More on the antisemitism of Lebanon. Via Daily Wire:
According to USA Today, Lebanon has officially banned Wonder Woman from theaters. The reason? Gal Godot’s nationality and support for her homeland of Israel.
The Times of Israel writes:
Lebanese Minister of Economy and Trade Alain Hakim said that the country has put in place the necessary steps to prevent the movie from being shown in Lebanese theaters, the country’s National News Agency reported Monday.
The Times of Israel also notes that an organization called “Campaign to Boycott Supporters of Israel-Lebanon” had been pushing to ban the Wonder Woman film.
Lebanon has long had in place a policy boycotting “Israeli products and [barring] Lebanese citizens from traveling or having contacts with Israelis.”
Beirut’s Grand Cinemas issued a tweet Wednesday:
#WonderWoman has been banned in #Lebanon.
Here’s what the issue boils down to — Gal Godot is an Israeli, who unabashedly supports her homeland. She’s a veteran, having served in the Israeli Defense Force (IDF), and is a strong critic of Hamas, as well as other anti-Semitic groups.
