On 8th October, the mother of a 13-year-old girl filed a complaint with the Sadar Thana Police in Saharsa, Bihar, against a madarsa teacher, Mohammad Imtiyaz, alias Chhuna. In her complaint, she accused Imtiyaz of repeatedly raping her daughter for three months.
As per reports, Imtiyaz threatened to harm her if she told anyone so the girl couldn’t confide in anyone. Her grandmother took her to the hospital when she developed a high fever. It was discovered at the hospital that the girl was pregnant. The girl’s life was in danger, so an abortion had to be performed. The police have arrested the accused, Mohammad Imtiyaz.
In the complaint, the victim’s mother explained that she and her husband lived in Delhi. They had left the girl at her grandmother’s house so she could attend the madarsa and continue her education. However, Imtiyaz sexually abused her for months.
The victim’s grandmother said, “Imtiaz from the madrasa was doing wrong things with my granddaughter. He would threaten her with violence if she ever spoke out, which is why she couldn’t tell anyone. She started experiencing abdominal pain and had a high fever, so she was prescribed medication. When she didn’t improve, we took her to a private hospital, where we found out that the madrasa Hafiz Mohammad Imtiyaz had been sexually abusing her. Doctors operated to remove the fetus to save the girl’s life.”
Sadar Thana Inspector Sudhakar Kumar said in a statement that as soon as police received the complaint, they took action. After an investigation, they arrested the accused madarsa teacher. He also stated that the girl was receiving treatment at the hospital.
Several blood-curdling videos of the brutal murders of innocent Israeli citizens and defence personnel by Hamas terrorists have been emerging eversince Palestine’s Islamist terror organisation launched an unprovoked attack on Israel on October 7. On Tuesday, October 10, reports emerged that the Hamas terrorists killed an Israeli elderly woman at her home and live-streamed the entire act through her personal Facebook account.
The incident came to the fore after the deceased woman’s granddaughter speaking in a video for Visegrad24, recounted the harrowing experience. The traumatized girl narrated how she saw the gut-wrenching video of the brutal murder on her grandmother’s Facebook account in which her grandmother was lying lifeless in a pool of blood, on the floor of her house.
Israeli girls says she found out Hamas had murdered her grandmother because the terrorists had taken her grandmother's phone, live-streamed the murder and posted it on the grandmother's Facebook wall pic.twitter.com/0c28xcGea1
In a video for Visegrad24, the girl said her aunt had called her mother and asked her to open Facebook.
“My mother could not open it as she was trembling. I opened it from my phone and I saw the worst you could possibly imagine. My grandmother was on the floor of her house being murdered. The entire floor was covered in blood with my grandma lying there,” the inconsolable girl said, adding that the terrorist took her private phone, filmed the act, and put it on her private Facebook wall.”
Video of dead German woman being paraded naked and spit on by Hamas terrorists emerged
Another disturbing visual that emerged was that of the naked and battered dead body of an unidentified woman who was being paraded by the Hamas terrorists in a pickup truck. The terrorists could be heard shouting the Islamic slogan ‘Allah Hu Akbar’ in these gruesome videos of the incident. In some videos that surfaced on social media, a murderous crowd of Hamas terrorists could be seen surrounding the vehicle, chanting slogans and spitting on the woman’s body. The woman being paraded in that video was identified as a German tourist named Shani Louk.
Meanwhile, in response to the unprovoked terrorist attack by Hamas, Israel has escalated its airstrikes on the Gaza Strip and imposed a blockade on the region, preventing the flow of essential supplies, including food and fuel.
This retaliation followed a violent incursion by Hamas terrorists who announced on October 9, Monday, that any death of Gaza civilians in Israeli air strikes would now result in the televised execution of hostages.
Abu Ubaida, spokesman for the Military Wing of Hamas – Al-Qassam Brigades announced on Al Jazeera that they would execute hostages and broadcast it live for each bomb dropped on civilians in Gaza by Israel.
#BREAKING: Hamas announces that it will begin execution and live televised killing of Israeli hostages for every building bombarded in Gaza.
Statement by Abu Ubaida, spokesman for the Military Wing of Hamas – Al-Qassam Brigades on Al Jazeera.
