        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.
