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.

You sexist liberal hypocrite; you never cared about art, unless it pushed your ideological agenda.

You're pushing your own ideological agenda. You see any excuse to whine about feminism, then jump on it.
