Gal Gadot had recently tweeted a message calling for unity while the rocket attacks had been going on in Palestine’s West Bank. This had resulted in a firestorm from critics on the internet.
Gal Gadot Has A History With The Israeli Forces
The criticisms point out that Gal Gadot has once been a soldier for the Defense Forces of Israel. As such they contend that the military of Israel is using her as a tool for propaganda.
Gal Gadot, 36, is most notable for her role in the superhero film “Wonder Woman”. The actress spoke out on her Twitter account about her heart is breaking due to the war that is going on in her country. Tensions have escalated in the past few days over a region in Jerusalem that is disputed. This has resulted in fatal exchanges involving attacks by rocket fire. The two sides fighting are the Hamas militants and Israel.
On Wednesday, Gal Gadot tweeted that this vicious cycle has been happening for a long time. She said that Israel deserves its existence as a safe and free nation, as do its neighbors. She prayed for those who were affected and the victims’ families. She also prayed for the hostility, that she called “unimaginable”, to end. She finally prayed that their leaders find a solution that will allow them to live alongside each other.
A few users on Twitter immediately reacted adversely to the tweet citing her history with the military. Tweets raised accusations of supporting “mass genocide” and “ethnic cleansing” against Gal Gadot. The comments cannot be seen anymore, however, after the actress disabled comments for her tweets.
Users reportedly called her out as being an enabler of Israeli atrocities on Palestine. There were supportive tweets as well who pointed out that for Israelis, it is compulsory to serve the military once someone is 18.
