The situation in the Palestinian region is getting more intense than ever as Israel continued to violate the ceasefire by attacking the Al-Aqsa mosque again. The atrocities committed by the Israeli armed forces in the region and their inhumane treatment towards the defenseless Palestinians are already known by all. Amidst the ongoing violence in Gaza, many celebrities have come forward and have shown their support for the Palestinian fellows. Mia Khalifa has been one such name.
Mia Khalifa has been quite vocal about the Palestinian issue and has clearly condemned Israel for violating basic human rights
Once again, it’s anti Zionism, not anti Semitism. But if you need to hear that alongside every #FreePalestine it starts to feel like #AllLivesMatter (which is definitively true) but we’re concentrating on the actively oppressed right now… not the ones with billions in funding.

She has been highlighting the war crimes committed by Israeli defence forces in Palestine and has also called out the UN for doing absolutely nothing
You’re right, I’m privileged to sleep safely in my bed tonight. But I vividly remember living through sirens, air strikes, ground shaking, walls rattling in hideout basements, and destruction in Beirut due to unrest. I say #FreePalestine as loudly as I say “pray for Lebanon.” https://t.co/Yj7PQ4xzfe

Mia Khalifa even stated that the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land is illegal
Imagine I walk into a McDonald’s and demand they change the name to Miacdonalds and leave the premises immediately. And when they don’t, I b*mb that McDonald’s into oblivion and call it self defense. https://t.co/2E9UYHjZgT

She has been actively campaigning for a free Palestine ever since news of displacement of Palestinian families from the Sheikh Jarrah area arose

In the middle of all of this, Pakistan blocked Mia Khalifa’s TikTok account in the country
She was shocked by the unexpected move.

Pakistanis stated that this does NOT matter as she has already won hearts by supporting Palestine unconditionally

They said that the humanity displayed by Mia was indeed applaudable
No not true. People of Pakistan have huge respect for you. It takes time for people to understand another person. For what you are doing for Humanity and Palestine is applaudable. 🤍🤍💜🧡💛💚💙❤️💜

A few pointed out that Pakistan needs to get rid of this banning culture
I mean like seriously! Like @PTAofficialpk don’t have any other constructive work to do other than banning. Ban this and that. Banned tiktok than opened, banned youtube than opened, banned PUBG than opened. I mean like they are just there for banning social media?? @miakhalifa pic.twitter.com/t4DShVgyof

Mia responded to the ban by saying that she will be posting her TikToks on her Twitter account for her Pakistani fans
Shoutout to Pakistan for banning my tiktok account from the country. I’ll be re-posting all my tiktoks on Twitter from now on for my Pakistani fans who want to circumvent fascism 💕
— Mia K. (@miakhalifa) May 22, 2021
In response to Mia’s reply, Pakistanis kept on showering love as they were proud of her for supporting Palestine
They even said that the country needs to set its priorities right as Mia’s TikTok account was not a threat to anyone.
