Lebanon Wants to Ban Wonder Woman Because of Israeli Actress Gal Gadot

Lebanese law boycotts all "Israeli products" since the two countries are officially still at war and they apparently consider Gadot and Wonder Woman subject to the ban. A Lebanese security official told the Times that a ban would require a recommendation from a six-ministry-member committee, noting that such a process has not yet started. Nevertheless, Wonder Woman posters and billboards have been spotted around Beirut, and the film is scheduled to premiere Wednesday in at least one theater in the capital city. "Especially to all the boys and girls who are risking their lives protecting my country against the horrific acts conducted by Hamas, who are hiding like cowards behind women and children".

"We now await the implementation", said boycott member Samah Idriss to the Associated Press.

Warner Bros., the studio releasing the film, declined comment, the AP reports.

And "Wonder Woman" has continued the tradition of ending without bonus scenes after the credits. Set against the back drop of World War 1, the movie is said to have re-created the period for the audience quite similar to the first "Captain America" movie, of its counterpart, Marvel Comics.

"However, critic, Steve Rose of The Guardian, didn't seem quite impressed with the movie and felt that it could have been much better". "I want my film to be celebrated", she said. Unknown sources suggested to Hollywood Reporter that she had in fact been "unceremoniously dropped" from the film following a similarly unknown dispute. This campaign claims that this movie starring Israeli actress Gal Gadot should be banned not only because she was a former soldier in the Israeli army, but because she supports Israeli military actions against the Palestinian-controlled Gaza Strip.

" "Superman I" had been a favorite movie of mine, even when I was at Cooper Union, which is a very fine-arts school".

That was when the Lebanese campaign against Gadot's movies began, as the same campaigners sought to bar Batman Vs Superman.

Just a few days before opening, "Wonder Woman" is tracking to make more than $65 million in its first weekend, though some estimate its take could be much higher. If you would like to discuss another topic, look for a relevant article.
