Celebrities are using their platforms to show support for Israel and denounce Hamas’s catastrophic terrorist attack on innocent Israeli civilians that left at least 1,000 people dead — including at least 11 Americans.
On Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas stormed a music festival with gunfire, launched rockets into Israel, broke into civilians’ homes and killed, kidnapped, tortured and raped innocent Israeli men, women, children, elderly and Holocaust survivors.
The brutal attack marked the single deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust.
From Hollywood stars to influencers, here are the vocal celebrities standing up for Israel.
Gal Gadot
Gal Gadot, who was born in Israel, took to Instagram to mourn the loss of her people and shed light on the atrocities of Hamas.
“I stand with Israel you should too,” the “Wonder Woman” actress wrote in a post. “The world cannot sit on the fence when these horrific acts of terror are happening!”
In another post, she shared a news report about hundreds of women, children and elderly being taken hostage, writing, “My heart is aching. Praying for all of those in pain.”
Gadot is asking for donations to be made to JAFNA’s Fund for Victims of Terror.

The Israeli actress has also pointed out the harmful propaganda circling online.
“The goal of propaganda is to dehumanize. It works to dehumanize Israelis and it works to dehumanize Gazans,” she wrote via her Instagram Story. “I like to think most of us are above propaganda.
“But this weekend reminded me how widespread it is. Because a lot of people reacted to this violence with justification, not empathy,” she continued. “I guess it’s not surprising, but it’s still heartbreaking.”
