Lebanese-US porn star Mia Khalifa has sparked fury online after mocking Israel in a tweet showing her drinking wine.
‘My wine is older than your apartheid ‘state”, she wrote alongside the images.
The 28-year-old has voiced her support for Palestinians on social media since cross-border violence between Israel and Gaza broke out earlier this month. The 11-day conflict between Israel and Palestinian political and military group Hamas saw at least 242 people killed in Gaza and 13 in Israel.

Some online noticed that one of the bottles in front of Khalifa was dated 1943 and contained champagne produced in Nazi-occupied France.
Jewish Twitter user Hen Mazzig wrote: ‘You’re drinking wine made in 1943 Nazi-occupied France, while denying thousands of years of Jewish history in our ancestral homeland. Glad you found the perfect pairing for your antisemitism!’
Khalifa’s latest tweet drew criticism online, with Dispatch editor-in-chief Jonah Goldberg commenting: ‘I love how Israel haters cast It as young.
‘Yes the modern state of Israel was founded in ’48 — but that’s 10 years Iraq’s founding and five before Egypt’s. The of Israel (and Egypt) are old.’

Khalifa, who is one of PornHub’s most popular stars, is no stranger to standing up for her political beliefs and has previously spoken out on Instagram and Twitter after India cut off the internet for the protesters.
In February, she joined Rihanna, Greta Thunberg and Kamala Harris’s niece in drawing attention to the massive demonstrations led by farmers who fear that new reforms will favour big businesses to the detriment of smaller producers.
Khalifa wrote on an Instagram Story: ‘India has cut internet around New Delhi amidst a farmers protest, what the f*** is going on?’
She then said on Twitter, taking aim at people who have doubted the legimitacy of the protests: ‘”Paid actors,” huh? Quite the casting director, I hope they’re not overlooked during awards season. I stand with the farmers. #FarmersProtest.’
Her tweet was slammed as ‘irresponsible’ by Indian authorities who accused ‘foreign individuals’ and celebrities of ‘sensationalism’.
