Would you watch a movie with a Russian actor who served in the military?

She served in the Israeli occupation forces. Would you watch a movie with a Russian actor who served in the military?
Most people? Unless said actor is actively militant in favour of Russia government, individuals are not responsible for their contry’s crimes.
But Gal Gadot actively militates in favour of Israel and it’s military.
They’ll find a way to blame Rachel Zeigler for this.
The one person who was going to see it will be so disappointed!
it s not even worth pirating
She’s also a shite actress
It is a shit movie anyway.
removed by mod
She also served in the Israeli military.
Isn’t military service mandatory in Israeli?
They either have the choice of deferring and spending 1-2 months in jail, or serving and committing crimes against humanity.
Did she commit any crimes against humanity then?
You know that’s a very serious accusation right?
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
The institution she was a part of did.
Extraordinary horror like genocide require extraordinary measure.
Ya know, like (gasp) censoring a shitty Disney movie lmao
As far as I can tell when she served she only helped train the troops who were committing the war crimes on-the-ground.
She’s also been steadfast in her support for Israel, promoting the propaganda about the mass systematic rapes by Hamas on Oct 7th which no evidence of has come to light in over a year. While also having nothing to say about the systemic torture and rapes of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons, which include the torture and sexual assault of Palestinian children, and silence about the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. She served the IDF for 2 years and is still a steadfast supporter. That shows she is aware of the war crimes the IDF commits and supports them. Otherwise she would be on Breaking the Silence.

Her going on actual raids in Lebanon or piloting the bombs or air strikes is not a requirement for people to boycott or Lebanon to ban the movie.
If people in the 1930-40s boycotted a movie featuring a soldier that served in Nazi Germany (because of the acts of Nazi Germany), despite that soldier not seeing action, that would be just as justified. Especially if that soldier still supported Nazi Germany.
How long do you think the planet should have boycotted American citizens after the President Truman approved 2 nuclear bomb attacks on civilian cities to scare the Japanese emperor into capitulation?
A couple years? Zero boycott? Cuz its the USA and you always have the best end result in mind, so it justifies the means?
Israelis retaliation against Gaza has killed around 100k at the highest estimates…. how many Iraqi citizens and children were killed from 2002-2022? More than 100k?
if so, does that make Americans more genocidal and colonistic? if they killed more people for a foreign invasion thousands of miles from the USA?
or was it all okay cuz 9/11?
I don’t live in the USA, and boycott them too.
Either way, your argument is a strawman, because Israel is still actively committing genocide, and there’s multiple sources of evidence of Netanyahu also funding Hamas. It’s also incredibly unlikely one of the world’s top surveillance tech states, that was able to do a supply chain attack via beepers, was also blind sided by what happened October 7th.
And lastly, USA wasn’t seeking to colonize Iraq or even your disingenuous comparison to WW2 Japan - Israel has been building illegal settlements on the other hand for years.

US was seeking to make Iraq a stable US-friendly regime.
i cannot understand possibly what in your brain is telling you they weren‘t. thats identical to israels intent with gaza. identical.
talking blindsided terror attacks justifying wars, what about 9/11 warning? US engaged in a 20+ yr occupation, genocide, etc causing DIRECTLY over 2 million civilians dead and displaced.
why do you give the US a pass? and crucify israel over 100k dead?
what literally is the difference to you? why are you not online being anti-USA? they killed at minimum over 10x more civilians after 9/11
Literally am anti USA to the point I left long ago, and have avoided US products as much as possible since before it was popular due to Trump.
However, again, the Iraq war has ended, and the USA was literally not sending Americans to permanently live in Iraq while killing every Iraqi possible.
Israel’s intent with Gaza is to wipe out Palestinians in Gaza entirely and make Gaza part of Israel.
And lastly, this whole argument is a strawman because this post was about Gal Gadot. But good try at derailment, troll. It failed this time so I guess you’ll get a pay deduction from Netanyahu. Or at least, I’d hope you weren’t so stupid to be doing this for free.
Either way, you’re a despicable human for trying to excuse genocide in any way, including whataboutism, and part of why humanity cannot advance further as a species. I can only hope you feel shame at yourself, for only through that would you have any redemption.
Okay dude do you REALLY believe the goal is to kill all muslims from Israel?
Bro. I am an American living in Europe. I dont „work for netanyahu“
THIS behavior and comment is exactly why I think people on this site are antisemetic.
The fact you just considered Gaza as part of Israel is telling.
But yes, that’s they’re goal. Or you can hear it from some members of their government themselves (linked articles contain linked sources as well)
And here’s detailed reports on why what is occurring is a genocide attempt:

