Katcy Stephan Gal Gadot‘s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony Tuesday was disrupted by sign-carrying demonstrators on both the pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel sides.

Several dozen protesters showed up just before the ceremony was due to get underway, with the pro-Palestinian protesters holding signs that read “Heros Fight Like Palestinians,” “Viva Viva Palestina” and “No Other Land Won Oscar.” As with the “Snow White” premiere early this week, the area on Hollywood Boulevard was tented off, and fully not visible from the street, but that didn’t deter the protesters from coming out and causing significant disruption.

The crowd shouted, “Up up with liberation, down down with occupation” and “Not another nickel, not another dime, no more money for Israel’s crime.” Roma Ealaicos, who stood across the street from the tented area told Variety, “We’re all really upset about what’s happening in Gaza right now.

From the last year and a half, and especially in the last 24-48 hours, 400 innocent people have been killed by the Israeli military, unprovoked.” He went on to say, “There’s no reason we should be celebrating an Israeli,” referring to Gadot.
