        Yeeehp, just got back from the tax office earlier today where I confidently slammed a wad of cash down and said “Make sure Israel gets that!” because that’s definitely how it fucking works.

        Israel has been playing off and blackmailing our politicians for decades as it turns out. They managed to keep the wool over our eyes but if you try and take action now they try to get you. Soon they’ll be deporting us.

        Maybe we’ll all end up in YOUR country someday! Won’t that be FUN?

          Im indigenous, too late, you guys colonized and terrorized and pillaged and raped all you could out of my people. But one thing you guys love is policing the world and pointing the finger to distract from your own genocidal, maniacal culture

    Ok, I’ve seen these types of memes or posts inducing that gal gadot was on the bad side of Israel politics, is it real ? Has she said something or taken a stance against Palestine or pro-likud/netanyahu ?

      She’s a huge zionazi who refuses to denounce Israel’s actions. Who claims to “not talk politics” which translates to her talking about Israeli ‘hostages’ but never once mentioning the genocide of Palestinians. She blames pressure to speak out in defence of Palestine as the reason Snow White was a flop. And other shit.

      She’s pro- Israel.

      Israel criticises her for not being rabidly pro Israel enough however she never at any point has stood up against Israel or been pro Palestine. She’s just not actively foaming at the mouth shouting for the bombing of children like the Israeli regime would like. However she never says anything bad about Israel either so she’s very definitely pro genocide, just too cowardly to actively say it.

      Basically, she wishes to have her cake and eat it too. To appear civilised and liberal, to fit in with the Hollywood scene, while supporting a regime of barbarity and oppression.

      I don’t know her personal politics as I hate all celebrities on principle alone and try to pay as little attention to them as possible, but she’s former IDF. What more do you need?

      Edit: Yes I’m aware military service is compulsory, but since when is ‘just following orders’ an acceptable excuse?

        Your logic doesn’t follow. She is former IDF. As in she wasn’t even there during the current genocide. You have no idea what she even did. Majority of military service is logistics based. Just because she was forced to be a member doesn’t mean she supported what they did.

      Ok well I didn’t know, had a few doubt but never actually searched. Thx for your answers, and so now she’s on the list of “too bad to watch anymore”. There are conflicts, sides, and basic human empathy.
