What a bunch of snowflake perpetually offended BS. 

GAL Gadot was slammed by disability activists over her tweet paying tribute to physicist Stephen Hawking, who died Wednesday.

Gadot, like many celebrities, paid tribute to the best-known theoretical physicist of his time after his death was announced. Hawking was 76 when he died. His body was paralysed after he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or ALS when he was 21.

Gadot tweeted Wednesday, “Rest in peace Dr. Hawking. Now you’re free of any physical constraints. Your brilliance and wisdom will be cherished forever.”

Some social media users took issue with Gadot’s tweet including the line, “Now you’re free of any physical constraints.” They labelled the “Wonder Woman” actor an ableist, meaning someone who discriminates against people with disabilities.

“Horrible tweet. You are defining Stephen Hawking by his disability, something he spent his entire life [proving] was completely wrong,” a person tweeted.

Looked like a sincere, well-wishing tweet to me.

Yeah, but maybe atheists get what they imagine to be true.

Pretending that a disability is not a disability is idiotic.

Overcoming a disability by force of intellect, imagination and sheer will is what Stephen Hawking will remembered for, a fact that sails over the heads of liberal idiots, whose own common disabilities are largely self-inflicted.   
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

  • Ah, the air is so much fresher here...
We must not think that a disability is anything but a glorified, exalted position in life. We don't want to lose any position on the politically correct victim caste system, or possibly any bennies, govt or otherwise, that goes with it.

In fact, it was very fitting for the occasion.

Israel isn't exactly the most popular country in the world, particularly among the left.  I'm assuming that applies to individual Israelis.

@Sanguine

Ok. Since I have no idea if that is true or not,or even where Israel stands in popularity with non-Jews,I'll take your word for that.

It does SEEM to me at times that America is now the least popular country in the world,though.

Hypocrisy,but Bless your Soul,anyhow.

OK, you've made me curious.  How is that hypocritical?  I have no idea what you mean.

And a Veterran, and more natural beauty in her little finger than most US born actresses have in their whole manufactured bodies. More things the Left have no respect for.

Which all makes this a puzzler since Hollywood and the media are both controlled by ethnic Jews. Call me an anti-Semite for writing the truth if you want. I really don't give a bleep.

One of the surest things in life is the historical fact that "the tribe" rallies and puts aside their differences to protect a fellow Jew,and this is ESPECIALLY true of the Hollywood branch of the tribe when that Jew happens to be young,attractive,and talented,and can make money for them. Hell,they still support the child drugger and rapist Roman Polanski and want his conviction overturned so he can come back to Hollywood and make more movies for them to profit from producing.

Yeah,yeah,yeah. We all KNOW the Jews we are talking about as about as devoutly Jewish as neo-Nazis,but they all seem to become rabid tribal members once one of THEM is threatened or they need to deflect criticism/arrest charges. "Jews of convenience". You ain't EVER going to see any of them walking down the street dressed like Johnny Cash with curly sideburns and reading the Toran.

This is a real puzzler.

Maybe she just refused to blow the right people?

@andy58-in-nh

What stands out about him in MY opinion is that despite being dealt such a cruel blow early in life,damned if he didn't develop a sense of humor about it,and even made fun of himself. I would like to THINK I could do the same,but I sure don't want it put to the test because I would almost certainly fail.

Anybody can be pleasant when things are going their way,but his whole adult life has been one serious challenge after another.
