Israel’s aerial bombardment of the Gaza Strip. This military escalation that started last Monday should stop immediately. Hollywood actress Gal Gadot made such a request on social media
This military escalation that started last Monday should stop immediately. Hollywood actress Gal Gadot made such a request on social media. He commented, ‘Israel has a right to exist as an independent and secure state. Neighboring states have exactly the same rights. And then the net-world became active around this post of the ‘Wonder Woman’ famous actress. So much so that once the name of Gal came to the top of the trending list of Twitter.
One side claims that Gal is working to promote Israel’s propaganda. The other side says that he only asked for peace. The Israeli-born actress served in the country’s army before coming into the limelight. “My heart is heavy,” Gale wrote on Twitter with a broken heart emoji. My country is at war today. Thinking of family, friends. This cycle of violence and counter-violence is very old. Israel has the right to live as an independent and secure state. Neighboring states have exactly the same right. My condolences to the bereaved families. I pray for an immediate end to this enmity. Hopefully, our leaders will find a solution so that the two neighboring countries can live in peace.’
Not only Gal, another Israeli-born actress Natalie Portman, TV host and comedian Trevor Noah, Palestinian supermodels Bella and Gigi Hadid, Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai, singer Roger Waters, actor Mark Ruffalo have joined the death march. Natalie Portman, known as an anti-Israel face, has in the past turned down even Israel’s Genesis Award, dubbed the ‘Jewish Nobel’.
However, many have characterized Natalie as anti-Semitic. Many criticized Gal Gadot, writing, ‘You spelled it wrong. Israel is not at war. Palestine and killing its innocent people’. Has also received some support. All in all, it is good if this Hollywood actress’ plea for peace works.
