At least Hamas has the support of a porn star

The number of ignorant people out there supporting the terrorists of Hamas continues to amaze me. I don’t know anyone like that personally, but they seem to be flooding social media channels. Now we can add another one to the list. One person expressing “emphatic support” for Hamas is a porn star turned OnlyFans model named Mia Khalifa. She has reportedly been calling Israel “an apartheid state” for quite a while. And after they were invaded by Hamas, she was cheering on the terrorists. She even went so far as to tweet out a request to Hamas to “flip your phones horizontal” so she could more easily watch the attacks on the Israelis. What kind of human being says something like that while people are clearly being raped, kidnapped, and murdered by the hundreds? We can certainly have reasonable disagreements about Middle East foreign policy, but this is simply animalistic behavior. (NY Post)

Former porn star Mia Khalifa sparked outrage after emphatically expressing support for Hamas following its surprise attack on Israel — even urging members of the terrorist group to “flip their phones and film” their incursion on Israel “horizontal.”

The adult entertainer-turned-OnlyFans star, who has long called Israel an apartheid state, drew ire after posting a series of controversial tweets since Saturday’s surprise attack, which has claimed the lives of at least 800 Israelis.

“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,” Khalifa wrote on X on Saturday.

I’ll confess to never having heard of Ms. Khalifa prior to this, but she apparently has (or had) quite a following. I’ll also just issue a brief warning that if you go out and do an image search for her (as I did when preparing this article) you should probably check your browser settings first, particularly if you’re at work.

Her comments were heartless and horrendous, but it turns out that there can be consequences for anyone in this world, including OnlyFans stars. After her tweets went public, she was fired from her business relationship with a Canadian broadcaster. So she had apparently found someone who wasn’t put off by partnering with a porn star, but being a supporter of Islamic terrorists was a bridge too far. Good for them.

As to why Khalifa feels this way, the little bit of background information on her that I found might give us a clue. Apparently she was originally from Lebanon, though she has since managed to get herself banned from that country. So she’s probably more of a fan of Hezbollah, which is also attacking at the moment, than Israel. That’s rather ironic given the traits that Hezbollah and Hamas share in terms of women’s rights and propriety. If they saw any of the “work” that she produces online, they would probably throw her off the top of a building or worse.

The porn star actually referred to the Hamas terrorists as “freedom fighters.” She added that what we are seeing play out on the news is “what oppressed fighting the oppressor looks like.” I’m not suggesting that we’re dealing with any sort of a rocket scientist here, but actual freedom fighters tend to be those who rise up against oppression by their own government. They don’t invade other countries and commit mass rapes, kidnappings and murder. She’s a woman, as her previous work clearly displays. Where is her empathy for the women and children being systematically harmed by these “freedom fighters?”

The entire war thus far has been a horror show and it sounds like there is much more of it to come. The United States may wind up being directly involved. But it’s also bringing out the worst in our society on a regular basis, and that’s almost equally alarming. Call these people out. Name them and shame them. And when the dust eventually settles, demand more accountability from the Socialist Democrats in Congress who clearly harbor some of the same feelings.