That’s even sadder. At least if you were paid there might be decent motive for your comments. Instead, it is just out of ignorance, willful or not.
Israel has been bombing Lebanon. This doesn’t seem like an issue of difference of opinions.
They also banned Schindler’s List.
It is a difference of opinion. About whether or not Jews should exist.

So no movies with anyone jewish or israeli?
Like americans sending japanese to camps, do you really think this is the appropriate target for people protesting the Israeli rightwing majority party?
i think its odd to ban jewish products and people due to the actions of a government body they are not a member of and have zero impact on.
its like being pissed at german bakers for hitlers policies in world war 2.
Ww2 or the Japanese internment camps, aren’t currently happening right now and continuing to happen. If they were they’d elicit the same reaction and actions. That makes you a contributor to what’s happening if you fund it, or patronize it.
yeah but you did cause the entire middle eastern scenario we see today. USA invades iraq and overthrows saddam, killing around a million civilians and displacing around 2 million more.
your country. not israel.
the power vaccuum leads to syrian civil war and isis.
we‘re talking millions dead due to USA policies.
so who should countries be banning? Gal Gadot from Israel?
Or you, from the USA?
Is it at all like that? Or is it like sanctioning a country for its crimes, like sanctions on Russia for the Ukraine invasion?
Should the world sanction the US for its CIA destablizing nations across tje globe for the past 80 years? What about the deaths and displacement of millions of Iraqi citizens post 9/11 (that had something to do with Iraq, right?)
Do you really think, as an AMERICAN, the world should start punishing citizens abroad for their leaders actions? Whether or not they support them or have anything to do with their nations decision-making apparatus?
Jewish ok.
Israeli boycott.
or what about boycotting americans for their causing almost every problem we face today?
their election of bush… leads to over 2 million civilians dead and displaced in Iraq, which led to the Syrian war (multi millions dead), migration crises in europe, talking tens of millions of human lives destroyed.
due to americans voting to elect a guy they wanted to have a beer with (george w).
should we ban your citizens? because you cause almost every single issue being dealt with today on earth.
I mean should the world ban Americans due to many of them voting to elect Trump? Its cool with all Israelis too? Don‘t come back with the „she served in the military“ when its a requirement for citizenship in Israel, as it is in Austria where I live.
If she supports right wing Netanyahu policies of displacing palestinians, then yes, ban her.
If she has nothing to do with israeli policies other than her place of birth…well i dont understand you in any way.
I dont blame individuals for the actions of their shit leaders unless they actively are supporting those shit leaders and those actions.
I mean should the world ban Americans due to many of them voting to elect Trump?
European here. I would support a travel ban for Americans.
You can still ask for asylum
In case anyone has any doubts this is just a troll arguing in bad faith, and just a terrible human in general (explains why they defend genocide):
Nooooooo not my Disney live action remake slop
While I have no interest in this movie and I think Gal Godot sucks, banning movies is akin to banning books.
Yeah, boycotting is a better word.
How about a general ban on Israeli products?
This is an American film with an Israeli actress.
They mean Jew.
I think they quite literally mean former IDF soldier, Gal Godot.
Redditors hate Jews and we got plenty of both. This will be interesting
it’s a remake of gal gadot and it has disney in it, it’s absolutely the best idea to ban it
Banning books, like banning movies, is a great way to admit publicly that your position is so weak you can’t tolerate any dissent. Let the power of your ideals stand on their own.
Edit: ok I’m going to leave this up here because I’m a masochist, but ok I get it. I’m with you guys. Boycott Gal Godot. Ban is functionally a boycott. In the US, this movie would never get banned, but I would 100% boycott it. I didn’t fully think this through and I agree with most of you guys.
So a blanket ban of any books that acknowledge the existence of LGBTQ+ people and banning a single Disney movie for having a war criminal lead actress are exactly the same thing to you? You really can’t tell the difference?
removed by mod
she is one of the strongest supporters of the Wehrmacht and their ongoing genocide, even after enthusiastically serving in it
also I’ve heard she’s an awful actor (not that I would know, I don’t watch capeshit). She’s bombed box offices across the planet
So, in answer to my question, she wasn’t.
Was Adolf Hitler convicted for the Holocaust?
Were slave owners in the US convicted for crimes against humanity?
If they weren’t, then I am powerless to do anything but defend their innocence. I am very smart.
Do you think Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal? What about Joe Biden or Donald Trump?
Yes. No. No.
Okay so you agree that you don’t need to be convicted of war crimes to be called a war criminal?
You think Lebanon’s position against being invaded by Zionists and having their innocent civilians and children bombed to death is weak because they banned a movie?
Their position against being invaded is weak because they spent twenty years failing to keep Hezbollah from attacking Israel which is why they got invaded.
Except that Hezbollah formed due to the invasion by Israelis in 1982 but I get it, you liberals refuse to open a history book for once in your lives.
We’re talking about the present conflict.
You motherfucking libs actually expect geopolitics to work on a basis of “no takesies backsies”

