And… yet another Gal Gadot film is shaping up to be a disaster

Gal Gadot is currently making headlines for her latest film, Snow Whitewhich bombed at the box office.

But this summer protestors disrupted production on her next movie, The Runner, which Amazon Prime will be releasing.

Gal Gadot: another film, another mess

The Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) and other grassroots organisations managed to disrupt the shooting several times. Apparently, all it takes is a bit of noise.

Gal Gadot has consistently acted as a cultural ambassador for Israel’s genocide. Despite this, the Met arrested five legitimate protesters.

As usual, the Met police were full of shit, claiming protestors disrupted the movie because Gadot was Israeli.

Yes, Gadot may be Israeli. But the protests were because she once served in the Israel Defense Forces for two years. Previously, Reuters reported:

Gadot served the IDF for two years, a stint which included participation in the 2006 Israel-Lebanon war, which Lebanon gave as its reason for banning the “Wonder Woman” movie starring Gadot when it was released in 2017, the Washington Post

Gadot also recently claimed it was “unfair” that her movies were being boycotted because she supported Israel.

But there’s a difference between being Israeli and supporting a nation perpetuating violent settler colonial Zionism and working for a genocidal army.

Boo-hoo

Back in March, protestors also gathered outside Gal Gadot’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony.

Given that Gal Gadot even hosted screenings of an Israeli military propaganda film, which aimed to justify Israel’s genocidal actions against Palestinians, we should be boycotting and protesting against her films.

All you have to do is look at the difference between the way Israeli settlers continue to tyrannise No Other Land Oscar winners, by attacking Masafer Yatta, and how Gadot is playing the victim like every dutiful Zionist does, to know it’s right that activists have taken a stand against her.
