Former adult film star Mia Khalifa stirred controversy with tweets about the Israel-Gaza war, saying "If you can look at the situation in Palestine and not be on the side of Palestinians, then you are on the wrong side of apartheid, and history will show that in time." She also wrote that 'freedom fighter' in Palestine should "flip their phones and film horizontal." Her post angered many, resulting in a business deal's cancellation by Canadian broadcaster Todd Shapiro. Shapiro called her tweet "beyond disgusting" and terminated their arrangement, saying she should "become a better human." Shapiro condemned her for condoning death, rape, and hostage-taking in ignorance. Additionally, Playboy severed ties with Khalifa over her "disgusting and reprehensible" comments celebrating Hamas attacks, deleting her creator channel. Khalifa faced major backlash for insensitive tweets amid the tragic Israel-Hamas conflict
