Lebanon Considering Banning ‘Wonder Woman’ Because Lead Actress Is An Israeli Jew

Hank Berrien

Lebanon, which once was a beautiful country where for a brief time Jews could live in peace (see the 1926 Constitution of Lebanon) is now so anti-Semitic that there is a motion being considered by the Ministry of Economy to ban the new film Wonder Woman because the actress playing Wonder Woman, Gal Gadot, is a proud Israeli Jew.

A group called Campaign to Boycott Supporters of Israel-Lebanon railed against Gadot on Facebook, noting that she was a soldier in the Israeli army and had expressed support for Israel’s military during the Gaza War in 2014. Gadot had tweeted she was praying for soldiers “who are risking their lives protecting my country against the horrific acts conducted by Hamas.”
