Some people have zero sense of context, it's laughable lol
Shouting "I support Gaza !!" on every roof RIGHT NOW, has exactly the opposite effect
I too support civilians living their lives peacefully, but we are talking about terrorists here
Ironic that you would talk about zero sense of context when siding with the people ignoring crucial context.
Mia Khalifa was NOT talking about terrorists. She was talking about the oppressed people of Palestine who film the atrocities of the Israeli apartheid government. She didn’t mention Hamas and since they're not usually the ones filming THEIR atrocities, it's clear that she wasn't referring to them either. Especially when you add her own clarification to the equation:
It was still a bad post, at least based on how it reads to the average unknowing person.
Yeah, it was worded imprecisely enough to make misinterpretation possible, which is always a bad move when discussing contentious issues no matter your intention.
Definitely wasn't bad enough that she deserved being immediately fired, cancelled and defamed as a terrorism sympathiser, though.
Yeah I'll agree with that. It was exceptionally poor wording and it comes down to the benefit of the doubt if you believe she worded it poorly vs ... yeah. But the deserves the benefit of the doubt.
