbed wire, in concentration camps and guarded by Germans.”[56] Coulson advised that Britain apply as best they could a counter-spin to the story: “If we decide it is convenient not to keep them in camps any longer, I suggest that we should make some play that we are releasing them from all restraint of this kind in accordance with their wishes and that they were only put in such accommodation for the preliminary necessities of screening and maintenance.”[57] The mission of bringing the Jewish refugees of Exodus 1947 back to Germany was known in diplomatic and military circles as “Operation Oasis.”[55]

When you say “either”, are you referring to yourself as the first person who doesn’t care about Palestinians?
