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.
Is that what she said?
She did, but she removed it https://twitter.com/miakhalifa/status/1710663220619313397
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!'
That was her mistake - the comment was too vague, so the media jumped on it, skewed the narrative, took that skewed narrative and grossly exaggerated it further, and denounced her as pro-Hamas. It's obvious to see with even a little bit of reading and it's both frightening and disgusting.
Uhh, no. It was not her mistake that biased media outlets with an agenda say she said something while not actually reporting the exact thing she said.
It's bad journalism, but I don't think anyone expects reputable journalists to take this matter seriously.
Yeah, I see your point and I agree.
No, that one comment was not vague, the only active "fighters" to be called "freedom fighters" were Hamas.
There is no ambiguity, no vagueness.
There is absolutely ambiguity, it just doesn't suit your worldview (or similar) so you lie. It's your right to lie, but just know that anyone who isn't dogmatic knows you're lying.
Lol, this is such horse shit.
Hmm. That's actually not that bad.
It's nice to see original sources for things. Everyone likes to twist and distort reality to support their agenda.
Who are the Palestinian freedom fighters she's referring to?
Edit: She clarifies she means the civilians. It's an awful choice of wording, but I can give her the benefit of the doubt.
She said "Palestinian freedom fighters" - it's telling that when people read that they think she means Hamas.
