Wonder Woman (2017)

Gal Gadot, the Israeli-born actress, has faced many challenges due to her heritage. In May 2021, the Fast and Furious actress faced further backlash after her comments on the Israel-Palestine dispute sparked anger in the Arab world.

With Lebanon’s decision to ban any Israeli products, Patty Jenkins’ superhero film Wonder Woman was collateral damage in the conflict between the two Arab states and was banned in the country. The film boycott resulted in a social media dispute among the Lebanese people, with some lauding the government over shunning their neighboring country while others would question the state’s “childish” stance.
