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

        Banning books, like banning movies, is a great way to admit publicly that your position is so weak you can’t tolerate any dissent. Let the power of your ideals stand on their own.

        Edit: ok I’m going to leave this up here because I’m a masochist, but ok I get it. I’m with you guys. Boycott Gal Godot. Ban is functionally a boycott. In the US, this movie would never get banned, but I would 100% boycott it. I didn’t fully think this through and I agree with most of you guys.

          So a blanket ban of any books that acknowledge the existence of LGBTQ+ people and banning a single Disney movie for having a war criminal lead actress are exactly the same thing to you? You really can’t tell the difference?

          Except in this case, the thing being banned has no message they’re trying to repress. They’re targeting a person who’s in it.

    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.
