  • Gal Gadot suggested that political pressure on celebrities to speak out against Israel contributed to Disney’s Snow White underperforming at the box office, though she acknowledged other factors played a role.

  • The film, starring Gadot and Rachel Zegler, earned $87 million domestically compared to higher-performing Disney remakes; Zegler faced criticism for her pro-Palestine stance during promotion.

  • Gadot emphasized she enjoyed working with Zegler, said her “conscience is clean” regarding support for Israel, and expressed hope for peace and safety for all people.

Projections like always, it's her side who pressure antioccupation, threaten them and call them antisemitic

Or it could be that you were great in he first Wonder Woman movie but you’re not really a great actress

I did not like the Wonder Woman movie; it dehumanized the soldiers too much and it reminded me of fascist themes

Yeah, that was my first exposure to her and because of it I thought she was pretty good!

Turns out that when her character was supposed to act weird and like she didn't know what was going on, it wasn't actually Gadot acting, but her lack of skill worked out for that particular movie.

She was not great. It was mediocre at best

Gal Gadot, had previous to Snow White casting or PR tour, openly blessed Israel's genocide. I doubt that her repeating zionazi views in promoting film would have improved box office. There was a zionazi campaign against the film because the "hero" was anti-genocide, even with Gadot, as villain, a key part of the film.

Publicity for this zionazi hasbara of blaming box office on lack of full zionazi dedication of the studio, is yet another example of absolute zionazi control over US politics and media through giving neutral toned attention to Gadot despite her objectively anti-human demonism.