It is notable here that Gaza is one of the most densely populated regions in the world. Hamas has been notorious for hiding its terrorist operations and weapons deep in civilian areas, often using schoolchildren and families as human shields.
In response to the brutal terrorist attack on Israel that killed over 900 civilians and wounded over 2,500 others, Israel has declared war on Hamas and has been pounding the Gaza Strip with bombs for 48 hours. The US and other NATO nations have declared support for Israel.
Hundreds of Israelis and foreign nationals are believed to have been taken hostage by Hamas. Hamas has massacred civilians brutally after attacking a music festival, and family homes in Southern Israel. Social media posts have surfaced where Hamas terrorists are seen killing children, women, and the elderly. The exact number of hostages is unknown.
Four students of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) have been named in an FIR after a video surfaced online regarding several students allegedly holding a support march on Monday to express solidarity with Palestine.
Police said that however no arrests have been made so far in the incident.
“In the evening, information was received that some people took out a protest march without permission regarding an international issue on the AMU campus. Some objectionable and provocative statements have also been made during the march. An FIR has been registered against four students and we are looking for several other students who took part in the march,” Aligarh Superintendent of Police (City) Mrigank Shekhar Pathak said.
SP Pathak informed that FIR has been registered under relevant sections of IPC.
Further investigation is underway.
As Hamas continues to attack Israel on the fourth day, at least 900 Israelis have been killed and over 2,616 people injured, according to The Times of Israel.

On 10th October, Aam Aadmi Party’s Rajya Sabha MP from Punjab, Raghav Chadha, moved to the Delhi High Court to challenge the trial court’s order directing him to vacate the bungalow. The trial court had upheld the Rajya Sabha Secretariat’s notice directing Chadha to vacate the type VII bungalow allotted to him.
The advocate appearing for AAP’s MP said that an eviction notice has been issued, and proceedings are going on. The plea was mentioned before Chief Justice of Delhi High Court Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Sanjeev Narula. The court has agreed to list the matter on 11th October.
Trial Court allowed Rajya Sabha Secretariat to take over Chadha’s house
On 5th October, a Delhi court lifted its previous stay order on the eviction of AAP MP Raghav Chadha from his government bungalow located in Lutyens Delhi. Additional District Judge Sudhanshu Kaushik ruled that Chadha is not entitled to a Type VII bungalow, which he currently occupies, allowing the Rajya Sabha Secretariat to take over the house. The court stated that Raghav Chadha had no vested right to continue living in the bungalow as it was only a privilege given to him as an MP.
After the order was passed, Chadha said, “It is unprecedented in more than 70 years of history of Rajya Sabha that a sitting Rajya Sabha member is sought to be removed from his duly allotted accommodation where he has been residing for a while and more than 4 years of his tenure as Rajya Sabha member are still remaining. The manner of the entire exercise leaves me with no option but to believe that these have been carried out at the dictates of the BJP to further their political motives and vested interest in order to scuttle and stifle the political criticism raised by the vocal parliamentarians like me.”
In September 2022, Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha was allotted a Type VII bungalow at Pandara Road in Delhi. However, in March 2023, the Rajya Sabha Secretariat cancelled the allotment because it exceeded his entitlement as a first-time MP. He was subsequently allotted a different house.
Chadha had gone to the Patiala House Court against the order and obtained a stay on 18th April. The Rajya Sabha Secretariat later filed a plea objecting to the stay order, stating that it was passed without giving them a chance to be heard. The court listened to both sides and lifted the stay order on Friday. Chadha’s lawyer argued that the Rajya Sabha Secretariat did not fall under the definition of ‘government’ or ‘public officer’, but the court disagreed with this assertion.
After being snubbed by his allies, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau tried to utilise the ongoing Israel-Hamas war to whine against India in front of other world leaders like the King of Jordan and the president of the UAE. Laughably, this time too, he got nothing but disappointment, as reportedly the official statement issued by Jordan, had no mention of the diplomatic dispute between India and Canada concerning the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
Notably, India and Canada’s diplomatic relations are at an all-time low. The diplomatic tensions were spurred by Justin Trudeau’s unfounded allegations of New Delhi’s involvement in the killing of Khalistani extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
On Sunday, October 8, an official statement released by the Canadian Prime Minister’s office on Sunday also detailed the conversation Trudeau had with the UAE President. It read that Trudeau spoke with King Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein of Jordan on Sunday and he provided “an update on the situation between Canada and India, underscoring the importance of respecting the rule of law and the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.

