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!!!”

Sure hope these Israel-hating, Jew-hating folks enjoy Armageddon when The Jewish Carpenter gets back.

Yeah, I might want to see it too, now. Especially since they’re censoring it.

Actually it was pretty frickn’ good. Very entertaining and Gal Godot is gorgeous. Some great fight scenes, the nazis were still bad, Chris Pine was self deprecating and engaging. No, you are wrong. It was a fun movie.

When the first SPIDERMAN movie came out in 2002, that night we watched it at my friend’s home in California. He picked up a bootleg DVD copy of the movie, the first day the movie was released to theaters.

I saw her in “Criminal” with Kevin Costner. She is a very pretty lady but she is tall, as skinny as a rail and her head is way too big for her body.

Before being in the IDF she was a basketball player in college. She boasted that while she wasn’t very athletic and did not score much, she was one hell of a defender. No one could get past her or shoot over her because she is so tall.

So might I, just to boycott the boycott. How absurd it is to hate someone because of their religion!

Not only is she Israeli, she was 5 months pregnant while shooting the picture.

I saw it and loved the movie. So did the friend I went to the movies with. We both loved it. Non-stop action and great stunts.

Yum yum yum.

If she’d wear that outfit, I’d pay to watch her read the telephone directory.

So she doesn’t merely portray a badass in the movie, she is one in real life as well!

You can probably already get a bootleg copy at a street market.

Some high quality "Wonder Woman 2017" torrents were just posted on The Pirate Bay yesterday. Or so I heard...

I just saw the movie. She makes a great wonder Woman. If you read the comic books, you will love the movie.

There is no Islam in the movie, it takes place during WWI with the Germans being the bad guys.

This blanket criticism of everything Israel is a feature of Arabic cultures that has gone on long enough now.

They should watch the movie and relax. Gal Godot is a fabulous WW.

This is one of the best action movies in years. Gal Gadot is lovely and very talented.

To hell with all those 6th century goat-humping savages, let them watch one of their fine locally produced films instead!

Those were her statements, not mine. Read what she says about herself on wiki.

Additionally, please keep your ridiculous opinions to yourself. Thank you! ;-)
