Well-known anti-Israel influencer Hasan Piker tells Variety that actress Gal Gadot “serves an important role in normalizing Israel as not a fascist ethno-state, but instead a place where a lot of beautiful women come from.”

In an interview on his activism against the Jewish state, Piker adds: “And those beautiful women happen to serve in the IDF, because there’s also this weird sexualization of the forces as well that takes place, and it plays another role in normalizing Israel and its activities and actions, and whitewashing it.”

He also attacks Jewish journalist Bari Weiss, saying: “Bari Weiss is everything that I despise about access journalism brown-nosing to institutionally powerful people and a major advocate for Israel as well. A person that has spent her entire career decrying woke or identity politics while simultaneously using her identity as a shield. Like, ‘I’m a lesbian woman. I can’t be intolerant.’ And also even using your identity as a Jewish woman to say, ‘Identity politics sucks unless we’re talking about Jewish people.’”
