Lebanon's economy ministry says it has asked the country's security agency to ban the 2017 Wonder Woman movie because its lead actress, Gal Gadot, is an Israeli.
A senior security official says no formal request has been received yet, and that the ban would require a recommendation from a six-ministry-member committee.
[...] Lebanon is officially at war with Israel and has a decades-old law that boycotts Israeli products and bars Lebanese citizens from traveling or having contacts with Israelis.
Supporters of the boycott took to social media to campaign against the movie.
@TimesofIsrael Please don't watch the movie wonder woman, boycott.

"I'm just gonna say something outrageous against Israel or the West, and since I'm Muslim, the western media will make me important."
They shouldn't blame the Israeli girl for playing a role with super powers. They should distribute photoshops of Bibi with the WW costume (adjusted to the other star) kicking West Bank houses down as if he had superpowers to prevent the non-US world from noticing.
