(JTA) — The Israeli movie star Gal Gadot was so moved by the deepening conflict in her country that she posted a message to her 53 million Instagram followers on May 12. 

“My heart breaks,” the “Wonder Woman” star, who served in the Israeli army, wrote Wednesday, May 12.n“My country is at war. I worry for my family, my friends. I worry for my people. This is a vicious cycle that has been going on for far too long. Israel deserves to live as a free and safe nation. Our neighbors deserve the same … I pray for better days.”

Gadot was one of countless celebrities to weigh in on the conflict. Almost all blaming Israel for being the aggressor and instigator of the conflict. In response to her post, Gadot was hit with an avalanche of anti-Israel comments — as was Rhianna (see below). 

Here’s are just a few examples of what celebs are writing:

Natalie Portman
Portman has criticized Israel’s government in the past — perhaps most notably in her refusal to accept the Genesis Prize, nicknamed the “Jewish Nobel,” in Jerusalem over her disapproval of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. On May 11, the Israeli-American star reposted a series of images amplified on Instagram by fellow Oscar winner Viola Davis titled “What To Know About Sheikh Jarrah,” the contested neighborhood of eastern Jerusalem where Israeli courts have threatened to evict Palestinian families in four houses.

Malala
The Nobel Peace Prize-winning Pakistani activist recorded a video message in which she expressed her “solidarity” with the Palestinians and called Israel’s actions a crime against humanity. “After decades of oppression against Palestinians, we cannot deny the asymmetry of power and the brutality from Israeli air strikes on women and children in Gaza,” she said.

Mark Ruffalo
The movie star and known activist called for sanctions on Israel in a tweet: “1500 Palestinians face expulsion in #Jerusalem. 200 protesters have been injured. 9 children have been killed. Sanctions on South Africa helped free its black people – it’s time for sanctions on Israel to free Palestinians. Join the call. #SheikhJarrah.”

Roger Waters
The former Pink Floyd frontman is a longtime anti-Israel activist and prominent supporters of a cultural boycott oft Israel. He posted a Twitter video calling for what he calls the “genocidal removal of people from their homes.” He also says he is starting a new campaign to get FIFA to stop allowing international soccer matches against Israel.

Halsey
The pop singer known for hits like “Without Me,” which has well over a billion Spotify streams, tweeted a note that ends with #FreePalestine and maintains that “It is not ‘too complicated to understand’ that brown children are being murdered + people are being displaced under the occupation of one of the most powerful armies in the world. It is willful ignorance to conflate these simple horrors with religion + geopolitics.” 

AND THE OSCAR FOR MOST ANTISEMITIC POST GOES TO…VEENA MALIK
Veena Malik, an actress who has starred in over a dozen Pakistani and Bollywood films and shows, tweeted a series of antisemitic remarks about the ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict, including what she described as a quote about killing Jews by, Adolf Hitler (she was wrong).

“I would have killed all the Jews of the world … but I kept some to show the world why I killed them,” Malik tweeted Tuesday, May 11.

She also tweeted “#IronDome is doomed” with a laughing emoji, referencing Israel’s missile defense system, which has been overwhelmed by rockets fired from Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Evidently, she’s hoping rockets kill Israeli children. 

By Wednesday afternoon, all of the tweets were gone from her account. No apology offered. The only remaining one about the conflict was a retweet of Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan urging the “international community” to “take immediate action to protect the Palestinian people and their rights.”

THEN THERE’S…RIHANNA
Grammy-winning pop star Rihanna called for an end to the Israel-Gaza violence, saying her “heart is breaking” in a rare show of solidarity for both the Israeli and Palestinian sides by a mainstream U.S. celebrity. “Innocent Israeli and Palestinian children are hiding in bomb shelters…There needs to be some kind of resolve! We are sadly watching innocent people fall victim to notions perpetuated by government and extremists, and this cycle needs to be broken!” she wrote on Instagram to her over 95 million followers. 

Rihanna’s stance unsurprisingly drew an array of responses. Dozens of commenters praised the statement. But the singer’s post also drew dozens of comments with the hashtag #FreePalestine.