However, Jordan made it clear that it was not interested in interfering with the situation between Canada and India, as the readout released by King Abdullah II’s office did not even mention the diplomatic dispute between Canada and India following Trudeau’s baseless allegations of India’s involvement in the killing of Khalistani extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
Amusingly, the Jordanian statement has no mention of the discussions on India. Appears that the line already dead by the time Trudeau brought it up. pic.twitter.com/X7npzLbGmL
It may be recalled that a report published in the Washington Post on September 19 said the Canadian Prime Minister sought the support of many countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, to raise the India-Canada issue but was snubbed by everyone fearing diplomatic backlash from India.
The diplomatic situation between India and Canada
On 19th September, Canada’s PM Trudeau accused India of killing Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil. Canada expelled a senior Indian diplomat as a result of the allegations. The allegations against India opened a can of worms as the allied countries of Canada refused to issue a joint statement against India. Furthermore, India denied the allegations and expelled a Canadian diplomat in retaliation.
India has also stopped issuing visas to Canadian citizens following the allegations and trade talks between India and Canada have halted after the allegations. It has been recently revealed by the Indian authorities that India has shared credible evidence with Canada about wanted criminals and terrorists living on its soil. India has repeatedly raised the issue of increasing Khalistani activities in Canada that were completely ignored. Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun was seen in Canada giving speeches at the so-called referendum for Khalistan while Trudeau was attending G20 Summit in India.
Since Israel declared war following the Hamas terrorist attack, the majority of the Islamic countries have rallied in support of Palestine. These countries, especially Pakistan, have a long history of supporting the “Palestinian” cause. Pakistan’s interest in supporting the Palestinian cause increased, especially since India started strengthening its relationship with Israel in the 1990s. However, Pakistani leaders have avoided discussing one chapter in Palestinian history: the events of Black September in Jordan in 1970.
For those unaware, Black September is when the Jordanian military initiated action to remove Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) terrorists and other groups from its soil. Notably, the 2015 census states that out of the 9.5 million population, there are around 634,000 Palestinians in the country. However, Human Rights organisations claim half of the Jordan population is Palestinian. The ruling Hashemite dynasty of Jordan fears the large population of Palestinians in the country have the power to destabilise the empire.
Israel was formed in 1947. Most of the Palestinians in Jordan arrived as refugees following its formation. In 1967, there was a six-day war, after which around 300,000 Palestinians fled to Jordan. Soon, the Palestinians formed a militia in Jordan, leading to conflict with the government. The Palestinian guerrillas disrupted traffic, took over refugee camps, and clashed with Jordanian Army.
Terrorist groups like the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) used Jordan as a launch pad to attack Israel, leading to retaliation from the Israeli government. King Hussein was also concerned about the sizable Iraqi Army contingent in Jordan, ostensibly there to protect against Israel. To complicate matters, Iraq and Syria supported different Palestinian terrorist groups in Jordan.

In 1970, then-King Hussein survived at least two assassination attempts. The PFLP claimed responsibility for the attempt that was made in the month of September. On 16th September, King Hussein established a military government to restore order in the face of ongoing clashes with Palestinian militants.
Pakistan’s role in the conflict between Jordan and Palestinians
It is important to note that Pakistan played a significant role in the conflict. Jordan sought the assistance of Pakistan to train its newly equipped army. Brigadier Mohammed Zia-ul-Haq, who later became Pakistan’s leader, was sent to provide support. On 17th September 1970, King Hussein ordered the Jordanian Army to target militants in the refugee camps situated around Amman.
On 18th September, Syrian tanks entered Jordan to support Palestinian militants near Irbid. The militants had captured the town, and Zia-ul-Haq assessed the situation on the ground. He believed that Jordan’s own forces could handle the Syrian tanks, so he effectively took charge of part of the Jordanian counterattack. Eventually, Syria chose not to get involved in the conflict.

