Gal Gadot suggested that political pressure on celebrities to speak out against Israel contributed to Disney’s Snow White underperforming at the box office, though she acknowledged other factors played a role.
-
The film, starring Gadot and Rachel Zegler, earned $87 million domestically compared to higher-performing Disney remakes; Zegler faced criticism for her pro-Palestine stance during promotion.
-
Gadot emphasized she enjoyed working with Zegler, said her “conscience is clean” regarding support for Israel, and expressed hope for peace and safety for all people.
I heard she is an ex IDF soldier. If true she can fuck off. Movie sucked because of CGI dwarves that could of been played by little people. Also fact we didn’t need a live action Snow White.
Isn’t serving in the military mandatory in Israel?
Yes
She did a lot more than the mandatory minimum, she cheerled them and praises them every chance she gets.
That would definitely warrant the negative statements.
You get sent to prison if you dodge the draft. Fuck every single Israeli who chooses participating in genocide over a prison sentence
there more I live the more I respect the friends I met who preferred jail to the army.
lost contact with them, but I hold more respect for them the longer I live.
But, they are only following orders.
And how did that go for the last group of fascists that used that as an excuse?
Bad for the plebs that had to die for it.
The industrials, rich, politicians, etc, who got them to do it got immediately rehabilitated and stayed in power everywhere.
With exception from the handful symbolically sacrificed at the Nuremberg media trials
My point exactly. History is a wheel et al.
We’ll see what happens when Trump is out of office.
Nothing, the Blue MAGA fascist-lite half of that shithole will call for reconciliation.
As they already have.
And as happened with the original WW2 fascists
Most of them are very proud of being part of the occupation force . Many even film themselves mocking Gazans or committing war crimes
Doesn’t matter fuck her she a shit actress.
I don’t have an issue with that opinion. It’s the condemning her for serving in the military when it seems like she had no choice that I have a problem with.
Not that I know her opinion on the current state of Isreal.
There are Israelis who chose prison time over serving in their colonial occupation army.
She did more than serve the mandatory amount, she chose to promote them and publicly supports them.
Which is important to note, but that’s not what the comment above said. It said serving alone is grounds for hate. Israel fucking sucks, but I’m fine working with people who served in the IDF if they’re against Israel’s actions. We all should be, or our list of allies will be incredibly small, as what nation or group hasn’t contributed to horrific actions?
Hard disagree.
“I may have helped an army commit war crimes and I may have shot at people myself but I’m against the war” sounds like an insane excuse. “I was just following orders” has been conclusively debunked. I feel some pity for genuine objectors (the head of the Taylor swift fan club spent a few months in jail rather than serve) but they aren’t in the group you describe.
She almost certainly didn’t do either of those. Most soldiers in an army will never fire a weapon. The majority are on the back line or at home.
This isn’t to excuse her. She supported Israel in other ways whole they did horrible things. However, most people are reluctant to leave their homes and their families, and most won’t do anything particularly objectionable (actively) while in the IDF.
It sounds like you’re still making excuses. Not every Russian soldier is on the front lines committing war crimes in Ukraine either but they’re supporting the cause. They’re “reluctant to leave their homes and their families“ too, but that doesn’t justify anything.
She had a choice though, some Israelis choose prison instead of participating in occupation and genocide. Had she done that she’d be worthy of respect. She chose to serve.
That’s not much of a choice.
I know right? Why would you choose to have that blood on your hands?
This is a real naive take. It would be nice if we could all stand for our morals, consequences be damned, but the vast majority won’t and I don’t consider people to be bad because of a choice between two shitty options.
I really wonder what you would actually choose to do in such a situation. It’s easy to armchair. Not as easy when you actually have to make the choice. And I’m saying this from experience with choices far less consequential.
I will certainly judge someone who chooses the option that means murdering starving children.
I’d be following the lead of the others resisting compulsory service. It’s not as difficult as you make it out to be, when you actually have principles.
For the most part, yes.
Service is mandatory
She didn’t have the obligation to express her proudness of doing the "service " though
The comment above needs to say that then. They had issue with her serving at all.
Everybody should have an issue with people serving in an occupation force
These people are just turning 18 and probably reluctant to leave their home and family/friends and probably don’t want to be in jail either. They’ve spent their entire life with propoganda shoved down their throats and with tons of pressure to just get it done. No, I won’t hold that against them.
I’ll hold it against them if they choose to take other actions, but not that. They didn’t choose where they were born.
Wherever you are living, you’ve done far less than it would take for these people to avoid serving. You’re comfortably sitting at home with relatively few worries.
Just replace israelis with russians and you should see how dumb is your comment is. The least she could do is just to shut her mouth and don’t be proud about serving in that genocidal terrorist army
The last part, yes.
I don’t have any issue with Russian people either. It sucks what they’re being forced to do, and should be killed because they’re being used to invade another nation. That doesn’t mean I’ll hold it against them if they decide to work with us against the Russian elite that are causing the issues.
Don’t make potential allies into enemies because of their past. Gal is not a potential ally. She’s an Israel sympathizer. That’s the thing that’s bad about her, not that she served in the IDF.
She is an occupation and a genocide supporter because she was proud of joining the occupation and genocidal force.
