After the conflict between Palestine and Israel broke out again, Gail Gadot posted on Twitter on the 12th to express her "heartbreak" because her "country is in a state of war". As tensions in the disputed part of Jerusalem have recently intensified, Israeli and Hamas militants have unleashed deadly rocket attacks on each other.

The actor tweeted: "It's a vicious cycle that has lasted too long. Israel should live as a free and secure nation, and so should our neighbours. I pray for the victims and their families. I pray that this unimaginable hostility will come to an end, and I pray that our leaders will find a solution so that we can coexist peacefully. ”
Some Twitter users immediately criticized Gayle Gadot's military experience online, accusing her of supporting "ethnic cleansing" and "mass genocide." However, Gail Gadot then turned off her Tweet comment feature.

According to Fox News, one user reminded: "Gail Gadot, who served in the Israel Defense Forces for two years, not only witnessed ethnic cleansing against Palestine, but also actively supported it." When you are on the front lines of terrorism, how can you advocate for the suppression of the vicious circle of terrorism? ”
One netizen wrote, "When we say we want to boycott Gail Gadot, people say we're exaggerating. [But] Gail Gadot was a propaganda tool for her Government and the occupying forces she had served for. She didn't even say the word Palestine. It should be thrown into the garbage heap of history. ”
Conflict between Palestine and Israel has resumed
However, there was also support for Gail Gadot's call for peace, noting that all Israeli citizens over the age of 18 were required to perform military service. One netizen wrote: "People express their anger at Gail Gadot online because she is a veteran of the Israel Defense Forces (all Israeli adults must serve in the army for at least two years) and dared to share a heartwarming message of peace in times of conflict." There are a lot of disgusting people in the comments under her tweet. ”
U.S. Republican Senator Ted Cruz expressed his support for the actress, tweeting: "God bless @Gail Gadot". (Editor: HHJ)
