- The woman, wearing a white jumpsuit, repeated the words ‘Am Yisrael Chai’
- Khalifa’s encounter occurred outside the Miami Beach Convention Center
- The Lebanese-born sex worker has shown her unreserved support for Palestine
Mia Khalifa recorded herself being confronted by a Jewish mother outside Miami Beach Convention Center – weeks after the Muslim porn star heralded Hamas’ attack against innocent civilians.
The woman, wearing a white jumpsuit, was repeating the words ‘Am Yisrael Chai,’ which is the Hebrew for ‘the people of Israel live’ – a term used to show solidarity with the Jewish people.
Lebanese-born sex worker Khalifa said the woman’s breath smelt like ‘knock-off falafel’ during the fraught encounter that occurred outside the convention center.
Khalifa has shown her unreserved support for Palestine and Hamas since October 7 – including when she said she wished the murdering terrorists had recorded their brutal slaughtering of Israelis horizontally on their phone.
The 30-year-old posted the clip, where the woman was calmly repeating the Hebrew slogan, with the caption: ‘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.’
Although the porn star accused the woman of calling her slurs, those alleged insults were not seen on camera.
At one point in the video, Khalifa turns to the woman’s son, who is standing outside the building with a suitcase, and asks: ‘Are you proud of your mom?’
Attempting to throw an insult at the woman, the porn star adds: ‘Are you waiting for the bus? Becuase I’m waiting for a valet.’
She then tells the camera: ‘She got real quiet now,’ before the woman approaches again, shows off her ‘life’ necklace, and repeats ‘Am Yisrael Chai.’
Khalifa then snaps: ‘Get away from me, your breath smells awful, oh my god, you smell like knock-off falafel.’
As the porn star walks away, the woman waves and says: ‘Bye! Am Yisrael Chai!’
The ordeal took place at the convention center in Miami Beach – where an antique jewelry and watches show was being hosted between January 11 and 15.
Some people slammed Khalifa in the comments under the video – while others stood up for the alleged harassment she faced.
One person wrote: ‘Considering where your mouth has been, not sure you should be making fun of people’s breath!’
Another said: ‘Not a good look for you Mia. You act like a spoiled brat child. Bravo.’
A third person said, on Khalifa’s side: ‘This is disgusting. Why is she even getting that close to you, she needs to understand personal space & mind her business lol.’
Khalifa’s previous comments about the terrorist attack on October 7 caused intense outrage online – and even resulted in her losing her job with Playboy.
She was retweeting footage shot by Hamas, while mocking ‘Zionist settlers in occupied land and stolen homes this morning’, and claimed that President Joe Biden’s ‘fav hobby is ‘b*mbing Arab children’.
She shared an image of the terrorists, who had just savaged Israelis, riding in the back of a pick-up truck, calling it a ‘Renaissance painting.’
‘I can’t believe the Zionist apartheid regime is being brought down by guerrilla fighters in fake Gucci shirts – the biopics of these moments better reflect that,’ she joked in one tweet.
‘Can someone please tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to flip their phones and film horizontal,’ she added in another that was later deleted.
Playboy accused her of ‘hate speech’ as it booted her off its Centerfold platform which allows models to interact directly with fans.
She previously said: ‘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.’
She continued defending her request that the terrorists film horizontally: ‘I just wanna make sure there’s 4k footage of my people breaking down the walls of the open air prison they’ve been forced out of their homes and into so we have good options for the history books that write about how how they freed themselves from apartheid.
‘I’m from LEBANON, are you insane for expecting me to be on the side of colonialism you f***ing weirdo.
Khalifa was born in Beirut and moved to the states as a kid in 2001 during the South Lebanon conflict with Israel.
The US-based star, whose real name is Sarah Joe Chamoun, used to work in the porn industry but now speaks out against it.
