Jesus fucking shit... a Palestinian speaking for Palestine gets canceled by playboy.
Obviously if she supported Hamas i might be ok with that. But her comments were in support of Palestine, not hamas, and she herself **is a Palestinian**...
For the record these are the comments she made that playboy directly mentioned were the reason for dropping her:
“If you can look at the situation in Palestine and not be on the side of Palestinians, then you are on the wrong side of apartheid and history will show that in time.”
“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.”
“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 that write about how how they freed themselves from apartheid.”
This was playboys official statement in response as to why they canceled her:
“We are writing today to let you know of our decision to terminate Playboy’s relationship with Mia Khalifa, including deleting Mia’s Playboy channel on our creator platform,” the company wrote in a message to users (via Daily Mail). “Over the past few days, Mia has made disgusting and reprehensible comments celebrating Hamas’ attacks on Israel and the murder of innocent men, women and children. At Playboy, we encourage free expression and constructive political debate, but we have a zero tolerance policy for hate speech. We expect Mia to understand that her words and actions have consequences.”
#Israel #Palestine $Hamas #Playboy
Obviously if she supported Hamas i might be ok with that.
…she was literally cheering on #Hamas and asking them to release higher quality footage of their attacks on civilians.
That said…IDK man I don’t like punishing people for opinions, but supporting terrorism is pretty bad…Maybe I should file it under the same take I had when #ye got cut from all his business deals…it is what it is, and he should have done business with people who would stand by him no matter what he said. Which interestingly enough was #MiaKhalifa’s take too, once she got let go from another company.
> …she was literally cheering on #Hamas and asking them to release higher quality footage of their attacks on civilians.
No this was during the riot from palestinians, not the hamas attacks itself.
Remember first the citizens rose up and rioted. During the riot hamas placed bombs along the wall. The bombs went off and hamas and palestianians flooded into israel
The act of bombing the walls to their prison and escaping is perfectly ok to cheer on.. It would only be if sheered on the attacks of the hamas (which as far as I can tell she did not) that it wold be an issue.
@freemo Lol what?
Hold on. How much did you read about this situation? Where are you getting your information from?
Im getting my info largely from israeli news and videos as my israeli friends are sending it to me... Thats what they described and showed me. What part do you disagree with?
@freemo I disagree that she wasn’t talking about #Hamas, because she was.
When the situation started, the first thing she did on #X / #Twitter was root for #Palestine. Not the worst thing in the world to post, but the second thing she did was boost a tweet/xeet that downplayed the paragliding attack on the #EDM festival in #Israel. On #Instagram she also explicitly downplayed #Hamas as a group, calling them mere “resistance”. So when she talks later about “resistance”, it’s safe to say she’s not merely talking about responses to #Israel’s actions, but #Hamas’ provocations as well.
@realcaseyrollins By the way her videos is exactly correct... There is no histoical record of any country named israel before the 40's... hamas and terrorism largely arose as a direct result of Israel's invading prior to that there was plenty of confllict and war, but the vast majority of the modern day radicalization was the result of israel and its actions over 80 years.
> There is no histoical record of any country named israel before the 40's.
This is trivially false as a factual matter, but even if it were true what is the upshot?
Waves of immigration (not an "invasion", that feels like xenophobes today calling central American refugees to the US an "invasion") and poor governance by the British predictably caused tension and violence. (IIUC most of the violence was directed against Jewish communities in those days, ~100 years ago?) But why does any of that matter wrt. this question? It's not like that history justifies any violence or injustices today, surely.
Her video is an inane response to a claim someone made(?) that Hamas is responsible for <something>? Sure: this violence had been going on for at least 80 years before Hamas was founded, great point Mia, thanks for your helpful history lesson.
@ech im re reading the source i original got this from (that israel never existed)... it seems i misread.. what it was saying is israel was likely far less expansive as it suggests in the bible as early on as it was... but I think I misread and it is claiming there was an israel, it just formed much later and was much much smaller than biblical accounts.
