Now, she has informed us of a beef we did not know about.

[AubreyM-ik]

Good for MIA speaking up & telling the truth.

Oprah is just a human being with money that will not always be there to help her she will fall like all of us! JS

Well my dear the fictional group of the 60s the "palestenians" supported hamas and their actions by a majority of around 90% ( studies say it's somewhere between 87-92% ) and considering about how "innocent palestenians" kidnapped and held israeli and foreign hostages i can objectively say that even if the gazans cannot be all conaidered hamas the vast vast majority are their supporters, enablers and helpers.

IDK who this girl is, but a few short clips have popped up in my feed about this interview. If you're part of a broad group, let's say, Christians. When a sect of Christians becomes extreme you call them out. You don't stay silent.
The small extremist Baptist group that was protesting US funerals of the military, Christians immediately and continually stated we are not one of those. We disavow that group's beliefs. Etc.
Now let's see this happening from every other group.
Because Palestinians were not separating themselves from Hamas. Palestinians celebrated the oct event and most still do.

ITS AN INSULT TO THE TAMIL STRUGGLE TO RELATE TAMIL TIGERS TO HAMAS !

[ramel]

Tamil and Hamas? You can not compare the two.

[chaichantheshiba]

Love mia, she’s been Mia for the last few years. Super delighted and perplexed as too why she’s jumping up in my podcast circle

[martianshoes]

Is there a member of Hamas that does not contribute to terrorism?

[AnointedxOne]

Thosr are the coolest uniforms i have ever seen

[meenamuthu]

Tamils in Sri Lanka problem is totally different from Palestinian problem

[recluseraven]

I remember that. It was in the news briefly.

[xCestLaVie]

Tamils were different though, the people didn't actually vote for the Tigers. The Tigers killed off all the other Tamil political parties. Palestinians wanted Hamas. They teach their children in schools to take out the Jews. M.I.A is so ignorant on this topic to compare the two situations.

[Tí_Loyal_Rey]

What are you saying, Hamas isn't a terrorist organization?😮

[anuamarasekara]

This is fake information, I am Sri Lankan and have lived in the era where all this took place;
This is a foolish and poor narrative of the whole debacle... please do your own research before coming to a conclusion

[jropar]

Stick to what you know, sweetheart. There are many terror organizations associated with the Palestinian cause other than HAMAS; among them are.: PLO, PLFP, The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Abu Nidal, and The Palestinian Islamic Jihad. All peaceful, of course.

[s.lmemer]

Mia was a mouthpiece for Prabakaran when we conered him and his cronies in Nandikalal in 2009. Her silence on the atrocities her "feedom fighters" did to us sri lankans speaks volumes about her narrative....

[NeraBuffy]

Ticktocker Zach Sage recently went to hamastinian territory and they all told him they support themselves and everything ever done for jihad.

[S.Mahmud]

Hamas and tamil tigers are not the same. Palestinians elected hamas in power who used the foreign aids to make missiles and dig tunnels instead of built schools, sorry, there are schools in palestine but hamas use that as military base 😂

[T-Royfromthe]

Bruh i used to smoke so many blunts listening to her music
