(JEWISH GROUP) What Gal Gadot has said about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict

Not even a prince could save Disney’s live-action remake of Snow White, which had a grim debut this weekend.

With a budget of $250 million, the film only recouped $43 million at the box office. On the film review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a dismal average rating of 43%.

Even before Snow White hit cinemas, the film’s production was poisoned with controversy. On the day of the first trailer’s release, Rachel Zegler, who stars as Snow White, posted “and always remember, free palestine” on her X account.

Gadot was born in Petah Tikvah, a city in central Israel, and she was raised in a nearby city, Rosh Haayin. On her father’s side, her family has lived in the region for eight generations, including prior to Israel’s statehood. On her mother’s side, her grandfather is a Holocaust survivor. Her name was Hebraized from Greenstein to Gadot by her parents.

Her families "real" name wasn't Greenstein, because Jews didn't use surnames. We were forced to adopt last names starting in the late 1700s in Europe.

Even today we use our hebrew names in addition to our secular names because our real name is in hebrew using the "son of, daughter of" construction.

My real name is Moshe Ben Yisrael v'Yocheved.
