    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

      Israel has been killing civilians for years and have racked up a far higher body count. Are they living their lives peacefully?

      Hamas has done awful things, but that doesn’t mean Israel is good.

        Before this happened, violenc between settlers in the Westbank and native Palestinians had tripled compared to 2022, to 3 per day, while the world news cycles were preoccupied with Ukraine.

          Are you talking about settlers that have for decades stolen the Palestinians ancestral homes? Kicked them out of the house they were born in without any compensation. If that happened to me in my home I would too go radical cause at that point diplomacy has failed.

      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.”

        It was still a bad post, at least based on how it reads to the average unknowing person.

          Yeah, it was worded imprecisely enough to make misinterpretation possible, which is always a bad move when discussing contentious issues no matter your intention.

          Definitely wasn’t bad enough that she deserved being immediately fired, cancelled and defamed as a terrorism sympathiser, though.

        lol I have no skin in the game, being atheist and not jew, and not from US neither

        If you believe that announcing “I support Palestine!!” right after Hamas fuckers killed a thousand of civilians would be a great idea, you are delusional
