She served in the Israeli occupation forces. Would you watch a movie with a Russian actor who served in the military?
Israel is guilty of genocide, and illegally occupies Palestinian, Syrian and Lebanese lands.

Most people? Unless said actor is actively militant in favour of Russia government, individuals are not responsible for their contry’s crimes.
But Gal Gadot actively militates in favour of Israel and it’s military.

I’m asking Western liberals for consistency. I remember that even a Russian tree was banned from some tree contest in Europe.

I don’t think there is a need to ban a movie if no one cares to see it anyway.

The Gal Gadot hype in the 2010’s was always overdone. Reviews of Wonder Woman at the time noted her lack of acting skills and that the same lack of skills made it hard to take that Justice League movie seriously.
Rhea Ripley should have been Wonder Woman. Then again, she got lucky by avoiding that good awful anti-communist sequel.

What was anti-communist about it?
I don’t watch the cape slop anymore so I don’t know what happened there in particular.

Oh no. They could have almost broken even if only they had made it in the Lebanese market.

While I have no interest in this movie and I think Gal Godot sucks, banning movies is akin to banning books.
huf@hexbear.net 3 weeks ago
it’s a remake of gal gadot and it has disney in it, it’s absolutely the best idea to ban it

Banning books, like banning movies, is a great way to admit publicly that your position is so weak you can’t tolerate any dissent. Let the power of your ideals stand on their own.

How about a general ban on Israeli products?

This is an American film with an Israeli actress.

There’s a huge difference between the reasons for such a ban. This wasn’t a movie with political content antagonist to Lebanon government. This ban is probably to make a statement for both outside and inside the country. To show how normalized the violence against them is widespread in our media industry. But you can read in this action whatever you like… Sure…
Ps. Have you seen Waltz with Bashir? Hell of an animated movie.

Yeah, boycotting is a better word.

Gal Godot can end up like all the rest of the IDF, in my opinion.
NatakuNox@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I bet she just can’t wait for her beach front property built on the bones and blood of dead Palestinian children. I personally boycott her (and many others) movies, but banning a movie no body asked for, nor wanted is giving it more hype than it’s do.

They’ll find a way to blame Rachel Zeigler for this.

Can’t have our population exposed to contradicting opinions to ours right?! Born in a country?! Banned!

Israel has been bombing Lebanon. This doesn’t seem like an issue of difference of opinions.
j_co@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
So no movies with anyone jewish or israeli?
Like americans sending japanese to camps, do you really think this is the appropriate target for people protesting the Israeli rightwing majority party?
i think its odd to ban jewish products and people due to the actions of a government body they are not a member of and have zero impact on.
its like being pissed at german bakers for hitlers policies in world war 2.

How long do you think the planet should have boycotted American citizens after the President Truman approved 2 nuclear bomb attacks on civilian cities to scare the Japanese emperor into capitulation?
A couple years? Zero boycott? Cuz its the USA and you always have the best end result in mind, so it justifies the means?
Israelis retaliation against Gaza has killed around 100k at the highest estimates…. how many Iraqi citizens and children were killed from 2002-2022? More than 100k?
if so, does that make Americans more genocidal and colonistic? if they killed more people for a foreign invasion thousands of miles from the USA?
or was it all okay cuz 9/11?

They also banned Schindler’s List.
It is a difference of opinion. About whether or not Jews should exist.
