Israeli actress Gal Gadot reportedly helped in arranging for the 43-minute film “Bearing Witness” to be played in downtown Los Angeles’ Museum of Tolerance. The film features “extremely graphic and violent” footage “documenting the atrocities committed by Hamas on October 7th, 2023.” Much of the video included is footage shot directly by members of Hamas as they committed the massacre of Israelis.
The screening generated controversy and threats on social media, with supporters of the Palestinian cause accusing the “Wonder Woman” actress of supporting genocide, while backers of Israel came to her defense.
The Hollywood Reporter said about 200 people attended the screening under a heavy security presence. Attendees of the screening included Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, an official with the Israel Defense Forces and Hollywood executives. Actress Gal Gadot was reportedly not in attendance.
