It's been a month since the terrorist attacks on Israel perpetrated by Hamás on October 7, which left more than 1,400 killed, and around 240 people are still kept hostages in the Gaza Strip by the terrorist organization, leading to a conflict with no end in sight and a humanitarian crisis inside the Palestinian territory.
Israel's response to the attacks on Gaza has led to criticisms and calls for a ceasefire around the world, calling out 'the complete disregard for civilians' as the death toll rises to 10,000 people killed in the Strip due to Israel's bombing and ground campaign, with one of the main critics being former adult star Mia Khalifa.
Mia Khalifa's criticism to Gal Gadot
Recently, Israeli actress and former IDF soldier, Gal Gadot announced that she will organize a screening in Los Angeles and New York City of a 47-minute video provided by the Israeli government of last month's Hamás attacks, which led to criticism from Mia Khalifa.
Mia Khalifa, who is a Lebanese-American and has shown her support for Palestine since the current conflict started, quoted on her Twitter / X account an article of a past comment she made about Gadot calling her 'Genocide Barbie', and quoting an article of said screening saying 'I've been trying to tell y'all…"
Two sides of the coin
Mia Khalifa's support for Palestine has led her to lose endorsements and deals, as Playboy ended her partnership with the model and lost her podcast, with Canadian broadcaster Todd Shapiro firing her 'effect immediately' for her comments regarding the conflict.
On the other hand, Gal Gadot joined more than 700 celebrities showing their support for Israel back on October 17, alongside Amy Schummer, Jerry Seinfeld, and Mark Hammil. The Wonder Woman actress was born in Israel and served in the IDF as a combat fitness instructor for two years at 20, as a part of her mandatory military service.
