Israel Honors Gal Gadot for 'Supporting Gaza Genocide'
Gal Gadot, the Israeli actor, has been awarded the Genesis Prize for her 'moral courage' in supporting Israel's actions in Gaza. This isn't just about celebrating a celebrity; it’s about a state-sponsored attempt to sanitize an ethnic cleansing campaign that, as of April 2024, has killed over 34,000 Palestinians, predominantly women and children, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. The prize,
often dubbed the 'Jewish Nobel,' appears to now acknowledge, if not outright reward, complicity in what the International Court of Justice is investigating as plausible genocide. This 'courage' is lauded alongside a backdrop of Israel dropping 65,000 tons of bombs on Gaza by December 2023—an explosive force equivalent to six Hiroshima bombs, as reported by +972 Magazine. Meanwhile, aid convoys are
blocked, and famine looms. Gadot's $1 million prize will reportedly go to pro-Israel charities. One might wonder whom this 'courage' truly serves, and how many Palestinian lives it took to earn it.
