Gal Gadot, aka the Amazonian warrior we all know and love, has decided to speak up about her stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict. And let’s just say, she’s not here to play PR chess—she’s here to keep it real.
For those who missed the memo, our 39-year-old Snow White (who could probably also knock you out with one punch) was once a soldier in the Israel Defense Forces, thanks to her country’s compulsory military service. After the October 7 attacks, she wasted no time expressing her feelings, sharing a heart-wrenching message about the horrors unfolding. It included words like “praying” and “heart aching,” so you know she meant business.
Of course, because this is the internet and no one can say anything without someone somewhere getting mad, she faced some backlash. (Shocking, right?)
Now, in a brand-new interview, Gal decided to take a break from being a goddess-like action star to remind the world that she’s also a human being with opinions. Speaking to Variety, she explained, “After October 7th, I don’t talk politics—because honestly, who cares what a celebrity thinks about politics?” (A rare and refreshing self-awareness.)
But, plot twist! She added, “That day, when people were abducted from their homes, I had to speak up. I was shocked at how much people think they know when they actually have no idea.”
Translation: Y’all are arguing in the comments section with Wikipedia-level knowledge, and it’s getting embarrassing.
Gal went on to drop a little history lesson about her family, revealing that she’s the grandchild of a Holocaust survivor and an eighth-generation Israeli. So, when she speaks on these topics, it’s not because she’s looking for retweets—it’s because this is deeply personal.
And when it comes to the criticism she’s faced? Oh, she’s unbothered. “When your compass is clear, your conscience is clean,” she said. In other words, she’s sleeping like a baby while Twitter warriors stay up at 2 a.m. typing in ALL CAPS.
To sum it up, Gal is out here advocating for hostages, praying for peace, and somehow managing to stay elegant while internet chaos swirls around her. A true Wonder Woman move.
Meanwhile, over 700 Hollywood big shots signed an open letter condemning Hamas and supporting Israel. Because if there’s one thing Hollywood loves, it’s a good ol’ fashioned petition.
Moral of the story: Gal Gadot is gonna say what she wants, critics be darned, and she’ll still look flawless doing it.
