It is mandatory for every Israeli over 18 to serve in the army (Israeli Arabs have a choice to opt out). Why? Because Israel has been under the threat of jihadist obliteration since the day of its birth. Even before that, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Mohammed Amin al-Husseini, lead the Arab Revolt to keep Jews out of the region.
Gadot’s tweet below led to a firestorm back in May during Operation Guardian of the Walls, when Israel was left with no other alternative but to defend its citizens from a barrage of Hamas rocketfire:
To Israel’s antagonists, Israel does not deserve to live “as a free and safe nation.” In their view, Israel only deserves to be obliterated, as documented in the charter of every major Palestinian organization, and as is evident from the attack on Israel by surrounding Arab nations on the day of its birth. Those nations were of one accord….
“It will be a war of annihilation. It will be a momentous massacre in history that will be talked about like the massacres of the Mongols or the Crusades.”

Islamic antisemitism is rooted in Islam, and it spreads under the guise of opposing the State of Israel because of its status as an “occupying,” “apartheid” state, regardless of the falsity of these claims.
“‘Death on the Nile’ banned in two Middle East countries over Gal Gadot’s Israeli military service,” by Jesse O’Neill, New York Post, February 12, 2022:
Israeli movie star Gal Gadot’s new Hollywood film will reportedly not appear on the big screen in Lebanon and Kuwait due to her connection to the Israel Defense Forces.
“Death on the Nile” was being released in the rest of the Middle East over the weekend, according to Deadline.
Gadot, 36, served in the Israeli armed forces for two years, as is required of all young Israelis, before she entered show business.
It’s not the first time the former Miss Israel’s nationality has caused controversy as tensions persist between the two warring nations. Lebanon also blocked her “Wonder Woman” films over her IDF ties.
The ban was in accordance with a law that boycotts Israeli products and bars Lebanese citizens from traveling to Israel or having contacts with Israelis.
Kuwait banned “Death on the Nile” after a barrage of protests on social media, according to The Daily Mail, which cited the Arabic language newspaper Al-Qabas….

I think if you check, very few men or women in Israel do not serve a term in the IDF.

Is there anything, other than Mo’s teachings, that these wankers don’t find to be offensive?
You could put a mudslime into the garden of eden where they would get multiple orgasms 4 times a day and they would still find something to whine about.
James Lincoln says
Keith O,
They may “whine” even after they finally get their 72 virgins.
mortimer says
Reply to Keith: it’s all about ‘HONOR’ in Islam. This is an ‘HONOR/SHAME’ culture. Whatever doesn’t praise Islam or increase the ‘IMAGE’ of Islam is immediately going to be ‘Islamophobic’.
Anything the increases the ‘image’ and ‘honor’ of Israel must be refuted and cancelled. Unfounded CALUMNY against kafirs is a duty when the kafirs are resisting Islamic supremacism. Lies become ‘HALAL’ when the kafirs are doing everything properly and honorably.
The Muslims realize they are inventing slanders.
Keith O says
Mortimer, the concept of honour in islam is abhorrent.
As a retired digger I can understand why honour is so important to a lot of people. But anything that is even remotely honourable is in no way shape or form associated with islam and the barbarians whom are part of it.
As a comparison, a low life like Joe Biden has more honour in his little finger than every head banging, knuckle dragging turd with a dish cloth wrapped around it’s head.
Wellington says
And yet Gal Gadot, in her depiction of Wonder Woman, conveyed herself as one virtually divorced from the original American exceptionalism portrayed by Wonder Woman. Rather like women’s sports getting their “comeuppance” because now males posing as women (e.g., Lia Thomas at Penn) have taken over much of women’s sports even though this is idiotic in the extreme since there are only males and females from birth and everything else is a giant nonsense, a giant lie, i.e., disorders masquerading as wonderful lifestyles.
Sorry, but I have little sympathy with Gadot, though her banning by Lebanon and Kuwait comes as no surprise. Align with evil, deny the exceptionalism of the West, especially America, well then, expect the worst. Her Wonder Woman portrayal was a disgrace and so live with it, Gal Gadot. Feed evil and ignorance, ignore greatness and uniqueness, then expect a cascading effect into total Negative Land.
A la Luther at the Diet of Worms in 1521: Here I stand, I can do no other.

Yeah–I wasn’t a fan of the the first Wonder Woman movie she starred in (I haven’t seen the later ones). But most of this was because of the depressing script, and not Gadot’s performance, which I thought was quite good.
Frank Anderson says
G.I. I believe Linda Carter acted in the television series. Again, asking for correction if I am in error, her husband was involved in a mess as Clark Clifford’s protege. Unlike my ex, she stood by him. I will always honor and respect her loyalty having felt the contrast in my own experience.
gravenimage says
Sounds like they have a good relationship, Frank.
Frank Anderson says
GI, I believe I have a similar relationship now: Still going after about 20 years, wishing it had been 50, instead of the disappointments I had before. Goof examples give vital hope to keep trying.
gravenimage says
Lebanon and Kuwait ban Israeli actress Gal Gadot’s new movie because she served in the IDF
………….
How *dare* Gal Godot have defended her nation against Jihad destruction? Bad dhimmi!
As far as I’m concerned, she really is Wonder Woman.
Frank Anderson says
GI, such ideas would be dangerous to a male dominated slave society. Strong women do not make good slaves. I proved that when I gave my birth mother the strength and self respect she needed to escape her misery. You know the story!
VICTOR COWEN says
Like pathetic children, I have no idea how you can deal with brainless minds like theirs.
I suppose it’s because the ‘leaders’ have no public to answer to.
Frank Anderson says
V.C., while in law school I became interested in the subject of negotiating by recording mock negotiating sessions for a class. I did not have time or money to take the class but found and read 6 books on the subject. ALL of the authors agreed that in order for ANY negotiation to have any hope of success, the parties must be able to trust each other and demonstrate permanent respect. Islam proclaims from its beginning that all promises are worthless, even to other muslims. It also proclaims that any promises are good only so long as they are convenient.
The point to be taken is that negotiating under those rules fully disclosed and known for 1400 years with a counterpart who follows an unchangeable set of rules is totally futile. The people who engage in such fraud should be treated as liars and con artists. They are selling lies to a public which always wishes to “give the benefit of the doubt” to avoid facing the reality of evil. Those who claim to negotiate under such conditions are either aware of the futility and active collaborators or are actively ignoring what is well-known. Deliberate ignorance constitutes knowledge of the truth. We are being betrayed by collaborators.
Unlike many in “our” leadership, islam makes no secret of the rules it follows. Yet billions are spent trying to change the unchangeable rules by futile negotiation just to put on a meaningless show.

“The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Mohammed Amin al-Husseini, lead the Arab Revolt to keep Jews out of the region”.
And why did Husseini do that? Because that’s what Mo did.
“I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula and will not leave any but Muslim.” (Sahih Muslim, Bk 019, No 4366).
Pray Hard says
Consider it an honor.
OLD GUY says
Hollywood should pay attention to this. When Islam gains control of America all those movie and TV stars, producers and Hollywood elite’s will be destroyed. Islam doesn’t allow for entertainment of men other than the RAPE of young girls. Life under Islam is not diverse it proclaims that everyone should be miserable and totally obedient to the Islamic dictator.
STOP the migration invasion of Muslims and Islamic followers!
