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.

    "How dare those misogynists boycott a movie starring a strong female protagonist! Do they hate women? We should bomb their whole backward patriarchy back into the stone age!"

    It is great that your sarcasm actually ties quite nicely to the actual bombing. Why are we messing with them? Oh right, to prop up our empire. Good reason, gotta stay on top of the pile! What's a few thousand innocent casualties?
