Wonder Woman holds up a shield and sword
Gal Gadot stars as Diana/Wonder Woman in "Wonder Woman."

One episode #141 of the “(Is it) Good for the Jews?” podcast: After a month-long hiatus, we’re back in business. Episode #141 finds the boys ruminating on Rosen’s run-ins with angry Swiss policemen and The Most Interesting Overweight Man in France, then pivoting onto more serious topics like Jeremy Corbyn and the world’s exhaustion with the Jewish experience. Finally, after touching on the Six Day War, they move into the main event, asking:

Is Wonder Woman good for the Jews?

There is no way the likes of Linda Sarsour and the BDS crowd can dim the shining allure of Gal Gadot, IDF veteran, Miss Israel 2007 and a true sensation as DC Comics’ newest star. No matter how many boycotts and thought pieces asking whether she’s a “true feminist,” the only thing that makes the boys question their Gadot enthusiasm is the looming specter of the “real” Wonder Woman, Lynda Carter.
