5. SOUNDBITE (English) Pamela Erwin, protestor:
"Gal Gadot represents Zionism and Hollywood and the industry that is riddled and dominated by Zionism. And it’s like the elephant in the room that nobody can talk about. If you want to make it in Hollywood, if you want to make it in U.S. politics, if you want to not be fired from your job, if you want to not be censored, you have to keep your mouth shut on Israel and all of their crimes and depravity. And it’s not just Israel. It’s an extension of U.S. imperialism and hegemony, and it needs to come to an end. And so that’s why we’re here today."
7. Various, pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel protestors
8. SOUNDBITE (English) Roma Palacios, protestor:
"There was a supposed ceasefire in place. So, a lot of people were upset about the unprovoked act of terror on civilian population. I’m Jewish. I’m a practicing, Jew. I don’t stand for what the Israeli government is doing. I stand for Israeli people that stand for peace. And I just—I think celebrating a Hollywood star at this time doesn’t matter if they’re Israeli or not. Any Hollywood celebration right now, it’s out of pocket compared to the devastation to what’s happening to our Palestinian brothers and sisters right now."

STORYLINE:
Pro-Palestinian protesters attempted to disrupt the Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony for Israeli actor Gal Gadot on Tuesday in Los Angeles.
The Hollywood Boulevard protests grew heated when pro-Israel counterprotesters confronted the crowd across from the ceremony, which was blocked from view by a tent outside the El Capitan Theatre.
The 39-year-old star of "Wonder Woman" and the upcoming "Snow White" has spoken out in support of Israel.
"Gal Gadot represents Zionism and Hollywood and the industry that is riddled and dominated by Zionism," said protestor Pamela Erwin.
The protest came as a wave of Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip killed more than 400 people Tuesday, according to the Gaza’s Health Ministry.
Protestor Roma Palacios said he was Jewish and "I stand for Israeli people that stand for peace. I think celebrating a Hollywood star at this time – doesn’t matter if they’re Israeli or not – any Hollywood celebration right now, it’s out of pocket compared to the devastation to what’s happening to our Palestinian brothers and sisters right now."
