From Variety:

Several dozen pro-Palestine protesters gathered Tuesday outside the Hollywood premiere of “Captain America: Brave New World” and called for a boycott of the film over its inclusion of the Israeli superhero Ruth Bat-Seraph, aka Sabra, played by Shira Haas.

Protesters held signs that read “Sabra has got to go,” “Disney supports genocide,” “Boycott ‘Captain America'” and “Pray 4 Princess Jasmine.” They chanted phrases such as “Free, free, free Palestine” and “Disney, Disney you can’t hide.”  
The video of the protest shows that it was pretty pathetic.


Now, what exactly offends them about "Captain America: Brave New World"?

Because an Israeli actress portrays an Israeli-born employee of a US intelligence agency in the movie.

That's it. There is nothing anti-Palestinian, anti-Muslim, or anti-Arab in the movie. And there is nothing pro-Israel in the movie either. 

They are protesting a non-political Israeli character played by an Israeli actress.

That is not "pro-Palestine." That is an obsessive, deranged hate for the Jewish state.

The only kind of hate that is remotely as divorced from reality is one that is more familiar to many in Hollywood: hatred of Jews.

Because they are one and the same.

So stop calling these protesters "pro-Palestine." They don't a damn about Palestinians when they are languishing in Lebanon or Syria. 

They only get upset when they can blame Israeli Jews. 

I have to admit that a sign saying "Pray 4 Princess Jasmine" at least shows a tiny bit of wit, which is unusual in these kinds of mindless chanting hatefests. But even that shows their hypocrisy: when the original Aladdin animated movie was released, the opening song "Arabian Nights"  had the lyrics 

Oh, I come from a land
From a faraway place
Where the caravan camels roam.
Where they cut off your ear
If they don't like your face
It's barbaric, but hey, it's home.

There were no protests outside theaters for the lyrics, just a letter writing campaign and press releases. Disney changed the lyrics for the home video release.

Where were the signs, the chants, the blocking sidewalks?

The only reason that actress Shira Haas is offensive to these bigots is because she is an Israeli Jew. That there are noisier protests over her than there was in 1992 for Aladdin shows that in the end, they are protesting against Jews, not for Palestinians or Arabs.