On 26th September, Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser summoned King Hussein and Yasser Arafat to Cairo to negotiate a ceasefire. The agreement was signed the next day.
The casualties of Black September were significant. Estimates range from 3,000 to 4,000 Palestinian militants, 600 Syrians, and 537 Jordanian soldiers killed in action. The number of civilian casualties is unknown.
In his book “The Duel: Pakistan on the Flight Path of American Power,” Tariq Ali, a British-Pakistani writer, sheds light on the importance of Black September. He cites Moshe Dayan, an Israeli military commander, who stated that King Hussein had “killed more Palestinians in 11 days than Israel could kill in 20 years.” The events of Black September in Jordan marked the end of Palestinian militants’ influence in the country. They resulted in the expulsion of the PLO and other Palestinian groups, most of whom relocated to Lebanon.
There is still a lot of debate surrounding Zia-ul-Haq’s role in the conflict, with some calling him a ‘butcher’ for his actions against the Palestinians. However, some experts believe that Zia was only involved in training Jordanian defence forces and didn’t actually participate in any combat. He stated that Zia was in charge in Irbid, but the Syrians pulled out due to pressure from the US and Israel before any real fighting occurred. During Zia’s regime, the leader of the PLO, Arafat, visited Pakistan multiple times, and there was no apparent animosity towards Zia for his supposed role as the ‘Butcher of Palestinians.’
Palestine is a pawn for Arab nations to attack Israel
Several instances prove that the Palestinian cause is just an excuse for the Arab countries to attack Israel. After Hamas terrorists attacked Israel on 8th October, several Arab nations issued statements blaming Israel for the conflict in the region. Furthermore, countries like Lebanon and Syria have reportedly started preparing to join the war against Israel. At least two tourists from Israel were killed in Egypt within hours after Israel Hamas War started.
In short, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Arab countries surrounding Israel wait for a reason to attack Israel. Most of the time, the conflict between Israel and Palestine gives them a way to target the Jewish nation.
Israel finds it hard to live in peace as it is surrounded by countries waiting for a weak point. Israeli politician Golda Meir once famously said, “We will have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us”.
On Monday (9th October), the Maharashtra Police booked four persons identified as Adnan Sheikh, Mobin Sheikh, Shahbaz Sheikh, and Abdul Sayyed for brutally assaulting a young man identified as Amit Pardeshi for playing songs of Lord Rama. The accused threatened the victim and hit him with iron rods resulting in severe injuries.
The incident is said to have happened in the Mundhwa region of Maharashtra’s Pune district. The accused, who attained injuries on his head, fell unconscious after he was assaulted and was immediately taken to the hospital. He is under treatment.
The accused have been booked under sections 307, 324, 323, 452, 504, 506, 141, 143, 147, 149 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code. Several sections of the Maharashtra Police Act, 1951 including 37 (1), 37 (3), and 135 have also been imposed against the accused.
The incident happened on the evening of 8th October. As per the FIR copy exclusively obtained by OpIndia, the victim was driving with his friends in a Swift car at around 11:30 p.m. He had Hindu devotional songs playing on car speakers, which is when the accused arrived on the bike and stopped the car. They then threatened the victim and warned them not to play songs of Shri Ram in ‘their’ locality.
Mundhwa region in the city of Pune houses a Muslim majority population. Ramkrushna Macharla, the victim’s friend who filed the complaint in the case said, “Me and Amit were together when the incident happened. We had been together for the whole day. In the evening, my mother called me saying that there was some emergency at my home and that she needed me. So I and Amit headed from Camp to the Balajinagar area in his car. One of my friends was also with us. As soon as we reached the Balajinagar area, the accused arrived on the bikes and stopped the car from the opposite direction. They threatened Amit for playing Ram tunes and then abused and assaulted him. We tried to pacify the matter but the accused then hit iron rods on Amit’s head.”
FIR copy obtained by OpIndia
Ramkhushna (24) also mentioned that the accused started the attack which led to severe injuries on the head of the victim.
As per the FIR copy, the victim asked the accused at first to make the wtofor his car as there was an emergency to be attended to at his friend’s home. However, the accused stopped the car and said, “Where are you going and why are you playing the Ram Bhajans here.” The victim then got out of the car and requested them to go away. Meanwhile, more associates of the accused arrived at the spot and began abusing the victim. They also threatened the victim to death and warned him not to play such songs in the area this late.
