Former adult actress Mia Khalifa on Tuesday was confronted by an Israeli woman outside the Antique Jewelry Fair. Mia Khalifa accused the Israeli woman of passing slurs on her and following her where she went. As a result, Mia Khalifa got involved in an argument with an Israeli woman who was apparently with her son. Mia took to her official X handle and shared the video with the caption saying, "The Zionists are losing the plot. She followed me through the lobby calling me slurs and didn’t stop the entire time she was waiting for her UberPool at the Antique Jewelry Fair. She’s a vendor- something she made abundantly clear so I guess this is what her business stands for."
In the video, the woman repeatedly said that she was an 'Am Yisrael Chai' and flaunted her pendant on her neck. Am Yisrael Chai is a Hebrew term used in the Jewish solidarity anthem and a widely used expression of Jewish peoplehood and an affirmation of the continuity of the Jewish people. In response, Mia asked her son if he was proud of his mother. Finally, Mia verbally pushed her away.
It is pertinent to mention here that Mia Khalifa has been quite vocal ever since the Israel-Hamas war started. Mia has extended her support to Hamas and even jocked when the Palestinian armed group carried out terror attacks in Israel. Due to this, Mia lost many of her contracts including Playboy parting ways with her.
Recently, Mia came under the scanner after she accused the US of bombing a country. The former adult actress was fact-checked by X. Mia's comment came in the backdrop that US and the UK carried out airstrikes on the Houthis. On 19 November 2023, Houthi militants seized Galaxy Leader, a cargo vessel travelling from Turkey to India in the southern Red Sea, claiming it had Israeli affiliation. This was followed by a warning by Houthi leader Abdulmalik Al Houthi that the Houthi forces would target any Israeli ships in the Red Sea. As a result, the US has carried out two strikes on Houthi-controlled sites.
