Gal Gadot's Star Ceremony: A Political Storm
Hollywood, Los Angeles, USAWed Mar 19 2025
Political tensions spilled over during Gal Gadot's Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony. Pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian groups clashed, leading to a delay and police involvement. This was not a surprise. Gadot has been vocal about her support for Israel, especially after the October 7 attacks. She has used her platform to speak out against Hamas and advocate for hostages.
The protests were intense. Pro-Palestinian demonstrators held signs with strong messages. They criticized Gadot's support for Israel and the Israeli military. Some signs even referenced a documentary about Israeli actions in the West Bank. Videos showed protesters chanting slogans and being handcuffed by police. The crowd was divided, with nearly equal numbers on each side.
Gadot's political stance has been a hot topic. She has been open about her views since the October attacks. She has spoken out against the media's portrayal of the events and the hate she has witnessed. Gadot has made it clear that she stands for humanity and advocates for the hostages.
The ceremony itself was a mix of politics and Hollywood glamour. Gadot thanked key figures in her career, like Patty Jenkins and Vin Diesel. She kept her speech light, referring to herself as "just a girl from a town in Israel". This was a stark contrast to the heated protests outside.
The protests are part of a larger trend. Disney films have faced controversy due to the political views of their stars. Gadot's co-star, Rachel Zegler, has been vocal about her pro-Palestinian views. This has led to speculation about a rift between the two. Similarly, the film "Captain America: Brave New World" faced protests due to the inclusion of an Israeli superhero.
The political climate is tense. Stars like Gadot and Zegler are at the center of it. Their views on Israel-Palestine have sparked debates and protests. It's a reminder that even in Hollywood, politics can't be escaped.