The brawl began then and the accused is said to have attacked the victim with an iron rod on his head. The friends of the victim approached to help and tried to pacify the matter however, the victim fell unconscious and needed to be taken to the hospital.
“Do not play such songs in such a loud voice in this area from now. Otherwise, you’ll have to face dire consequences. Learn to stay within your limits,” the accused threatened.
OpIndia contacted PI Vishnu Tamhane of Mundhwa Police Station to know the updates on the case. He confirmed the incident and said, “The victim and his friends were attacked by the accused for playing loud music in the area. The victim has attained injuries and is lodged at the hospital. The accused and the victim stayed in the same area so they knew each other. The accused have been booked. Taken into custody. There’s peace at present. Investigations are underway.”
Four accused identified as Adnan Sheikh, Mobin Sheikh, Shahbaz Sheikh, and Abdul Sayyed have been booked under the relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and Maharashtra Police Act, 1951. Investigations are underway.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted raids and searched properties associated with AAP Delhi MLA Amanatullah Khan on Tuesday (10th October) as part of a money laundering inquiry against him and others. According to ED officials, searches are being conducted in a number of locations in accordance with the terms of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
Khan, an Aam Aadmi Party MLA from Okhla, was arrested last year by the Delhi government’s Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) in connection with alleged irregularities in the Delhi Waqf Board.

The ED has taken suo motu cognizance of Khan and others in connection with alleged corruption pertaining to illegal postings in the Delhi Waqf Board. Vinai Kumar Saxena is the lieutenant governor to whom the Delhi ACB reports.
A video shared by news agency ANI showed a large security presence outside Khan’s Okhla mansion, where the raids are taking place. Earlier in the year 2022, the Delhi Anti-Corruption Branch raided his residence and recovered several incriminating materials and evidence against him in the case.
#WATCH | Delhi: ED raids underway at the premises of AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan in connection with a money laundering case. pic.twitter.com/KD0EaQOdjn
The raids came just days after the investigation agency raided AAP MP Sanjay Singh’s Delhi apartment and arrested the Rajya Sabha member for his involvement in the Delhi Liquor Policy scam.
What is the case against Amanatullah Khan?
The raids on Khan are related to an unauthorised appointment to the Waqf Board. In 2016, a case was lodged against Khan following a complaint from the sub-divisional magistrate (headquarters), revenue department, alleging that appointments to various “existing and non-existing posts” in the Waqf Board were “arbitrary and illegal”.
According to charges made by a man named Hafiz Irshad Qureshi, the Board hired 33 persons on a contract basis without following any laws or regulations. Some of those chosen to the board were said to be related to Khan, and the majority were from his area, Okhla.
The complaint further stated that the CEO of the new Waqf board and over 30 staff members were appointed and employed in contravention of Section 24 of the Waqf Act, 1955 and Delhi Waqf Rules, 1977.
An FIR was filed in the aforementioned case in 2020 and Khan had been charged with illegal appointments, rule violations, and theft of funds in the Waqf Board.
Since then, an investigation has been underway.
The CBI had also booked AAP MLA from Okhla under the Prevention of Corruption Act and other relevant sections of the IPC after a complaint was filed against him in 2016. Khan was also accused of corrupt actions and criminal offences including deliberate and criminal violation of rules and regulations, and misuse of position.
Reportedly, the CBI had probed the matter and found substantial evidence against the AAP MLA, following which the CBI sought permission from LG to proceed against him in July 2022.
The FIR by CBI stated that irregular and illegal appointment of officials had led to the loss of revenue of the Delhi Waqf Board, and the appointments were done by misusing their official positions as public servants. It was alleged that waqf board properties were leased to the tenants and the encroachers were allowed to possess the properties in contravention of lease rules leading to the loss of revenue/assets for the board.
AAP MLA’s past antecedents
It is to be noted that Khan played a crucial role in instigating the Delhi riots that happened in the year 2019 against the Citizenship Amendment Act. It was reported that Khan was leading the protests which turned violent in Delhi after which the slogans of Azadi could be heard from the site of protest.
