[ID: the first photo is a graphic calling to boycott the character Sabra (Ruth Bat-Seraph) from Marvel. There's two panels of the comic book character and the actress on it. Text reads: ‘Sabra is a Pro-Israel Propaganda character, her whole comic existance is based on protecting the enthostate of Israel. She is a Anti-Palestinian, Anti-Arab & Islamophobic character. Marvel Studios has ignored fans speaking out against Sabra and calling for Marvel to remove the character from the movie. Israeli actress Shira Haas is set to portray Sabra in Captain America: New World Order. She has shared Pro-Israel posts even during the Genocide of the Palestinians.’ Underneath the info is a section to contact Marvel. They follow:

The photos following in the original post is mostly comic book panels depicting how this character is used as propaganda. They are described under the cut of this post. The photos after the edit are three tweets from @MCUFilmNews, all from 2024. On February 28th it was announced the actress Shira Haas wasn't listed in the cast according to US Copyright Offices and that the film is set to have reshoots.
However, on April 11th, it was tweeted the actress remains in the role and her character has been changed to be a member of the U.S. government, according to Entertainment Weekly. The accompanying photo is a screenshot from the article that reads: ‘Ross isn't the only throwback to The Incredible Hulk. Not counting Shira Haas as Ruth, a member of the U.S. Government, Liv Tyler is back playing Ross' daughter, Betty, while Tim Blake Nelson reprises Samuel Sterns, a.k.a. the Leader, who was last seen being taken into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody after Banner's blood caused him to mutate in that 2008 movie. Mackie doesn't believe Marvel fans need to rewatch The Incredible Hulk to prepare for Brave New World.’ The third photo shows future McDonald's toys for the movie, which includes one for Ruth.
On July 10th @/cosmic_marvel tweeted: ‘Ruth/Sabra has reportedly not been cut from 'CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD'. She is said to be ”very much a lead in this.”’ @/hernandy_s quote tweeted: ‘Friendly reminder that the woman who plays her was exempt from joining the IDF and decided to enroll anyways. We're dealing with true evil here.’
The next photo is an excerpt from the Shira Haas' Wikipedia page, which reads: “She attended the Thelma Yellin High School of Arts in Givatayim, Israel, majoring in theatre, before completing a short period of volunteer service in the Israel Defense Forces' (IDF) performance theatre unit, despite being medically exempted from mandatory conscription.” END ID]
The comic panels follow:
The Incredible Hulk (1968) #256: The cover of the comic. It features the character Sabra—who is a woman with curly brown hair and who wears a white headband that has a Star of David in the center and white leotard that has two stripes of blue at the waist, her sleeve cuffs, and at her calves. On her chest is a large, blue Star of David and it connects her billowing cape to her costume. Her entire costume is meant to resemble the colors and design of the Israeli flag. In the cover, she's angrily flying at the Hulk while shooting out ‘energy quills’—which is meant to be the deadliest antipersonnel designed by the Israeli Secret Angent program. They're designed to paralyze the nervous system of any organism instantaneously. Hulk is crouched in rubble and is drawing a hand up to block the quills. He was kneeling in front of a small, malnourished Palestinian boy who was just murdered by a bomb. Text on the cover reads: “Power and peril in the promised land!”
Marvel Atlas (2008) #2: A page from the comic focusing on Israel. It shows the Israeli flag and location on the map above a long list of information. It follows:

The country's primary superhuman agent Sabra (Ruth Bat-Seraph) has been loaned to the UK and USA in times of crisis; in turn, the X-Men and X-Factor have cooperated with the Israeli government. EXTRATERRESTRIAL RELATIONS: The godly Nauda of the Silver Hand sent a construct to Jerusalem to absorb power from the people's emotions, but the construct was destroyed by the Young Gods. The Silver Surfer (Norrin Radd) once passed through Israel's borders. Lilandra Neramani and other members of the Shi'ar came to Israel to assist the X-Men in halting Legion (David Haller). Uatu and other Watchers visited Israel at the same time to observe Legion's actions.