No. Because most people would agree that attacking someone means you can’t complain when you get attacked.

first they came for the disney remakes starring war criminals or whatever, and there was no one left to speak
Except in this case, the thing being banned has no message they’re trying to repress. They’re targeting a person who’s in it.
Snow White promotes the insidious falsehood that apples are poison
I need you to understand that Mein Kampf is a banned book and so you are currently claiming the case against literal NSDAP Nazism is so weak it can’t tolerate dissent.
You need to either do some self crit and disentangle yourself from liberal idealism or get the fuck out of here.
Mein Kampf actually isn’t banned in the US or most of the world. It’s banned in Germany for obvious reasons.
Why are you repeating what I just told you as if you’re contradicting me? Mein Kampf is banned, and not because of any weakness in the case against it.
What? Mein Kampf is not banned almost anywhere in the world barring few exceptions mostly regulating it’s copyright or printing new copies.
Yeah sure just debate Nazis in the fReE mArKeTpLaCe Of IdEaS! I’m gonna end it there because what I have to say is much less civil.
How about we don’t let Disney try to profit off a movie starring a Zionist in a country that just got invaded by the Zionist Entity?
Do you think the abstract concept of dissent is the only reason to censor something? Because be clear here, the film isn’t proposing dissent in Lebanon. It’s slop made for a quick bit of money to go on Disney’s big pile of money, and it stars a war criminal who worked for an agency that likes to kill Lebanese people . Yeah Gal Gadot dissents against the idea that Lebanon shouldn’t be sent exploding pagers
Yeah I guess ban and boycott mean different things to me, but you’re right. Functionally this is a boycott and I support boycotting this movie. Fair point.
Upvoting for the edit. It’s rare to see people doing self crit and changing their position after having it explained to them why their initial position is wrong. I wish I saw it more often.
A remake of gal gadot
There’s a huge difference between the reasons for such a ban. This wasn’t a movie with political content antagonist to Lebanon government. This ban is probably to make a statement for both outside and inside the country. To show how normalized the violence against them is widespread in our media industry. But you can read in this action whatever you like… Sure…
Ps. Have you seen Waltz with Bashir? Hell of an animated movie.
I don’t think there is a need to ban a movie if no one cares to see it anyway.
Gal Godot can end up like all the rest of the IDF, in my opinion.
I bet she just can’t wait for her beach front property built on the bones and blood of dead Palestinian children. I personally boycott her (and many others) movies, but banning a movie no body asked for, nor wanted is giving it more hype than it’s do.
Rachel Zeigler is gonna get banned in pro israel places too
Lebanon people lost nothing of value
The Gal Gadot hype in the 2010’s was always overdone. Reviews of Wonder Woman at the time noted her lack of acting skills and that the same lack of skills made it hard to take that Justice League movie seriously.
Rhea Ripley should have been Wonder Woman. Then again, she got lucky by avoiding that god awful anti-communist sequel.
Anything anti-communist can’t be outright bad. Someone must eradicate this brainrot like my forebears did in 90s
What was anti-communist about it?
I don’t watch the cape slop anymore so I don’t know what happened there in particular.
What was anti-communist about it?
it was bad, and communism is good
