She served in the Israeli occupation forces. Would you watch a movie with a Russian actor who served in the military?

Israel is guilty of genocide, and illegally occupies Palestinian, Syrian and Lebanese lands. The movie should be banned in more than just Lebanon.

Most people? Unless said actor is actively militant in favour of Russia government, individuals are not responsible for their contry's crimes.

But Gal Gadot actively militates in favour of Israel and it's military.

I don't think there is a need to ban a movie if no one cares to see it anyway.

Nooooooo not my Disney live action remake slop

Oh no. They could have almost broken even if only they had made it into the Lebanese market.

Gal Godot can end up like all the rest of the IDF, in my opinion.

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago

I bet she just can't wait for her beach front property built on the bones and blood of dead Palestinian children. I personally boycott her (and many others) movies, but banning a movie no body asked for, nor wanted is giving it more hype than it's do.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 5 points 4 days ago

It is a shit movie anyway.

[–] TheThrillOfTime@lemmy.ml 14 points 5 days ago (3 children)

While I have no interest in this movie and I think Gal Godot sucks, banning movies is akin to banning books.

[–] anzo@programming.dev 6 points 4 days ago

There's a huge difference between the reasons for such a ban. This wasn't a movie with political content antagonist to Lebanon government. This ban is probably to make a statement for both outside and inside the country. To show how normalized the violence against them is widespread in our media industry. But you can read in this action whatever you like... Sure...

Ps. Have you seen Waltz with Bashir? Hell of an animated movie.

How about a general ban on Israeli products?

[–] Samskara@sh.itjust.works -3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

This is an American film with an Israeli actress.

[–] LavaPlanet@lemm.ee 5 points 4 days ago

Yeah, boycotting is a better word.

They'll find a way to blame Rachel Zeigler for this.

[–] FenderStratocaster@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I wish I were Lebanon, but my wife is going to make we watch that shit I guarantee it.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 1 points 4 days ago

Rachel Zeigler is gonna get banned in pro israel places too