NONHUMAN POPULATION: None known. DOMESTIC SUPERHUMANS: The Arabian Knight (Navid Hashim) is a Palestinian who left Israel to enter the service of the Saudi Arabian government. Brightsword (Carter Dyam) is a former member of the Israel Defense Forces, and lost his father in the Six-Day War, he was selected to become one of the Young Gods, examples of the best of humanity, and was presented to the enigmatic Celestials, causing them to judge in favor of humanity's continued existence. Mutant hero Sabra is the country's premiere super hero and an agent of Mossad, motivated to combat terror after the tragic death of her son Jacob. Windstorm was another superhuman agent who gained her powers from Sabra, but became an anarchist and had to be defeated by Sabra. Messiah (David Kessler) possessed magical powers that he believed were angelic in nature, but upon learning he was powered by demons and working their will, he killed himself to stop them. Gretta Rabin is the young daughter of a member of legislature, and possesses powerful psychic abilities; she is possibly destined to enable the rise to power of a future dictator. Legion was the son of Charles Xavier, and like his father was a powerful mutant telepath; Legion absorbed the psyches of others into his mind, developing new powers for each of his multiple personalities.
PROMINENT CITIZENS: Mossad agent Rachel Goldberg participated in a mission to the USA to determine if Mendell Stromm was supplying robots to Palestinian terrorists. Benjamin Abramov was a government agent who alerted Moon Knight (Marc Spector) to the danger posed by Nimrod Strange's Slayers Elite, immediately before being assassinated by Strange's agent Master Sniper, Abramov was survived by his wife Anna.

Hayyan Zarour was a prominent Palestinian leader who was briefly held hostage by Dr. Octopus (Otto Octavius) while touring the USA. Major Bathsheva Joseph was an agent of SHIELD and later Worldwatch, but died as the result of a time travel adventure with War Machine (James Rhodes). Max Meer was the son of US ambassadors based in Jerusalem, and was mistaken by Achilles for a prophesied future dictator; the true threat was Gretta Rabin. Daniel Shomron operated a psychiatric hospital near Haifa, and was tragically slain by terrorists. Gabrielle Haller was one of Shomron's patients, and became the mother of Legion, Charles Xavier's son; she later became an ambassador to the USA, advisor to the UN Security Council, and advocate for Magneto. SUPERHUMAN RESIDENTS: The mutants Magneto and Charles Xavier lived in Israel for a time prior to either one becoming rallying figures for mutantkind; they assisted Daniel Shomron in his therapy work. Magneto's clone Joseph stayed at Beersheba while questing to learn his true identity.
DOMESTIC CRIME: Have difficulties with drug trafficking. INTERNATIONAL CRIME: The terrorists of al-Qaeda and Hydra (including their agent Catalyst) and Nimrod Strange's Slayers Elite (Jou-Jouka, Kareesh-Bek, Sumaro) have been active in Israel; the Palestine Liberation Organization were formerly designated terrorists. The Hulk (Bruce Banner) fought with the military during a joumey through Tel Aviv; later, Achilles of the Pantheon attempted to murder Max Meer in Jerusalem, bringing the Hulk to Israel once again. The mutant criminals Avalanche (Dominikos Petrakis), Mystique (Raven Darkholme) and Sabretooth (Victor Creed) as well as the Neo-Nazi Baron von Blimp and Operation: Zero Tolerance's Prime Sentinels have been active in Israel.
HISTORY: In ancient times, the land of Israel was the promised land of the Jewish peoples. However, from 70–1948 the country was known as Palestine, and run in succession by Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Christian crusaders and Ottoman Turks. Jews began to immigrate to Palestine in 1882; immigrants increased in numbers during World War Il due to the massacres in Nazi– and USSR–occupied territories, and the state of Israel was finally established in 1948. Israel has been in conflict with virtually all of its neighbors at one time or another, although the United Nations (and USA in particular) have come to its aid. Israel made itself one of the premier nations in the hunt for Nazi war criminals, and continues to press searches for men such as Baron Wolfgang von Strucker. Strife between the Israeli and Palestinian groups has led to many violent military reprisals, terrorist bombings, local and international interventions.
Marvel Fandom Wiki: a screenshot of the page for Palestine. Text reads: “Palestine was the name of the land of Israel from 70 to 1948. In the Modern Age, Palestine is composed of two separate territories: Gaza: A thin strip of land, bordered at south-west by Egypt, at north-west by the Mediterranean Sea, and from north-east to south-east by Israel. The West Bank: A territory borded at south, west, and north by Israel, at east by Jordan. Palestine and Israel are in conflict, which led to many violent military and terrorist events, along with local and international interventions.”
