While she has been largely silent on Israel since the end or 2023, and you could argue that silence is support, it's unfair and weakens your argument to use her IDF service against her/evidence. Service is compulsory and she served long before the current events in Palestine.

I'm sorry, but these days silence just isn't enough. Silence is complacency and acceptance. Silence is fear for the affect that your public image has on your acting career, and prioritizing your comfort over your ability to change people's minds.

Also she literally gave a pro-israel speech 2 months ago at the "Anti Defamation League", which considers anti-Zionism as Antisemitic & praised the Trump administration's actions against Mahmood Khalil

EDIT: Found additional reasons to dislike the ADL

Agreed! And those are legitimate reasons to criticize her. I just wanted to point out that criticizing her for something that doesn't make sense weakens the argument as a whole.

To be fair, the current events in Palestine are a continuation of decades of the same events. Compulsory service is a good point though.
