Yeah because it was totally her choice to walk away from the role on her own and not punishment for being an awful person.
After WonderWoman1984 or whatever that warcrime was, no wonder.
Gal’el no!
Next actress should be Palestinian.
I mean, Wonder Woman should look Greek.
She should be blackballed. Anyone who serves in the IDF (IOF) deserves nothing but a life of shame and destitute. Unfortunately, I’m sure she will be just fine.
Don’t know what zionists are downvoting you but they must be butthurt fascists

Report: Nearly half of Israeli youth fail to enter or complete IDF service
The article is 6 years old, so stats likely have changed since then. It would seem that Zionists on lemmy are talking out of their ass when they speak of conscription in the Israeli war crime machine.
What are you talking about, there are absolutely pro-palestinian Israelis fighting the good fight and they are welcome.
This is about Zionism, a fascist ideology.
I’m talking about the false assumption that any downvoter must be a zionist.
Maybe they just don’t like manipulative bullshit.
If you’re defending the IDF or a Zionist’s service in the IDF, you may be a Zionist
If you’re talking shit on the Internet, you may be an idiot. Isn’t that funny?
I’m sorry, what’s funny about fascism?
Joining the IDF is mandatory for all kids at adulthood and they grow up under the boom boom iron dome umbrella.
The only butthurt ones on here are those ruled by rage and unwilling to understand the cause of things.
I proudly look down upon anyone who takes part in an ethnic cleansing. Right is right, and wrong is wrong. Plenty of Israeli’s receive exemptions.
No one ever asks if Palestine has a right to exist.
And I applaud the initiative. But people are people and we all have bias towards “ours” vs “theirs”.
I’m not defending Gadot. The kids growing up in Israel are conditioned since young, as in any nationalistic country. And those rebelling against their own country being on the right side of a conflict are usually the exception, not the rule.
It took a long while for the US to reach where it’s at and they’ve done some ugly things so far. Yet even now there are “patriots” stirring the stinky pot. Can’t say Israel reached the same stage, but it takes time to unlatch if one can at all.
She was a fitness instructor for two years mandatory service before the conflict and never even used a weapon in combat. Chill your hate a little, not everybody in the world who has attended mandatory military service is a bad person or deserves your hate. Spreading that much hate spreads a seed of violence which is how IDF and the Hamas ended up where they are now. Killing millions of innocent people in the blind rage that hate produces.
She donates to Israeli NGOs but won’t donate to Palestinian NGOs. She blames people opposing Israel for her latest movie flopping. She won’t take down posts supporting Israel, even though she clearly gets public pressure to do so, but she will take down even a modicum of public support for Palestine (I think the instagram story in question was something along the lines of killing innocent Palestinians is horrific) when other Israelis pressure her. She’s also presented her IDF period in a positive light and is publicly proud of being an Israeli. Oh and she did a private screening of the Oct 7 attacks for garner sympathy from Hollywood, I doubt you’ll get her to do a private screening of the IDF killing children.
She might not be spreading hate herself but she is 100% complicit in with what her country is doing. Just because she publicly keeps her head in the sand does not absolve her from supporting a genocidal country.
How dare she being proud of her heritage?! Its not unlike America, there are doing the killing all the time and their citizens are still proud are they not? Let’s hate all Americans as well. Ah well let’s hate everyone, even gal gadot if we already started…
As an american, I can say with certainty that anyone who is proud of america right now has a mental illness at best, or is actively culpable for abetting the crimes of the government at worst.
You can be proud and critical of your country. In fact I’d argue being proud of your country should make you extremely critical of your country when it’s doing something you disagree with. I’ll leave it up to you to decide why she’s both proud of Isreal and not critical over what Israel is doing.
Israel is killing people very strategically. The only blind one here is you.
What you’re doing here is no different from the Myth of the clean Wehrmacht
No, not every person who serves is a bad person, the ones with a conscious become ANTI-WAR AVOCATES FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIFE once they become disillusioned.
All YOU are doing is defending fascists who continue to be fascists with NO change of heart. YOU should reevaluate yourself when you compare the victims of 76 years of ethnic cleansing to the perpetrators. Like holy shit.
This comment is the perfect example of complicity.
You just both sided IDF and HAMAS. While ignoring the disproportionate amount of civilian killings in the conflict between them.
And armed rebelion against your colonizer is protected by international law which was created precisely to avert these type of situations. Would you also consider jewish militant groups who fought against nazis as terrorists?
You also make it sound as if as long as somone who doesn’t kill children by their bare hands, they are not worthy of blame.
ANYONE who interacts with the genocidal maniacs that is IDF and does not come out calling out the inherent racism, is worthy of hatred.
I don’t want to comment on the GG / IDF issue because I know nothing about it. But
ANYONE who interacts with the genocidal maniacs that is IDF and does not come out calling out the inherent racism, is worthy of hatred.
Hating makes every problem worse and only reflects on yourself, only affects your own character and feelings. Consider people who condone unspeakable things as mentally ill and in need of therapy and/or learning empathy. Don’t hate them because it makes you a worse person.
Read up on the crimes humana commit. If you still don’t hate them, you need a thorough introspection.
The punishment for dodging is a couple months. The alternative is genocide.
Sure it is, bro. And surely kids growing up in Israel all know all the ins and outs of that by heart, before the age of 12.
Pretty sure we are not talking about 12 year olds. I will concede that they are brainwashed, but let’s give them some agency here.
