    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.”

        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.

          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?

                  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.

                    ¯_(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
