Wonder Woman could help build the bridge to peace

Re When feminism’s wonders aren’t for all women, Kanji, June 15 I was startled to read Azeezah Kanji’s attack on Wonder Woman based on Israel’s response to Gaza. If the star of the film is Israeli, then the film must be bad seems to be her argument.

Ms. Kanji based her position on actor Gal Gadot’s support for her fellow Israelis during the Gaza war. I suggest Ms. Kanji can’t separate the role of an actor within a comic-book-based film from her own general hostility toward the State of Israel?

I would suggest Ms. Kanji reconsider her position. This film supports strong women who make their own decisions. It illustrates the endless cruelty of war and the power needed to go on with life in spite of heartbreaking loss.

Palestinians can do this. Israelis can do this. Attacking Gal Gadot does not bring us closer to building bridges toward peace. Fredelle Brief, Toronto
