The Hollywood Walk of Fame star belonging to Israeli actress Gal Gadot was recently defaced with anti-Israel graffiti, including messages targeting her Jewish identity.
The vandalism, which included accusations of her being a “baby killer” and an alteration of her surname to “Greenstein,” a reference to her family’s original European surname, has drawn swift condemnation.
A sticker nearby also bore the message, “Israeli snipers target children.”
The defacement of her star comes after previous incidents of disruption at her Hollywood Walk of Fame induction ceremony in March, and in the same week that five anti-Israel anarchists were arrested in London for trying to disrupt the filming of Gadot’s latest movie, “The Runner.”
Police officers were quickly summoned to the filming site in Westminster, where they arrested the haters.
Israeli visitors to the Walk of Fame quickly took action to clean the offensive messages from Gadot’s star.

Gadot, 40, is widely recognized for her role as Wonder Woman. She is a “wonder woman” for Jewish causes as well and has been a vocal supporter of Israel, a stance that has often made her a target of pro-Palestinian activists.

Born in Petah Tikva, Israel, Gadot served two years as a combat trainer in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), a mandatory service for most Israeli citizens.
Gadot’s public advocacy for her home country, particularly following the October 7 Hamas massacre, has led to vandalism, protests and some calls to boycotts her films.
