Dozens of members of the Palestinian community, and activists in the American arena, are struggling to force Marvel Studios, a subsidiary of the Walt Disney World, to change the character of a superhero in which an agent in the "Israeli Mossad" embodies the role of Sabra. A heroine who fights evil, which is the opposite of what this apparatus is doing in terms of crimes and assassinations against Palestinians.

Hundreds of e-mails were sent to the company’s headquarters urging it to reverse its decision to choose an Israeli actress named Shira Hass in one of the films scheduled to be released next year, within the “Captain America” series, as she embodies the character of a Mossad agent, which will contribute to whitewashing the crimes of the occupation government against the Palestinian people. At a time when human rights institutions and organizations around the world are focusing on the fact that Israel is practicing apartheid and crimes against humanity against the Palestinian people.

Activists are calling for changing the heroine's name, "Sabra," because this name evokes a crime that the world will not forget, when the Israeli army carried out the Sabra and Shatila massacre in 1982.
