Beautiful rose Gal Gadot recently accidentally faced criticism from public opinion when she expressed condolences for the sudden passing of physics genius Stephen Hawking. Everything would not be worth mentioning if the actress did not accidentally mention the phrase “physical pain”. Everyone knows that, although Stephen Hawking possesses outstanding intelligence, in return, his life is unlucky when he suffers from muscular dystrophy, forcing him to be confined to a wheelchair his entire life. That’s why Gal Gadot’s statement makes people feel that she is discriminating against people with disabilities.
Full text of actress Gal Gadot’s tweet: “Rest in peace, Mr. Hawking. Now physical pain is no longer an obstacle for him. His talent and intelligence will forever be remembered and recognized by humanity.” Even though she only shared this tweet a few minutes ago, the actress quickly received countless negative comments from netizens. They called her “ableist” – a noun that refers to discrimination or discrimination against people with disabilities.
“I think you’re a great Gal Gadot but seriously, this tweet is very discriminatory. Physical obstacles could not stop him on his path to conquering the universe. People with disabilities never seek death just to be spiritually free. They always want to get recognition from everyone for what they can do and of course, never want anyone to pity them” – Adam B account left a comment on actress Gal’s home page Gadot.
This tweet was not simply condemned by ordinary netizens, but in addition, some people with disabilities also made their comments. “Dear Gal Gadot, I am a chronically ill person and for the past 18 years I have not been able to bathe myself or leave my bed. I lay there and ran a charity study. Everything I do is on that bed. So does my life matter? Disability is not something to be ashamed of.”
Even Stephen Hawking himself left behind many quotes related to his life and illness. He never felt sad or embarrassed about this incident. On the contrary, despite having to live with the support of machines, from him, people always feel positive energy, always dedicating themselves to human science.
This is not the first time Gal Gadot has faced a wave of public criticism. A few months ago, the Israeli actress offended her hometown fans by wearing an outfit from designer Elie Saab, who is of Lebanese origin. It is known that the two countries Lebanon and Israel always have political conflicts, so this action of hers naturally became a “thorn” in the eyes of her compatriots.
