Qatar has become the third Arab-majority country to ban the screening of the movie “Wonder Woman” because lead actress Gal Gadot is Israeli.I'm sure that one day, if they know some of the editors - if not the writer/artist who created WW - are Jewish, they'll want to ban their very creations from Muslim regimes as well, along with creations like Superman and Captain America, whose own creators were definitely of Jewish background.
The film had been scheduled to premiere in Qatar Thursday and was being promoted by local theater chains VOX Cinemas Qatar and Novo Cinemas. But in the days before its scheduled release, the film was removed from cinema websites, Doha News reported.
The Daily Wire says there's at least one good thing in all this mess:
If there is any silver lining to this disgusting situation, it's this: Now that Gadot has become an international superstar, those who had previously hated her in secret are being forced to reveal their anti-Semitic, anti-Israeli sentiments for the world to see.True, it helps prove old hatreds are still out there, running rampant in places like the UAE. Not that their censorship's doing them any good, as the film's already grossing as much as $600 million worldwide, and one could argue that Qatar's steps could ensure the movie will make at least $100 million more.
Wonder Woman is the most successful DC movie, and, since the movie itself is no better than Superman or Batman, the only explanation must be Gal Gadot.
ReplyDeleteThe failure of the Muslim boycott just shows how increasingly irrelevant the Arabs are becoming economically.
Just as the 2016 election in the US proved that the MSM and Big Hollywood have become irrelevant politically.
