A video of ex-adult star Mia Khalifa’s confrontation with a Jewish woman in a public place has gone viral on social media.
The confrontation has drawn mixed reaction from netizens, with some supporting Khalifa, while others flaying her behaviour.
The 43-second video shared on X (formerly Twitter) and Khalifa claimed in the caption that the unknown woman was following her on the microblogging platform.
Since the Hamas attack last year, many people have taken sides, both with Israel and Palestine.
And Mia Khalifa has been voicing concern and support for what she described as Palestinian “freedom fighters”, drawing backlash on social media.
In her X post, Khalifa said, “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.”
The woman behind Khalifa is heard saying “That’s right.” The former porn star then addresses the young man next to her asking, “You proud of your mom?”
“Am Yisrael Chai,” the woman says in response, a cry widely used in solidarity with Jewish people. The woman repeats the phrase several times in the video.
She also reveals her necklace asking Khalifa, “You see that?”
However, Ms Khalifa tells her, “Are you waiting for the bus? Because I’m waiting for my valet.”
In the next few seconds, the woman approached Khalifa from behind, exposed her necklace, and said, “Am Yisrael Chai.”
At this point, Khalifa walked away saying, “You smell like knockoff falafel.”
