I came here thinking this sounds like she might be getting woke-cancelled for suggesting Israel is pure as driven snow...

Khalifa even urged Hamas fighters to "flip their phones and film" executions horizontally in one of her posts.

Nevermind, she can go fuck herself with a cactus.

If you think military fighters executing civilians is an acceptable strategy, you probably deserve to be among those civilians and see how you like it.

They took her comment grossly out of context for effect. The actual quote was...

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

Yeah, pretty tasteless, but it's not what the article makes it out to be. She's largely getting dragged for openly criticizing Israel's genocide and the media is skewing the situation to make her look worse. Can't have the masses questioning the party line and all.

The real controversy seems to be around her calling them fromage fighters.

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

OMFG, I want to be a fromage fighter so bad.

[–] undeffeined@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 months ago

Yes, please leave the fromage ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪

Fromage fighters? What a stinker.

Telling a porn star to "go fuck herself" made me chuckle more than it should

!

One of my favorite insults is saying someone should shove a rusty cactus up their ass.

I think we just became best friends. Or at least, to not be presumptive, you've gained a new fan.

Your moment has come!!

Considering Israel is carpet bombing and entire city of non-combatants perhaps you should get some perspective.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 23 points 10 months ago (2 children)

So two wrongs do make a right, then?

FUCK Hamas with a cactus FUCK the Israel government with a cactus

[–] Carighan@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Is this the right time to get into the cactus growing business?

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 20 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You don't need to know that Israel are carpet bombing a city (which is wrong) to know that Hamas executing civilians is also wrong. Neither side are justified in the horrific war crimes they are committing.

Never said it was, dude.
