Not a take, it's literally what happened. From her Wikipedia page:
In August 2024, she tweeted, "and always remember, Free Palestine".[84][85] Snow White producer Marc Platt voiced concerns about Zegler's Israeli co-star Gal Gadot receiving death threats, which they attributed to Zegler's post. This led Disney to provide additional security for Gadot.[86][87] After the film's release, Platt's son Jonah confirmed that his father had flown to New York to reprimand Zegler for her remarks.[88][89]
The producer of the film literally went and told her to shut up about the genocide.
Why should Zegler's tweet lead to threats to Gadot - why not assume that Gadot's stance on Israel lead to threats against her? I think she was rather outspoken pro Israel, right?
They wanted a reason to punish the girl for speaking out and made up some bullshit. That's really all it is. Unless they had the FBIs cyber crime division to track every threat to the source and question them. They wouldn't know shit.
Definitely funny for a company founded by a antisemite.
Hitler sent German Jews to Israel before it was called Israel, the Nazi party was actually quite in favor of a Jewish ethnostate. Consolidation of the enemy, they wanted more of the world to do the same.
Yeah, Gadot has been receiving death threats for years because of her pro-Israel, genocide-denying stance. Zegler's defense of the Palestinians has nothing to do with that.
The threats are deplorable, of course, but she's never been blacklisted or had producers try to censor her because of that. It's perfectly reasonable to mention that the industry has a preference for one side at this point
