Entertainment Desk May 16, 2021

Israeli actor Gal Gadot has released a statement over the ongoing atrocities in Palestine. Taking to social media, the Wonder Woman star shared, "My heart breaks. My country is at war. I worry for my family, my friends. I worry for my people."

She went on to add, "This is a vicious cycle that has been going on for far too long. Israel deserves to live as a free and safe nation. Our neighbors deserve the same. I pray for the victims and their families, I pray for this unimaginable hostility to end, I pray for our leaders to find the solution so we could live side by side in peace. I pray for better days.”

Soon after her stance, there was a furore on social media while many called out the actor for siding with the oppressors. Pakistani actors Gohar Rasheed and Osman Khalid Butt, too, took to social media and shared their two cents on the matter.

"Gal Gadot, your country is not at war, It has created a war," the Ishqiya star tweeted, adding, "No patriotism is bigger than innocent people's lives and humanity and if you can’t be mind full of that being an Israeli then it’s very evident that where the problem lies. Hope you realise it soon."

@GalGadot your country is not at war, It has created a war. No patriotism is bigger then innocent people lives and humanity and if you can’t be mind full of that being an Israeli then it’s very evident that where the problem lies. Hope you realise it soon.

At least 149 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the violence began on Monday, including 41 children, health officials said. Israel has reported 10 dead, including two children.

Envoys from the United States, United Nations and Egypt were working to restore calm but have yet to show any signs of progress. The UN Security Council was due to meet later on Sunday to discuss the worst outbreak of Israeli-Palestinian violence in years.

deavman | 3 years ago | Reply Jews have the audacity to protect themselves from terrorists shameful. We love jews when they are quiet persecuted or even better dead. If they are independent strong successful and proud how are we going to be able to claim we are their defenders. sarcasm

Marv | 3 years ago | Reply It s a very simple equation. If Hamas and Islamic Jihad stop firing rockets from Gaza Israel would never attack Gaza. If Israel stopped attacking in response Hamas would destroy Israeli cities kill more of its men women and children and continue firing indiscriminately into civilian population centers a war crime without even bothering to hide its weapons in hospitals schools and residential apartment buildings also a war crime . The article notes the numbers of those killed in the current fighting. How many of the Palestinians killed were killed by rocket fire from Gaza that fell short Hamas and Islamic Jihad care not one bit about their own citizens. As long as they attack Israel that is all that matters. Gohar Rasheed and Osman Khalid Butt say they stand with Palestine Well if they really read truthful accounts in newspapers or online media they would know that such a stance means they are supporting war crimes and a continuation of this violence. If they really stand with Palestine they would be working toward the elimination of Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists from Gaza so that the peaceful citizens of Gaza could have fairness safety prosperity and peace.

Test | 3 years ago | Reply Palestinian will always live in poverty they invest in war vessels instead of schools and hospitals. They need their poverty to engage the world for their fake misery so they will be able to continue to invest in vessels to destroy. Wherever they go all you will see is masques and poverty. Look at their neighborhoods in Europe always complaining and never building for themselves nothing positive.

RAHUL MAURYA | 3 years ago | Reply I dont understand how you people say Israel has 10 deaths. Israel protects their citizens thats why dearhs are less. Gaza sent 3200 rockets in 10 days just imagine what Israel need to do. You people cry foul victim.
