Zack Snyder's Justice League film has been banned in Lebanon for the same reason Wonder Woman was banned last year: star Gal Gadot had served in the Israeli army (as many adult Israeli citizens are expected to do) under the country's national service. Her two years of service coincided with the war between Israel and Lebanon in 2006.

BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) activists initiated the campaign that was based on the statement that the presence of an Israeli actress lead amounts to normalization of an enemy state. The Lebanese Ministry of Economy made the decisions to ban the DC film, but of course, interest groups such as the Campaign to Boycott Supporters of Israel-Lebanon played an important role in pressuring political officials.

Activist Pierre Abi Saab hs accused promoters of the film of ignoring Lebanese laws that restricts all forms of normalization of ties with Israel, explaining, “We thought the debate had been settled five months ago but we are now back to square one,” he wrote, referring to the controversy surrounding Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman film.

Justice League has earned over $485 million worldwide, but according to analysts, it's much lower than what Warner Bros. was hoping for.

Justice League is now showing in theaters. Just don't go searching for it in Lebanon.
