Gal Gadot attacked on Twitter for being a ‘Zionist’

Gadot has not responded to the tweets

Israeli actress Gal Gadot, who will star in the upcoming Wonder Woman feature film, is being attacked on Twitter for being a “Zionist.”

Gadot, who was a fashion model and actress in Israel, and was Miss Israel 2004 before she broke into films, performed two years of compulsory service in the Israel Defence Forces.

Warner Bros. released its first official trailer for Wonder Woman over the weekend, leading to a great deal of social media chatter about the film and the actress.

Gadot has not responded to the tweets.

Wonder Woman is scheduled to open in theatres in June 2017. The character was introduced in DC Comics movies several months ago in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Gadot is also scheduled to appear in the superhero film Justice League, which comes out in November 2017.

Taking place during the World War I era, Wonder Woman will introduce the hero’s alter ego, Diana Prince, and her origins on the Amazonian island of Themyscira.
