What a shit article. All she did was support the Palestinian cause and now they're putting shit in her mouth (no pun intended).

I don't like how the narrative is being forced in this conflict. They are clearing the way for something very sinister. We're about to witness a western sanctioned genocide. There's no way Israel is letting this opportunity go.

Something is going to happen soon in the West Bank too, I call it.

you mean another Western sanctioned genocide?

China with Uyghurs has been going on for a while with no response from the west.

Saudi Arabia, UAE etc wih Yemen, the weapons were sold for ot by the west.

I'm not sure how you consider the Uyghurs a western sanctioned genocide, if anything it's only the western media that is drawing any attention to it whatsoever.

no sactions though, are there?

So... The west is the only one who gives a damn, but somehow it's their fault because they're not doing enough?

does the west give a damn though?

media reporting it I don't really qualify as giving a damn.

I would also wager that if I go out on the street here in slovakia and start asking people about it most people would look at me like an idiot and say, WTF is "Uyghurs"?

Look man, you can support Palestine, but telling the soldiers to turn their phones horizontally for better execution videos of civilians is a bit much.

She did, but she removed it https://twitter.com/miakhalifa/status/1710663220619313397

Can someone please tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to flip their phones and film horizontal

So... she didn't say that. Those words are very different.

Well, that's your choice to side with her on that. A lot of people are interpreting it as 1) a terrible time to try to be funny and 2) can easily be interpreted as support for Hamas, until she got a ton of backlash and it started to cost her money and then she 'totes didn't mean it that way, just a prank, for realz!'