The Incredible Hulk (1968) #256: A panel from the comic showing Sabra in her civilian life, which is as a cop. She quickly changes into her costume as her thought bubbles read: ‘The military are in no shape to go after The Hulk. That leaves me to stop the monster before he menaces the rest of Tel Aviv! Not as policewoman Ruth Ben-Sera, of course... But as Sabra, super heroine of the State of Israel!’ As she takes off flying, narration boxes reads: “Quilled cape streaming behind her, the female fury soars into the skies of Tel Aviv! She is determined to preserve her homeland from the ravages of The Hulk!” When she announced her name, there was an asterisk for an editor's note. It reads: “The word Sabra denotes a Native-Born Israeli, the name derived from an indigenous form of fruit—a prickly pear possessed of a sweet interior, and a spiny outer surface to protect it from it's enemies.”
A photo of a prickly pear cactus that has fruit growing on it in the Golan Heights. Linked article from the original post [here].
A black and white photo from the Sabra and Shatila Massacre. In it, people look at corpses of the victims to try and find their relatives. The photo is focused on one woman looking down at a wrapped body, a hand to her mouth in a sob as other people behind her do the same. Linked article [here].
The Incredible Hulk (1968) #256: Multiple pages of the comic. In it, The Hulk has transformed back into Bruce Banner. He watches a young Palestinian boy as he thinks, ‘Where in heaven's name has The Hulk brought me to this time?! I remember him wanting to get out—away from The States—to someplace where he'd find peace! Somehow I don't think this is what my alter-ego had in mind!’ But his speculation is suddenly cut off as a merchant cries out, “Stop! Thief!”
A young Palestinian boy is running with a watermelon tucked under his arm. The narration boxes read: ‘The watermelon is almost as big as the hunger of the Arab youth who has filched it. Unfortunately, his frail limbs are unequal to the task of making off with his ill-gotten gains.” Bruce stares at the starving boy for a second, instantly recognizing himself in him, before hiding him in the shadows. He calls out, “That way! The kid ran that way!” and points in an opposite direct to the angry mob that was chasing him. With the child safe, they introduce themselves as they eat the watermelon together.
The boy says his name is Sahad before telling Bruce that he's strange for an American. When asked why, Sahad tells him, “Most Americans are rich! They carry cameras and big pocketbooks that small hands can reach into!” Bruce, slightly amused, asks if he's a pickpocket. Sahad responds, “Sometimes. It's very hard to be an Arab in Israel. Both my people and the Israelis say that this land is theirs. They could share it, but two very old books tell them they must kill each over it. Me, I don't read books. I look for work, and when there is no work at the big hotels running errands for the tourists, I pick their pockets—or beg.” He approaches a man with open hands and calls out, “Alms, sir! Alms for the poor! My old mother has not eaten all week, sir!” The man drops shekels in his small hands while grumbling, “Little begger!” Sahad tells him, “Yes, sir! Thank you, Sir!” Bruce questions if he's being honest about his starving mother and fifteen sisters, to which Sahad dismisses. He offers Bruce more to eat, leaving the man sitting where they were as he goes into a café.
While Sahad is walking away, Bruce thinks, ‘Sahad and I have some things in common... No families, no security. But that's where it stops. No one's hunting him. No one hates him. No one's trying to hurt him. The lucky kid doesn't have a care in the world...’ His thoughts are cut short when a large explosion happens in the room Sahad went into, causing Bruce to scream out for him. The bomb reduced the cafe to rubble as the terrorists point guns at survivors. One declares, “In the name of Arab Sovereignty over these lands, we deal retribution to those who would steal from us! Quickly, brothers! The Israeli military will soon arrive!” Another racist caricature yells out, “Slay any who yet live!” as off panel, Bruce transforms back into The Hulk due to seeing the corpse of Sahad.
