Mia Khalifa’s post on the attack on Israel has sparked a row
New Delhi: Mia Khalifa, a former adult film star, sparked debate with her remarks on X, formerly Twitter, on the recent Israel-Gaza conflict.
On Saturday, October 7, Khalifa tweeted, “Can someone please tell the Palestinian freedom fighters to flip their phones and film horizontally?”
Can someone please tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to flip their phones and film horizontal— Mia K. (@miakhalifa) October 7, 2023
The reaction to Khalifa’s post was mixed on social media. She was sacked from a commercial partnership with Canadian broadcaster and radio personality Todd Shapiro as a result.
Shapiro announced Mia Khalifa’s sudden termination from their relationship as he was about to finalize a deal with her.
“Mia Khalifa, this is the most horrible tweet ever. Consider yourself dismissed with immediate effect. Simply repugnant. beyond repulsive. Please advance and improve as a person. It is extremely disgusting that you support murder, rape, beatings, and hostage-taking. Your ignorance cannot be expressed in words. People need to work together, especially when tragedy strikes. I ask God to help you grow as a person. However, it appears that it is now too late for you. MrShapiro wrote.
In response to the news, Ms. Khalifa stated, “I’d say supporting Palestine has cost me commercial prospects, but I’m more furious at myself for failing to research any potential business partners before doing so. My bad
In a post, she also provided clarification for her contentious and ostensibly “horrendous tweet,” writing, “I just want to make it clear that this statement in no way shape or form is enticing spread of violence, I specifically said freedom fighters because that’s what the Palestinian citizens are… fighting for freedom every day.”

Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, has sent Hamas a severe warning. Israel has declared war. We were against this war. It was imposed upon us in the cruelest manner possible. Israel will end this conflict, despite the fact that it wasn’t started by Israel, he asserted.
