I don't know her personal politics as I hate all celebrities on principle alone and try to pay as little attention to them as possible, but she's former IDF. What more do you need?

Edit: Yes I'm aware military service is compulsory, but since when is 'just following orders' an acceptable excuse?

isreal has mandatory conscription for all jewish citizens. being former idf does not say anyone about ones politics, other than that they had the misfortune of growing up in isreal as a jewish person. i don't think its a good criticism in itself.

Not defending her or anything but military service is compulsory in Israel.

Your logic doesn't follow. She is former IDF. As in she wasn't even there during the current genocide. You have no idea what she even did. Majority of military service is logistics based. Just because she was forced to be a member doesn't mean she supported what they did.

Oh yeah I forgot the genocide in Palestine only just started after October 7 🙄

I would argue the apartheid has been around for much longer but the full blown genocide is more recent.
