When #Disney’s #SnowWhite flopped, Hollywood quickly found a scapegoat: #RachelZegler. Media outlets like Variety pushed the narrative that her pro-Palestine stance alienated audiences, while Gal Gadot, a former IOF soldier who has openly defended "Israel’s" war on Gaza, faced no backlash for starring in the same film.

The industry’s bias is glaring: Those who speak for Palestine are punished, while those who defend an apartheid regime remain untouchable. But audiences are taking notice, and the growing boycotts against Hollywood’s complicity in "Israel's" genocide on #Gaza are clear proof that the tide is turning.