It was an arbitrary number.
We already know that cult brainwashing is hard to undo, even when the victim is willing. You can’t expect people to wave away years of conditioning during the formative period with a snap of the hand. It’s unrealistic.
Also, agency is contextual. It’s circumstances which dictate what information one acts on and in which way it is perceived.
Reject the call to murder children, or get fucked with the rest of the inhuman scum that do.
Theres no room for grey areas on this.
Yea there is. We’re practicing it. The observer from afar. We argue about it online, but do nothing about it directly and effectively.
If al qaeda forced kids and raised them as terrorists, you would still call them terrorists. Same goes for these terrorists in occupied Palestine.
Yeah man, like designate everyone as terrorists and then go kill them. That surely worked out really well when US did it in the last 40 years or so…
Unless they’re super-Jewish
There’s an exemption for the most rabidly stupid among them
deleted by creator
Exactly
It’s easy to play with the lives of others
If by super-jewish you mean Hasidic Jews, they seem to be fairly anti-Zionist from the YouTube videos I’ve seen both in Israel and in the US. On comment I recall from someone in Israel was asking the lines of “we lived side-by-side in peace with our Muslim brothers before 1948, why can’t we now” or something. It was said by someone in one of the ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods in Israel that had Palestinian flags painted on most buildings as a sign of support.
Can’t seem to find actually numbers though on support/opposition to Zionism among ultra-Orthodox Jews. I did find [this] (https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/ultra-orthodox-anti-zionist/) which gives a bit of info on why they generally oppose Zionism.
Well, they’re the obnoxious base of the beliefs which rule the ethno-state. If they don’t exempt them, it all collapses. But I think by now, they’re likely thinking of ways of ridding themselves of these hindrances as they seem more trouble than they’re worth as a foundation.
Strong “in this moment I am enlightened” vibes
Well, that moment might’ve been. It is momentary after all. Already forgot what I was on about.
just like TOMAR(frenchie from the bars) hes equally reprehensible. also her acting is really bad and she was pratically given roles in hollywood out of the blue.
No it is when you speak out about Israel that you get blackballed.
I don’t agree, as it’s mandatory. She should be condemned for the choices she makes, not the ones she doesn’t. She should be condemned for supporting the Zionists still, not just, in effect, because of where she was born.
There are plenty of Israeli’s who have received exemptions, or have taken the punishment for not conscripting.
Some. Not many. Regardless, I don’t damn people for past mistakes if they recognize that they were mistakes and work to be a better person. She hasn’t and isn’t. That’s why she is bad, not because she was in the IDF in the past.
I don’t expect some stupid kids to give up a good part of their life after living in a bubble of propaganda, but I expect them to grow as people and become better. Your past doesn’t define who you are. We should always be willing to accept people with bad histories who are doing the work to make up for it.
IDF service is mandatory for Israeli youth, so I would not damn people who served in the IDF at one point but condemn the current war.
She could use her standing to stand against genocide. Inaction is also a decision she’s making. She’s still not a worthy person.
I was not talking about her in particular, I was talking about hating all people who served in the IDF. I know people who did mandatory service in the IDF. They think the war is tragic and stupid.
i WaS jUsT FolLoWInG OrDeRs
Hey isn’t this the actress that worked for a child rape and murder organization?
Yes, she worked for Hollywood studios.
Her acting is as awful as her politics. Whichever idiot hired her for any of those roles should be fired.
Mossad
Isn’t it ironic that the name for Israeli intelligent service always sounds like the name of some someone from Iran.
“I have finally accepted that I won’t be rehired, so I’m going to announce that I’m ‘done’, and try to make a graceful exit.”
Yay to the first part, boo to the second part. Only because I’m tired of hearing from Nazi fucks
Sounds like I might watch the next wonder woman. I will never support pro genocide toadies.
As Sean Connery learned.
Never Say Never Again.
Agreed. He would have played a great wonder woman
When you strip away the “cultural phenomenon” impact of the first film. It’s pretty average and she’s so-so as an actress. The second film terrible, and the team ups lack lustre.
She should focus on going for decent acting roles in decent films. I won’t miss her WW.
She would have to become a decent actor first.
She might be “so-so” in her native Hebrew at most, she’s plain awful in English
She should focus on not supporting genocide. Let a worthy actor step into her role. GG can disappear into the ether for all I care.
it seems like came out of the blue in hollywood, likely a cronyism hire. and given a role that a better actor should play.
It’s a nice touch they said “played” and not “performed”.
I mean the score from wonder woman was fucking amazing, but gadot wasn’t particularly special.
She’s a bad actress, she can’t change her accent and isn’t even trying to learn.
her most iconic line would “ka-el no”
Why does the accent matter?
It 100 percent does, it’s called acting. If I’m watching a movie set in central Africa I don’t want them sounding like they’re from Scotland. And vise versa
What about The Last King Of Scotland?
You seem like the type to not understand titles.
But sounding American is universal right?
If you’re going that far, why not complain when they speak English in the wrong part of the world?
american isnt an accent, or a language.
Only American character sound American. If the film requires an English character they’ll employ an English actor.
The universal accent of America. lol no.
So you see my point then.
lol no.
she cant act, and if she cant modify her accent, it means you have very limited range as an actor. just like a person who went to a julihart and cant act for shit if they have such a rigid structure.
shes a pure-crony hire so she gets roles regardless. rock is the same thing.
Kal-El, meh.
