Lebanon wants Wonder Woman film banned because lead actress is an Israeli
Lebanon has called for ban of the new Wonder Woman movie because its lead actress, Gal Gadot, is an Israeli, reports the AP.
"The state took the right decision," Samah Idriss, a member of the boycott campaign told The Associated Press. "We now await the implementation ...Even if it is one hour before the show, they should ban it anyway"
The premiere of Wonder Woman is scheduled for Wednesday in at least one cinema in Beirut. Posters of the movie and digital billboards have sprouted up around the Lebanese capital.
A group called Campaign to Boycott Supporters of Israel-Lebanon has pressed an effort against the movie. On its Facebook page, the campaign said Gadot was a soldier in the Israeli army and has expressed support for Israel's military policies against the Gaza Strip, a coastal Palestinian territory run by the militant group Hamas.