Later in the comic, Sabra is attacking Hulk. She shoots her energy quills at him, causing him to stumble from feeling weak. However, at seeing Sahad again, he yells out, “Boy was Hulk's friend! Boy fed Hulk! Now boy is dead! Hulk came here to get away from death, but all Hulk has found is more fighting! Is whole world crazy?! Is there nowhere Hulk can go to find peace?!” He takes the small body of the murdered child and leaps away, police shooting at him. Sabra thinks, ‘The terrorists with whom the creature was in league have been arrested! They will pay for their crime! But if this monster—This Hulk—thinks that he can unleash his savage strength upon the soil of Israel, and then escape with impunity... He must be taught the error of his ways!’ She chases him into the western desert, towards Jordan, as she internally speculates: ‘Why has The Hulk brought the boy's body here—to this godforsaken stretch of desert? Am I wrong in crediting the creature with that much intelligence? He seems pure savagery! Perhaps there is no motive to his madness?’
Once she reaches him, she calls out, “Hulk, I will speak to you in English—hear me! You have wreaked destruction beyond imagination since your arrival in our land! At first I thought you acted mindlessly—but, since you are in league with those Arab assassins I now suspect your presence was a carefully-planned diversion, devised by the terrorists to draw our military away from the scene of their crime! I charge you with complicity in their act of barbarous terrorism—and with the murder of that boy!” This accusation enrages The Hulk. He turns around and screams at her, “Huh? You say Hulk killed boy?! Liar! Boy was Hulk's friend! Boy died because— because...? Yes! Hulk knows! Hulk remembers! Hulk will tell you! Boy died because boy's people and yours both want to own land! Boy died because you wouldn't share! Boy died because of two old books that say his people and yours must fight and kill for land! Now boy is dead—but boy didn't even read books! Hulk came looking for peace—but there is no peace here!” As he shouts, he begins to cry before leaping off to leave.
She stands there as the narration reads, ‘For an instant, Sabra prepares to give chase. She is, after all, an Israeli super-agent... a soldier,’ she moves to kneel by the murdered child as the narration continues, ‘But she is also a woman, capable of feeling, capable of caring. It has taken The Hulk to make her see this dead Arab boy as a human being. It has taken a monster to awaken her own sense of humanity.’
Marvel Super Hero Contest of Champions (1982) #1–3: a multi panel sequence of Iron Man, Sabra, and Arabian Knight in a ghost town. They're there to fight several opponents together due to a bigger, overarching story. In these panels, they introduce themselves. Sabra tells Iron Man, “And I'm Sabra, of Israel! Like the spiny pear that is the symbol of the Israeli people from which I deprive my name—I am harsh to my enemies... Yet sweet to my friends!” Arabian Knight responds, “Bah! Whatever her powers, the Arabian Knight will not fight alongside a Jewess!” Iron Man asks him, “Is it her nationality—or the fact that Sabra's a woman that's bothering you, Knight? How can we hope to gain the prize when we're fighting both the Arab–Israeli conflict and the battle of the sexes at the same time?”
Sabra begins to fly away as she tells him, “Old enmities are not easily set aside, Iron Man.” Knight adds on, “I agree! And, since Sabra has gone to seek the prize her way—then too shall I seek it in mine!” He summons a flying carpet to ride away on.
Later in the comic, Arabian Knight is fighting Captain Britain on a rooftop as his carpet goes underneath Sabra, protecting her from a deadly fall. He calls out, “I trust you have landed safely, Israeli?” She angrily asks, “You mean you ordered your carpet to save me?” He replies, “We are teammates, are we not?” She shouts, “I would rather be dead than allied with you!” This distracts Knight, which allows Captain Britan to land several hits as he mocks, “Not very popular with the ladies, are you, Arab?”
The Incredible Hulk (1968) #279: a close-up panel of Sabra as she says, “As a monster, you taught me about humanity!”
Marvel Super-Heroes (1990) #6: a multi panel sequence of Israeli Anarchists in a house with the American Ambassador's son. A man shouts, “This makes no sense! They had us surrounded! Now they're... retreating?” A blonde woman, Windstorm, tells him, “She always works alone!” The man questions who she is talking about, causing Windstorm to elaborate, “Sabra—the one who gave me superpowers when I was near death! But she was a fool to believe I would use my newfound abilities to serve her precious state!” The man tells her that their agenda is to overthrow the country, not battle superheroes to which Windstorm replies, “Speak for yourself. Today is the day I kill Sabra!”
