I think it's partly the bad acting skills.
Partly her participation in the cringe-worthy John Lennon "Imagine" celeb video.
Partly her dark features for an Ashkenazi Jew, which means she's very inbred. I'm into Mizrahi Jews and darkhaired Mediterraneans. But Ashkenazis that look Middle Eastern disgust me(not as much as ginger Ashkenazis with bad freckled skin but still..)
I take your first two points, but your last one strikes me as anti-Semitic.
Also 'inbred'? Really? I don't think Gal's looks are particularly typical of Ashkenazi Jews. I mean, one can tell she's of Semitic origin, but she doesn't have some of the characteristics that anti-Semitic propagandists/Nazis have generally associated with Ashkenazi Jews, save, perhaps, for her sloping forehead. She could pass for another type of Mediterranean (i.e. Greek or Spanish).
Anti-Semitic?
More like anti-Ashkenazim.
However I like and respect Ashkenazi Jews.
But look-wise, there are stereotypical Ashkenazi features that are not pretty to say the least. And it's not the dark curly haired big nosed caricatures.
I love typical Semitic features such as large, hooked noses and curly dark hair.
But this is more prominent in Mizrahi Jews.
I associate Ashkenazis with pale freckled skin, reddish hair, although only a minority have that.
Gal Gadot doesn't look Ashkenazi, she looks Mizrahi, which suggests little to no admixture from North Europeans despite centuries as tiny minority in North/Central/East Europe...which is why I associate it with inbreeding.

I see your point here.
Gal looks Semitic and Mediterrenean, but not typical of most Ashkenazi Jews of Eastern European descent.
She could almost be Persian.
The only part I dislike about her is that she keeps working with Patty Jenkins in shitty "girl-power" movies. Patty Jenkins is a bitch, not unlike Kathleen Kennedy and all the other power-mad liberal women in Hollyweird.
shareI'm looking really, really hard, but I can't see it.
shareOdd comment since ALL Jews were originally Mizrahi. Her family likely retained more of the physical features or intermarried with people who had darker features.
Anyway, she's presently an actress, not model. Her acting skills are more important.
"Odd comment since ALL Jews were originally Mizrahi."
This sentence shows that you understood nothing of what I wrote.
You don't understand Jewish history.
shareYou just repeated the same stupid point in different words.
Ashkenazi Jews being originally "Mizrahi" is a part of my point, dumbass.
And as informed as you might be about Jewish history, I'm pretty sure it can't compare to my extensive knowledge on Jews from a genetic and secular scientific perspective.
How come you don't know Jews came from Asia?
shareYou still don't get it?
Ashkenazi descend from Levantines, and originated as a distinct Yiddish-speaking group in Central Europe.
We have Medieval DNA-samples from a diverse Jewish group in Erfurt, which combined are autosomally close to the current unmixed Ashkenazi average. That's yet another evidence of the strict endogamy that has been practiced by Ashkenazis in Europe.
However this changed in the last 2 centuries when many Ashkenazis married and reproduced with converts(in NA/Europe) and Sephardim and Mizrahim(in Israel).
Gal Gadot is from Israel but is only Ashkenazi.
And she has dark, oriental features for an Ashkenazi, which indicates that she only has Ashkenazi ancestors many centuries back.
You see now why I associate her with inbreeding?
Why are you arguing with me when we're saying basically the same thing?
Levantine is in Asia!
Original Jews are an Asiatic people who had dark skin, dark eyes, dark curly hair and spoke Aramaic and/or Hebrew.
Jews didn't emerge as a separate group in Europe. They were already a separate group when they arrived in Europe and over many generations intermarried with the local populations and adapted somewhat to the local cultures. One adaption was Yiddish which is a mixture of mainly German, Aramaic and Hebrew.
"And she has dark, oriental features for an Askhenazi"
Even 100% Askenazi are still genetically mixed Asiatic (50–70%) AND European (30-50%, but darker Southern European (ancient era) 30-40%; Central and West European 5–15%; Eastern European 5–10%).
"inbreeding"
Bizarre term. Not really inbreeding since her Jewish ancestors intermarried with nonJewish Europeans.
She gets her dark hair from her mother. Her kids are lighter. She looks Polish or Russian in this photo.

Anyway, Jeff Goldblum is much darker than Gadot and Jussie Smollet's dad Joel Smollet was Askhenazi with a Polish Jewish dad and a Russian Jewish mom, but he looks racially-mixed:

Some Poles and Russians have very dark features, too. Gadot has both in her ancestry.
Levantine in Asia?
The region is known as Levant, not Levantine.
Someone from the Levant is a Levantine. You're not very bright, are you?
And yes, it goes without saying that the Levant is located in Asia. The fact that you even felt that you needed to point this out shows that you're still lost, or pretending to be stupid in order to get a reaction out of me.
Original Jews looked like modern day Samaritans and Palestinian Christians. Most have dark (curly & non-curly) hair and dark eyes, but the skin tone ranges from pale to light brown.
I didn't say Jews emerged as a group in Europe. Again you're being dumb, on purpose or not. I said Ashkenazi originated in Central Europe, where the amalgamation of several Jewish groups lead to the birth of Yiddish, a Judeo-Germanic language, which became one of their distinct features that separated them from Sephardim and Mizrahim.
Yes, Ashkenazim have significant ancestry from West Asia. Especially if they're unmixed, like Gal Gadot and Goldblum. And this was only possible through strict endogamy, which also meant cousin marriages during periods in certain areas that had a very small Jewish community.
Poles don't have dark features. But Poland has or had minorities of non-European origin, such as Tatars and Jews.
Western Russians are as light as they can be. Chechens, Circassians and Siberians are a different matter.
"Why are you arguing with me when we're saying basically the same thing?"
Still applies.
but you pointed it out as if I didn't know about the Middle Eastern origins of Ashkenazis.
I'm saying that I associate Gal Gadot's Middle Eastern looks with inbreeding because it suggests that she's a descendant of those Ashkenazis who practiced strict endogamy. Ashkenazis, who descend from Middle Easterners, had been living in Central/North/East Europe for around a millennium. Many of them could pass as German or Russian, over time, due to conversion. And conversions and mixing became even more common in recent centuries as Ashkenazi became more liberal, more secular, or came into contact and intermarried with Sephardim and Mizrahim, particularly in Israel. However Gal Gadot's parents and grandparents appear to have continued the Medieval tradition.
Your response to this was "all Jews were originally Mizrahi", as if that wasn't a part of my point. Then you decided to claim that I didn't know that Jews came from Asia.
So yeah, we're saying the same thing about the Middle Eastern origins of Ashkenazis. However you acted as if I didn't, and you brought it up as if it refutes my point when it actually repeats it.
"it suggests that she's a descendant of those Ashkenazis who practiced strict endogamy."
What nonsense!
"she looks Mizrahi, which suggests little to no admixture from North Europeans despite centuries as tiny minority in North/Central/East Europe...which is why I associate it with inbreeding."
Reread:
Even 100% Askenazi are still genetically mixed Asiatic (50–70%) AND European (30-50%, but darker Southern European (ancient era) 30-40%; Central and West European 5–15%; Eastern European 5–10%).
I wish Hitler had listened to his more moderate followers and sent all the Jews to Madagascar, which was something they had seriously considered. I would have had a chance with someone of her beauty. Or close.
