While I have no interest in this movie and I think Gal Godot sucks, banning movies is akin to banning books.
it's a remake of gal gadot and it has disney in it, it's absolutely the best idea to ban it
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.
How about we don't let Disney try to profit off a movie starring a Zionist in a country that just got invaded by the Zionist Entity?
Do you think the abstract concept of dissent is the only reason to censor something? Because be clear here, the film isn't proposing dissent in Lebanon. It's slop made for a quick bit of money to go on Disney's big pile of money, and it stars a war criminal who worked for an agency that likes to kill Lebanese people . Yeah Gal Gadot dissents against the idea that Lebanon shouldn't be sent exploding pagers
Yeah I guess ban and boycott mean different things to me, but you're right. Functionally this is a boycott and I support boycotting this movie. Fair point.