Sabra crashes through the wall and easily defeats the man before she orders Windstorm to step away from the child. The other woman shouts back, “Don't tell me what to do, Sabra! I'm not the lifeless junkie you found in an alley long ago. Having used your mutant ability to give me half your powers—you made me stronger than I'd ever dream! Strong enough to act on behalf of those who believe no government is better than the one we have!”
The Incredible Hulk (1968) #386–387: multi panel sequence of Sabra monologuing to The Hulk after thinking she's been defeated in battle. She says: “All right, monster. You've got me. Finish the job. But don't expect me to beg. The whole world thinks Israel is weak now. We waited for America to defend us from Saddam, and our pride was far more devastated than our cities. Violence against women here—it's becoming commonplace. Frustrated soldiers are beating their wives be-cause they had to stay their hand against Iraq, our anger eats away even at ourselves. So you take a message back to your American friends, monster. You tell them I died with honor. That Israelis fear no enemy. That our people will never again submit to the murderous tyranny—” Hulk cuts her off, telling her that she won. At her confusion, he repeats himself, “I said ‘you win.’ I surrender. I give up. I admit defeat. Hitting you further would be pointless. It's needless brutality, and besides...it probably wouldn't shut you up. Now would you please scrub your platitudes and listen for a minute...?”
The New Warriors (1990) #58–59: a multi panel sequence of Sabra harassing Batal, a Syrian Super-Agent. Batal has a gun pointed to his head by Vance Astrovik as she encourages him, “Go ahead... Shoot him. Shoot him dead.” Another New Warrior asks her, “Jeez! How can you say that so easily... so casually?” Sabra justifies, “As easily as they killed my son.” Vance lowers the gun as another agent apologizes for the ‘warm welcome’. He excuses, “For some reason, the file on you that I was shown didn't have your picture in it... and you looked a bit like those terrorists we just...” Batal snatches his gun back and holsters it as he sarcastically cuts the man off, “Yes, we all look alike, don't we?”
Later in the same comic, Sabra says she wants him no where near the Prime Minister despite Batal not doing anything to warrant her distrust. Vance, a Jewish man, has flashbacks to Sunday School and how a teacher turnt him away from religion. He thinks, ‘Guess Mrs. Rutstein's passive brand of Torah interpretation didn't sit well with other Jews, either... Especially Israelis.’ He suddenly asks Sabra how old was her son. She answers, “Six. He... looked quite a bit like you, actually... his eyes... his mouth... The Arabs killed him on his school bus. A bomb.” Batal yells out, “‘The Arabs’! It was the PLO who killed your son, witch, not ‘the Arabs’! We're sick of your generalizations—.” Sabra doubles down on her racism, “And we're sick of your terrorism! Every day, living in fear—”
Her rant is stopped short but she still utters, “Peace is all we've ever wanted,” before the group of heros, and Sabra, have to provide security at a peace conference. The agent tells them, “Right, kids, you know your positions. Warriors at the rear exits, Sabra and Batal up front. Sabra, take Rabin's side of the table, if it'll make you happy. Batal, that leaves you President Al-Assad. Have a ball. And stay alert... no matter how mind numbingly boring this gets.” The conference begins as everyone takes their seats. Batal whispers, “Well, Sabra? There's a Palestinian over there—aren't you going to push him out of his seat and claim it as your own?” Sabra, who literally had to have a speech by the Hulk to see a dead Palestinian child as human, replies, “I don't respond to child-killers.” Vance asks if they can just let it go but he's told by another Warrior to just forget it.
X-Men (1991) #67–69, 72–73: a close-up of Sabra as she says, “In my homeland, I am known as Sabra. I can only say that I am a mutant member of the Israeli Super Soldier Program... and that I have been trained by the Mossad. Iceman jokes, “Great. The world's deadliest intelligence agency. Does this mean you have to kill us now that you've said that?”
Marvel Encyclopedia, New Edition (2019): a Wikipedia page for the second incarnation of Arabian Knight, who's now portrayed by being a Palestinian Hero, Navid Hashim. His description reads: “Navid Hashim succeeded the original Arabian Knight (Abdul Qamar) when he was killed. Hashim is a Palestinian working for the Saudi Arabians. Alongside Union Jack, he prevented a terrorist attack on London, earning the grudging respect of Israeli hero Sabra. A highly trained fighter, Hashim wields a magical scimitar, and aided Red Hulk and Machine Man to defeat the Sultan Magus. A third Arabian Knight once fought the Black Panther in Wakanda.”
