'Wonder Woman' suspended in Tunisia, pulled from film fest in Algeria following ban in Lebanon
Fox News ^ | June 08, 2017 | FNC

“Wonder Woman,” starring Israeli actress Gal Gadot, shattered box office records in the U.S. But the film isn’t getting as warm a reception from some countries due to Gadot’s Israeli heritage.

Lebanon became the first country to outright ban the film last week, and now, according to the Jerusalem Post, it’s been removed from a film festival in Alegeria. Tunisia has also suspended showing the movie, the newspaper reports.

Well, isn't that special, Islam is even ruining a decent movie simply because the lead actor happens to be Israeli.

The ignorance runs deep.

I had no idea she was Israeli. But it was a good movie...especially in comparison to the batman vs superman flop.

I saw this movie the other day and it was pretty good all things considered.

I didn’t see any Jewish or Israeli bias at all in the movie unless one thinks showing Nazi types as the bad guys when at war with Germany to be biased. There was nothing about Islam in the movie at all that I saw or noticed.

I thought that they cancelled the movie because it the showed too much skin.

This ad was "skin" adjusted by the Saudi's so that the mother became a beach ball.

I didn't realize "Captain KirK" (Chris Pine) was the other lead actor in this movie. He's really getting around. Star Trek, Jack Ryan; Shadow Recruit, and a host of other shows and films.

I thought they were Nazis; maybe it was whomever the bad guys were in that war. I confess to not being up on my WWI history. Judging by the planes; it was WWI.

Will they attack an embassy over it? Will the producer and director be locked up?
