‘Snow White’ Banned in Lebanon Due to Gal Gadot Being on Country’s ‘Israel Boycott List’
Disney's 'Snow White' has been banned in Lebanon due to presence of Israel's Gal Gadot.
However, a representative for Beirut-based Middle East distributor Italia Films, which handles Disney titles in the region, told Variety that Gadot has long been on Lebanon’s “Israel boycott list” and that no movie in which she stars has ever been released in the country. In a passionate speech she delivered on March 4 when she was honored at the Anti-Defamation League’s annual summit in New York City, she said: “Never did I imagine that on the streets of the United States, and different cities around the world, we would see people not condemning Hamas, but celebrating, justifying and cheering on a massacre of Jews.” The “Snow White” ban in Lebanon follows a similar move by the country’s authorities roughly two months ago, when Marvel’s “Captain America: Brave New World” was not allowed to screen due to the presence in the film of Israeli actress Shira Haas.
