Wtf Mia khalifa has loudly supported Palatine and specifically refers to Hamas as freedom fighters.

"supporting Palestine has lost me business opportunities, but I'm more angry at myself for not checking whether or not I was entering into business with Zionists. My bad"

USAID isn't funding dipshits like him anymore, which means he was always doing this shit for free.

Why does Mia Khalifa cause so much rage among weirdos on the Internet? All I know about her is that she used to do porn, now she doesn't.

I would assume the sex positivity and having opinions that don't align with the state department makes them absolutely frothy.

Her politics paired with her being rather outspoken against the porn industry. They then find the handful of faux pas she's made and laser in on them with a vengeance.

So he tried digging this up to (I assume) Imply she doesn't really care about Palestine ignoring that even if she did own this tattoo ( a big if) that seeing a holocaust unfold before her eyes could get her to genuinely rethink things and instantly ate shit? total-misplay

IIRC during the 2019 protests I saw a screenshot of her Instagram where she clearly showed her LF struck Cross tattoo with a caption like “can anyone help me cover this shit up”.

I am not familiar with her politics or her work (or the Instagram platform or tattoos in general), but it’s more than likely that she had that tattoo done without knowing too much about the symbol’s history. She’s in the diaspora and from the postwar generation, so there’s some distance between her and the reality of the symbol.

I’m used to seeing it pop up on walls in poor Christian neighborhoods every time there’s a particularly sectarian mini civil war one-off. And in a few family group chats, unfortunately.

Symbolism is a powerful thing. The struck cross does give me a bit of a hollow oomph, to be completely honest, a symbol of some sort of Christian fighting spirit to stay alive. But I don’t fundamentally believe in a zero sum system, I don’t believe the non Christians are going to murder and eat me, hell, I don’t believe we aren’t still the hegemonic plurality in our sectarian hell system. It’s a symbol borne by people who murdered civilians in their home in 1982 and still feel proud of it in 2025. Especially Palestinian civilians. They even carved these crosses into the chests of a few of their victims. I don’t think she is likely to have supported all of that, again, but it is relevant to the conversation.

Edit:

Found it

Remember when his dad yelled at him about getting a job on stream and he said I do I protest china or w/e? classic

I really think a part of the dysfunction of our modern society is getting "owned" doesn't really carry that much consequence anymore. You can do the dumbest shit ever and everyone forgets about it in a week, especially your own fans. Unlike in the past where wildly successful people could have their reputations destroyed by one court case not going their way. Yeah there's always been charlatans and hucksters but it seems like contrary to intuition they actually get away with more due to mass communication and social media.
