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.

    You could argue that, but you would be wrong. Most things that art is intended to represent are not expressible in words. ... Well, except for the textual arts, and even then there's a difference between reporting accurately and art.

    That said, most art is, and must be, ambiguous. There's no other way. And that means that even the artist will see his works differently at different times.
