Disney’s tone-deaf decision to cast the former soldier and the supporter of Zionism could not have come at a worse time

Entertainment giant Disney has chosen Israeli actress and former IOF soldier for the role of the evil queen in the Snow White live-action remake. The film is set to start production next year, where Gadot will act opposite Rachel Ziegler who is playing the titular character.

This decision has sparked outrage from fans and activists alike, as Gadot’s history is one tarnished with racist anti-Palestinian rhetoric.

Disney’s tone-deaf decision to cast the former soldier and supporter of Zionism could not have come at a worse time, as “Israel” is mounting an unscrupulous campaign to silence Palestinian voices everywhere and smother all remaining available walks of life in Palestine and besieged Gaza. This is blatantly apparent through its latest decision to list six Palestinian NGOs as “terrorists”, a claim debunked and refuted even by allies, pushing for the visa refusal of the delegation for the Palestinian civil society in order to bar them from attending the COP26 Summit in Glasgow, not to mention the attacks on the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in an effort to uproot its inhabitants as well as the massacres it perpetrated in May against civilians in Gaza.

In tandem, many have mocked this decision by describing Gadot as the perfect casting choice given that the Evil Queen exiles Snow White from her own land before then tracking her in order to kill her, adding sarcastically that casting a Palestinian actress in the eponymous role would bring the whole affair to a full circle.

The Zionist actress came into prominence in 2016 when she played the role of the comic book character Wonder Woman in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, before starring in a spin-off film about the character in 2017.

Wonder Woman was banned subsequently in Lebanon, Qatar, Tunisia, and Jordan following boycott calls from pro-Palestinian activists and the BDS campaign.

Gal Gadot says she possesses a strong connection to her Israeli identity, which becomes more apparent when taking into consideration the two years she served in the IOF as well as her staunch support of Israeli barbarism against the people of Palestine.

Take for example her 2014 stance towards the bombing of Gaza, where she posted the following:

Talk about Zionist supremacy.

In May 2021, Gadot attempted to comment on the then-ongoing Israeli war on Gaza by portraying her “state” as a victim.

The portrayal of the colonial apartheid “state” as a victim drew a wave of heated criticism and condemnation, notably as the official victim-to-victim ratio during the Seif al-Quds battle was widely incomparable: 212 Palestinian compared to 12 Israelis.

Disney has long depicted itself as a kid-friendly corporation, but its casting of the zionist actress reveals its dark truth: The company prefers the money soaked in the blood of martyred Palestinian children over having a moral stance.