Union Jack #1–4: several multi panel sequences. In this version, Sabra's costume has been changed to be a dark blue body suit with long sleeves and matching pants, a white leotard, hip holsters, and a Star of David necklace. The comic begins with introductions of the team by Philip Gavin, the assistant director of the secret service organization. He says, “Allow me to introduce Sabra, who's on loan from Israel.” Union Jack responds, “I think we met before. You had a different costume.” She tells him, “I outfit myself according to the needs of my mission. As do you, I've noticed.” He corrects, “With me it's more about what's clean, actually.”
Gavin continues, “And the Saudis have sent their new Arabian Knight.” Another team member, Contessa Valentina, side eyes the Knight as she says, “Sabra and I have been meaning to talk to you about that, Gavin. With all due... respect—sending a Saudi to fight terrorists seems a bit like assigning Hugh Hefner to chaperone your daughter. Especially a brand-new operative we know nothing about.” The Arabian Knight, Navid Hashim, who's literally just been sitting there, responds, “I came here at the request of my government to help our friends, not to have my country's and my integrity questioned.” Sabra snaps, “There are no questions, just facts. Your rulers publicly denounce terrorism while funneling money to its bloodiest practitioners.” Navid defends himself from her accusations, “You dare? I have personally led strikes against the extremists, and lost good men doing so. I will not be slandered by the likes of you—”
Later in the comic, Union Jack asks the Knight how'd he happen to be in the area, to which he responds, “Security for a peace summit, as the woman was for the Israelis.” She then enters, saying their target hung up the phone. Contessa jokes, “No wonder. You sounded about as inviting as dental surgery.” Sabra tells her, “My country does not train its women as whores, Contessa. I am more accustomed to the role of a soldier.” Navid says, “Perhaps you should embrace the sacred role of wife and mother, as God intends.” Sabra grabs him by the throat, her fist drawn back in a punch as she shouts, “That ‘sacred role’ was taken from me when Palestinians ambushed a bus full of Israeli schoolchildren. My son among them. If we didn't need you—.” Union Jack sarcastically comments, “Brilliant. This lot'll kill each other before we ever see a terrorist—”
Later, the team is hypnotized to attack Union Jack. At being told he can distract them by turning them against their ‘natural enemies’, he taunts Sabra by saying he's never thought she'll “get cozy with an Arab” and that she's a “stupid cow” for trusting him. She then calls Navid a terrorist scum and attacks him. At the end of the comic, when everything is finally resolved, Sabra and Navid hold a tense silence before she tells him, “You fought well.” He tersely responds, “as did you,” before they both go their own ways.
Astonishing Tales (2009) #6: a panel of Sabra talking with her friend's teenage daughter, Yael. She tells the teenager, “You must be getting close to your mandatory military service.” Yael admits, “I am. To be honest, though, I'm a little nervous. My best friend graduated high school last year and joined the border guard... she was paralyzed when a rocket hit Gaza.” Sabra goes on to be, as the Hulk has previously expressed, a Zionist recruiting board and reassures the child that it's worth joining the IOF to go murder Palestinians for their land.
Avengers (2018) #11: Sabra and the Arabian Knight sitting next to each other while at a meeting called by The Black Panther. They're discussing an issue with Namor the Sub-Mariner, King of Atlantis. Knight says their oceans are congested and that they all must work together to prevent drowning alone. Sabra adds on, “Navid is right. We cannot do Namor's work for him by tearing each other apart. We'll never all agree on everything, but there must be a mutual respect between us and a sharing of information or else...” From off panel, Ursa Major laughs, “Look at Sabra and the Arabian Knight! Even the Jew and the Muslim are agreeing! How touching!”
BDS HAS CALLED FOR A TARGETED BOYCOTT OF PRO-ISRAEL PROPAGANDA CHARACTER SABRA!!!
BOYCOTT SABRA (RUTH BAT-SERAPH) IN MARVEL'S CAPTAIN AMERICA : NEW WORLD ORDER!!!
