A new interpretation of an old Marvel character has created an uproar among those who fear that reviving the character would spread offensive stereotypes about Arabs and the dehumanization of Palestinians in cinema.
Editor’s Note: A version of this story first appeared in CNN’s Meanwhile in the Middle East newsletter, a three-times-a-week look inside the region’s biggest stories. Sign up here. The classic 1981 Marvel comic page shows the giant green Hulk, tears streaming down his face as he yells at Sabra, an Israeli superhero and agent of the country’s Mossad spy agency.
