This has nothing to do with her being Jewish though. Don't manipulate this please. I've read about Arab families in Israel denouncing their Arab sons for serving in the army.

Zionism is the issue.

Serving the army is mandatory though. Are we supposed to cancel every single person who served in the army, no matter what was their position or what they have done during their service?

Are we supposed to cancel any Israeli who has managed to get any sort of success abroad just due to the government's actions? 

Anti-zionism is not antisemitism by definition but it is often used by people to get away with their clear anti-Jewish stances. History has shown that many times. Which is why this call to "cancel" her just because she is famous and Israeli feels very similar to Jews being boycotted throughout history.

Why do they not focus their efforts on actually helping and aiding rather than canceling people…. 
 

priorities.

 

so ****ing tired.

Tbh some of these people are more concerned with arguing and proving they are right than actually helping anyone

She'll likely be dropped because people have such a black-and-white thinking on this issue.

You have to remember how Americans felt after 9/11, and the French/Europeans after Charlie Hebdo being attacked.

I’m not cancelling anyone, and certainly not some movie actress, but go off with your fake wokeness if it makes you feel better

This is exactly sounds like: Why do they focus on calling out rapists and why do they fight sexism, let‘s just support the victims who got through it instead of calling people out...

No, that is exactly just how it sounds to you in your twisted mind. This actress isn’t a rapist lol, she just shared a peaceful message on social media. Go demand change from your governors and officials, not from movie actresses

Yeah, when people actually commit a crime. You know, not cancelling people when they say they want peace on both sides is a good thing. 

okay then let's all be fine with nazis and racist people who don't actively murder and physically harm others! that's literally what you're saying because she literally supports zionism. 

and you're literally ignoring what we've been saying about her serving in the army and supporting it but hey she said the word peace so all is good i guess

So what, it's mandatory for anyone who turns 18 in Israel. She literally had to serve. 

she could have refused to and suffered the consequences if she really cared but she doesn't 

[alsemanche 90,798]

Three things: 

1- This whole "it's mandatory to serve the army" is BS because if you REALLY cared about what your army stands for (aka genocide and ethnic cleansing) you would have taken an actual stance and refused to contribute to it. Ad besides, not only did she serve in the IOF, she also very clearly supported it. So stop making excuses. We literally have someone on GGD who refused to enter the IOF because they know that it's wrong. "So you wanna oppose anyone who enters the IDF?" Is that really that hard to grasp? Of course I will oppose anyone who does it, it's a no-brainer.

2- I feel like I've said this almost 500 times on this forum alone, but if you still conflate Zionism and Judaism, that's on you not on anyone else. Israel is a Jewish state, cool, but it doesn't represent all Jews and it doesn't stand as a replacement for Jewish people. Israel is a ZIONIST state, first and foremost. As far as I saw, no one who is calling out Gadot has mentioned her being a Jew, it's always those defending her who are bringing it up then calling us anti-Semitic. Opposing Zionism isn't anti-Semitic, and if you don't agree with that then that's your problem not ours. 

3- Stop throwing buzzwords like fascism and cancel culture around just to make a (n empty) point. Zionist propaganda is a very real issue (proof: it put the whole "anti-Semitic" narrative center-stage and moved the focus away from Palestinians literally being carpet bombed) and it needs to be countered. People like Gal Gadot and others are contributing to this Zionist propaganda and need to be shut down from their platforms. It's as simple as that. Cultural boycott (along with economic boycott) is an essential part of the fight. Look up BDS, read about it, follow it. And stop falling for centrist/liberal "two-sides!!!" "arguments" that ignore reality.

Im gonna be the biggest enemy here on this forum but Palestine is a geographic region not a nationality. Jews have lived on the land for thousands of years  But in spite of this truth, Gal shouldve stayed away from this program

I don’t support her beliefs but should people from the US, UK, Spain, etc not be allies for anything anymore because they are from “settler colonial states” as well? 

being from somewhere isn’t the same as actively supporting it

You mean like when he wanted to sell Puerto Rico. Give me a break. You don't know much about anything do you?

Umm- that’s a bad example and not the same thing. Trump is an idiot, but he never promoted genocide or the removal of indigenous people.
