Calls for boycott of 'evil witch' Gal Gadot in Snow White

Social media users have taken to X to call for a boycott of Disney’s latest offering “Snow White” featuring Israeli actress and former member of the Israeli occupation army Gal Gadot.

Activists have hit back at Zionist claims that such calls are “anti-Semitic”, saying calling for a former member of the Israeli occupation forces to be boycotted is “not only anti-war but also pro semitic and pro humanity.”

Unfortunately, this poster has a few misspellings. Let's fix it:

The boycotting of Zionist Gal Gadot, a former IDF child killer, is not only anti-war but also pro semitic and pro humanity.

Mocking the oft-used claim that supporting the Palestinian right to liberation is anti-Semitic, one user asked if boycotting Gadot because she’s “a remarkably bad actress, is that antisemitic too?”

Personally, I've been boycotting Gal Gadot for many years for being a remarkably bad actress, is that antisemitic too?

I love Gal Gadot said no one ever

While others shared an old article in which the actress said “serving in the IDF prepared me for Hollywood.”

There have been similar calls from the pro-Israel lobby after Gadot’s co-star Rachel Zegler, who plays the role of Snow White, thanked fans for viewing the film trailer 120 million times in just 24 hours and ended her message with “and always remember, free palestine [sic].”

and always remember, free palestine.

“Rachel Zegler is trolling her much more famous and beautiful Snow White co-star Gal Gadot,” wrote journalist Joel Petlin.

Disney continues to hire the wrong actors to represent their brand. Rather than promoting a film, they choose to embarrass themselves and the studio.

Uri Kurlianchik questioned Disney’s “marketing strategy for Snow White” as a result of the varied political views of its cast and the effects that may have at the box office.

Disney have an interesting marketing strategy for Snow White. It co-stars Israeli Gal Gadot, making sure Israel-haters will boycott it, and Israel-hater Rachel Zegler, making sure pro-Israelis will be loathe to watch it. Is there some way to alienate neutral viewers too?

Responding to the numerous Zionist tweets attacking Zegler, filmmaker Ala Hamdan wrote: “Oops you made the genocide supporters so upset in the comments.”

While others applauded her for her bravery.

I didn't care much for you, but I'm your fan now! Anyone who supports the liberation of 2 mil people where half are children, trapped in a fish bowl waiting to be blown to pieces or starved to death by illegal occupiers, is my friend! Kudos
