In a new interview, "Snow White" star Gal Gadot argued the film was hurt at the box office by pressure on celebrities to speak out against Israel.

  • 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.

    This is the argument with my friend. Jolie is a good person, macklemoore is virtue signaling. She sacrificed a lot to change them little kids lives. Real change even if it’s only 3-4 people. Mackle moore just sings about it.

          So what are you doing, besides posting on Lemmy? Because unless you’re out there at protests, you aren’t even doing as much as Macklemore, who has been at protests.

          I’m going to bet you’re nothing more than a self-righteous keyboard warrior who refuses to do more than look down their nose and judge people.

            See? You’re actual the biggest beta here defending someone that wouldn’t even post on your fb page if you died. Secondly I DON’T have the ability to produce genuine change in the world, mac does. Instead he’s going on submarine rides with millionaires. Think more critically. If you need mac to tell you about the Gaza genocide, that sounds like you need to do some soul searching.

              “Biggest beta”

              Ah, I didn’t realize you were a Tate fan. There’s no point arguing with anyone who feels their self worth is based upon their perceived manliness, because you’re the kind of person who needs a bigger, stronger male to tell you what you should think.

              You’ll never be anything more than a follower of some influencer. That’s why you lack the ability to affect genuine change.