Further in the year 2020, he could also be seen defending AAP councillor Tahir Hussain, who is accused of murdering IB official Ankit Sharma and instigating the citizens against the Hindus during the riots. Defending the accused who continues to be in judicial custody in six other FIRs registered against him which include the case filed under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act for attempting to commit a large conspiracy during the anti-Hindu Delhi riots, Khan said that Hussain was being targeted just because he was a Muslim. The detailed role of Hussain in instigating the said violence can be read here.
Australia witnessed a new low on Monday (9th October) as Hamas terror supporters marched from the Town Hall to the Sydney Opera House and called for the extermination of Jews. Notably, Hamas is designated as a terrorist organisation in Australia.
“Gas the Jews,” they chanted in a vile reference to the holocaust wherein at least six million Jews were brutally mass murdered by Hitler in Nazi Germany and the neighbouring countries it occupied in Europe. The mob hurled black Al-Qaeda flags as they chanted these hateful slogans.
Several videos of the anti-semitic protests on the steps of the Sydney Opera House are going viral on the internet with users calling out the terrorising display of hatred for Jews in support of terrorists.
— Australian Jewish Association (@AustralianJA) October 9, 2023
“F* Israel, F* Jews, F*** Albanese, Allah Hu Akbar,” the mob yelled while attempting to set the Israeli flag on fire before stomping it and ripping it to shreds. Simultaneously, Palestinian flags were waved and flag marches were conducted.
Protests in support of the terrorist group Hamas were organised in Sydney by the Palestine Action Group Sydney. The mob chanted several Islamic and anti-semitic chants, waved banners crying Muslim victimisation, and even committed arson around the Opera House.
The mob hurled lit flares over the police chain in an attempt to damage the Opera House. Even as hate speech echoed on the streets of Sydney without restraint, the mob held signs that read “Stop persecuting Muslims” and “Stand for the oppressed”.

At least three individuals reportedly attempting to raise the Israeli flag at the pro-Hamas protests in Sydney were detained by the police. The police had warned the Jewish people not to visit areas around the Sydney Opera House in view of the violent protests.
Moreover, an indigenous community engagement officer at the University of Sydney likened the support to the terrorist cause of Palestine to the experience of the Aboriginal people in Australia.
Some Australian politicians like New South Wales Greens MP Jenny Leong have openly supported the pro-Hamas protests and have been criticising any support to Israel, which was struct by 5,000 rockets launched by Hamas on 7th October killing hundreds of Israelis and foreign nationals too.
Australia’s Racial Discrimination Act makes it “unlawful for a person to do an act, otherwise than in private, if the act is reasonably likely in all the circumstances to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate another person or group of people, and the act is done because of the race, colour or national or ethnic origin of the other person or some or all of the people in the group”. However, the law does provide certain exemptions under the law in the name of freedom of speech.
On Monday (9th October), ‘Playboy’ terminated its relationship with ex-pornstar Mia Khalifa. In a mail to the Playboy Creator Community, the company said that it had terminated all relations with Mia over the “disgusting and reprehensible” comments that she made in the context of Hamas’ attack on Israel.
In the letter, Playboy said, “We are writing today to let you know of our decision to terminate Playboy’s relationship with Mia Khalifa, including deleting Mia’s Playboy channel on our creator platform. Over the past few days, Mia has made disgusting and reprehensible comments celebrating Hamas’ attacks on Israel and the murder of innocent men, women and children.”
“At Playboy, we encourage free expression and constructive political debate, but we have a zero-tolerance policy for hate speech. We expect Mia to understand that her words and actions have consequences,” it emphasised.

They also shared the letter sent to Mia terminating her contract. The letter read, “Playboy has always been a champion of free speech. We have fought in the courts for the rights of all people to speak free from any governmental interference. For seventy years we have highlighted different viewpoints in the pages of our magazine, on our websites, in the symposia we’ve hosted, and from the thought-leaders, creators and artists who we’ve platformed on our various forms of media.”
They added, “We also have no place in our company nor on our platforms for speech that is hateful and dehumanising. Your recent statements celebrating Hamas’ attacks on innocent men, women and children in Israel, including rape, mutilation, killing and torture, are disgusting and reprehensible. Consequently, we are hereby permanently terminating you from the Playboy creator platform and ending all other business dealings we may have with you.
