Gadot, 36, who was born in Israel, is part of the growing number of celebrities, including Gigi and Bella Hadid, to speak about the ongoing airstrikes between Israel and Palestinian groups.
Her tweet has been slammed on Twitter with many reminding the Israeli born actress of her days in IDF, the military service of the country. Multiple people accused her of supporting ethnic cleansing and mass genocide for wishing peace in her country- Israel. Gal Gadot s statement is far worse than that tone-deaf imagine video from last year. Free and Safe . The same state that is perpetrating military occupation, land theft and ethnic cleansing against the people of Palestine. #FreePalestine, wrote one user.

While the message is a little bland for my tastes, I have no problem with it. It’s a positive message wanting peace and I can certainly appreciate it, especially from someone who is from Israel.
But judging from the responses by the woke mob, you’d have thought she was calling for the genocide of Palestinians or something:
I pray that you develop the ability to say “Palestine” and “Palestinians,” not to mention “occupation.” https://t.co/0Qf34Dnwhq
Did she just say my country?!! THE FCKING AUDACITY in these ppl is unimaginable
They invade and steal a country that is not theirs then call it my country what a fckin joke
