Bans Spread for Wonder Woman Over Israeli Star Gal Gadot
Breitbart ^ | 3 Jul 2017 | Simon Kent

Posted on 07/03/2017 3:58:00 PM PDT by KC_Lion

Qatar has joined Lebanon and Tunisia to become the latest state to ban the screening of the hit movie Wonder Woman starring Israeli actress Gal Gadot.

As Breitbart Jerusalem reported, Gadot, who served in the IDF during the 2006 Lebanon war, has come under fire for her open support of Israel, in particular for a tweet during 2014’s conflict with Gaza in which she prayed for the safety of Israel’s citizens.

Now Doha News reports the presence of the Israeli star in the blockbuster is enough for authorities in Qatar to ban the screening. Wonder Woman was initially scheduled to premiere in Doha last Thursday across local theater chains VOX Cinemas Qatar and Novo Cinemas.

On Facebook, she previously sent her “love and prayers to my fellow Israeli citizens. 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 shall overcome!!!”

I didn’t realize she was Israeli. I might see the film after all.

I forgot the quote from Gal Gadot regarding the war in Gaza in 2014

~ "I am sending my love and prayers to my fellow Israeli citizens. 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 shall overcome!!! Shabbat Shalom!"

I didn't know she was either. I hadn't planned on seeing the movie, but I will now. I figure if the muzzies are against it, then I am for it. 😀

Hollywood is probably launching an internal investigation to determine how this was missed, so that they can prevent people like her from being casted again.

Don’t waste your time. Whatever relish you might derive from watching it because Gadot is Israeli is countered by the fact that the film is still, nonetheless, garbage Hollywood nonsense with a hefty dose of “girl power” injected to make it even less palatable.

I saw the movie and thought it was pretty good, an action packed, old fashioned adventure. It was refreshing to see a movie devoid of any politically correct agenda. No preaching. No transgender, racial, or feminist bull.

It is certainly a movie that is safe to take your kids too—1000% safer than any Disney movie.