“We want to be very clear: we respect your right to free speech. We also expect that you understand that how you use your speech has consequences. Today, we are calling you out on your hate-mongering and severing all ties with you. We will also be letting our creator community know of our decision,” the letter pointed out.

Canadian broadcaster fired Mia Khalifa
Playboy is not the first one to terminate Mia Khalifa. Earlier, Canadian broadcaster and radio host Todd Shapiro also fired her.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Shapiro quoted Mia and said, “This is such a horrendous tweet @miakhalifa. Consider yourself fired effective immediately. Simply disgusting. Beyond disgusting. Please evolve and become a better human being. The fact you are condoning death, rape, beatings and hostage-taking is truly gross. No words can explain your ignorance. We need humans to come together, especially in the face of tragedy. I pray for you to become a better person. However, it clearly seems like it’s too late for you.”
This is such a horrendous tweet @miakhalifa. Consider yourself fired effective immediately. Simply disgusting. Beyond disgusting. Please evolve and become a better human being. The fact you are condoning death, rape, beatings and hostage taking is truly gross. No words can… https://t.co/ez4BEtNzj4
In a post quoted by Shapiro, Mia mentioned Hamas terrorists as “freedom fighters in Palestine” and urged them to record videos in horizontal format. In reply to Shaprio’s post terminating her (but not quoting his directly), she wrote, “I’d say supporting Palestine has lost me business opportunities, but I’m more angry at myself for not checking whether or not I was entering into business with Zionists. My bad.”
Source: X
Interestingly, after getting terminated, without taking any names, she appeared to have called Shaprio’s company “sh*tty” and claimed that would be the maximum press they would get, apparently riding on her back. She wrote, “That’s the most press you’ll ever get out of me for your shitty little company you quite literally couldn’t pay me to post about it publicly before because I thought it was so bad. It’s FREE PALESTINE until Palestine is FREE.”
Source: X
Seeing the backlash, Mia has “clarified” that she only wanted to make sure “there is 4K footage of her people” breaking down the walls of the “open-air prison”.

Furthermore, she has claimed that asking for “4K footage” was in “no way, shape or form is enticing spread of violence” as she called them “freedom fighters”.

Mia Khalifa is a Lebanese-American former porn star and media personality. She was born in Lebanon, a country that is supporting Hamas. Notably, Lebanon’s Shia Islamist terrorist group Hezbollah has expressed its desire to join Hamas in war against Israel.
In a reply to Hezbollah, Israel warned the terrorist organisation not to mess with IDF or they would face consequences. The US has also warned the Lebanese terrorist organisation not to open a new front against Israel.
Mia Khalifa came out in support of Hamas
Mia Khalifa has been active since Hamas launched a terrorist attack on Israel’s territory. On 7th October (local time), she posted on X claiming whoever is not on Palestine’s side is on the wrong side of history.
Source: X
In another tweet, she urged terrorists to record their atrocities in a “horizontal” format, which angered a lot of people, including her employers.
Source: X
Interestingly, X users pointed out that the only place Mia Khalifa would survive, owing to her background in the porn industry, would be Israel. Rita Panahi wrote, “My people”. You silly simpleton. You’d never survive in Gaza. In fact the only place in the Middle East a woman like you is afforded full rights is Israel. That must be hard to swallow.”
“My people”. You silly simpleton. You’d never survive in Gaza. In fact the only place in the Middle East a woman like you is afforded full rights is Israel. That must be hard to swallow. https://t.co/JUnKpvxs89
Mia Khalifa poked her nose in India’s internal matters
While her support for Hamas terrorists is understandable, as she is Lebanese, it was an eye-rolling moment back in 2021 when she tried to poke her nose into India’s internal matters.
The ex-porn star supported the farmers’ protests in February 2021 and said, “What in the human rights violations is going on? They cut the internet around New Delhi?#FarmersProtest” The former internationally-acclaimed pornstar had also shared a picture of anti-farm law protestors, where one of them could be seen holding a placard saying, “Stop Killing farmers.” On X.
