Comments and conflicts
Addressing the conflict between Israel and Hamas, which has already claimed 1,200 lives, Khalifa called for militants to horizontally film recordings of the conflicts. “I just want to make sure there is 4K footage of my people breaking through the walls of the open-air prison where they were forced from their homes, so that we have good options for the history books they write about how they managed to get rid of apartheid,” he said.
Khalifa also criticized Kylie Jenner for her support of Israel. “If there is such a thing as real journalism, the next person who talks to Kylie Jenner will ask her for her opinion on geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and won’t lose eye contact until she can string together a coherent sentence, since she wants it that way so much taking a stand in front of his 400 million followers,” he said. The post was deleted hours later.
However, she remained critical of Jamie Lee Curtis, who posted a photo of Palestinian children under threat of airstrikes as if they were Israelis. “Decolonize that Oscar and return it to its rightful winner, Angela Basset,” she wrote, denying the image and alluding to the Best Supporting Actress Oscar Curtis won for the film “Everything in Every Place at the Same Time.”

In response to the criticism, Khalifa scoffed at the loss of business opportunities. “I would say that supporting Palestine caused me to miss out on business opportunities, but I’m more angry at myself for not checking that I was doing business with Zionists. My mistake,” he said.