As Captain America: New World Order is released I urge all fans who are against Zionism to flood the Captain America tags with messages of Boycott Sabra. All the links provided in the graphic are publicly available from their websites, and social media.
Anti-Zionism =/= Anti-Semitism!!! We are boycotting Sabra not because she is Jewish but because she represents a Pro-Israel, Pro-Zionist message that should not be platformed in any media. Her comics have Pro-IDF propaganda.
Marvel was made aware of the fact that this character promotes a Pro-Israeli & Anti-Palestinian sentiment when the character of Sabra was announced for Captain America 4, despite fan concern, and calls for Marvel to remove this character from the movie and despite have more than enough time to respond to what type of statement this would promote, a Pro-Zionist, Pro-Israel stance and despite reshoots Marvel has still chosen to keep Sabra in the movie. Shira Haas is the actress playing Sabra, she is Israeli and has shared Pro-Israel posts online even during the genocide of the Palestinians.
Marvel claims they will be reinventing the character however a character whose very nationality and backstory relies on Pro-Israel & Pro-Zionist ideals is irredeemable especially because not once in all her comic appearances does she ever change her Anti-Palestinian stance. Israel is currently committing a Genocide against Palestinians. Since of October 7th more than 30,000 Palestinians, of which over 12,000 are children, have been murdered by Israel. Over 60,000 have been injured, more missing, and millions displaced in Israel's genocide and ethnic cleansing of the people of Palestine. This is in addition the 75 year long occupation, countless war crimes, and 16 year blockade on Palestinians.
Marvel claims to care about Jewish characters, but Marvel hasn't even cast Jewish actors for Jewish Characters like Moonknight. Marvel choosing to back a Pro-Israel, Pro-Zionist character like Sabra sends a very clear message that aligns with Marvel Comics long held Anti-Palestinian sentiment. There are other Jewish characters for Jewish representation, such as Magneto, and Kitty Pryde, who were not created with a Pro-Israel, Pro-Zionist background.
BOYCOTT SABRA!!! Send a message, write a tweet, make a post, and tag Marvel and Disney and let them know why you are Boycotting Captain America: New World Order. I love Sam Wilson as Captain America but I will never support a movie that has Sabra as a character.
For more information about the character's history here is a breakdown of her appearances in Marvel Comics.
The Incredible Hulk (1968) #256 - Sabra's Origin
On the cover of Sabra's origin issue is the image of a dead Palestinian boy.
continued...
As we read the issue, we find Bruce Banner/The Hulk has stowed away on the ship "The Star of David" to Palestine, in the comics it is called Israel, however Marvel Comics has long been erasing Palestine, calling it only Israel.
This is Marvel Atlas (2008) #2 page on Israel
Marvel Fandom Wiki states that Palestine was the name of the land before Israel. While I understand that Marvel's 616 Universe is fictional, it's important to state that they base their locations on Real Life locations, and in 1948 Palestine underwent The Nakba, in which Israeli Forces displaced over 750,000 Native Palestinians and killed countless men, women, and children, stole land and homes, and forced the remaining Palestinians into the Gaza Strip which is the world's largest concentration camp, or confined to the West Bank all of which is under Apartheid laws today, or out of Palestine with no right to return to their homes and lands.
That being said, Sabra was created in 1980, as a Mossad Agent, Mossad is the Israeli Secret Service which has done so much harm to Palestinians. In her first issue she was working as a cop in Tel Aviv.
The Editor's note states: "The word Sabra denotes a Native-Born Israeli, the name derived from an indigenous form of fruit - a prickly pear possessed of a sweet interior, and a spiny outer surface to protect it from it's enemies."
Sabr (arabic, it also means "patience") is a cactus prickly pear that is Native to and found growing in Palestine. Read more about it in this article talking about the politics of Palestinian erasure and the Sabr fruit.

“If you look at most Palestinian villages demolished in Israel, what’s left is cactus fruit and olive trees,” says Qattan. Since 1948, he adds, this has imbued the cactus plant with a “mythical symbolism.”
When Blum’s father started the farm, he knew that many parts of the world have cactus fruit plants, so he wanted to make theirs the best. They chose Dimona, in southern Israel, because of its intense sun and “the Zionist dream of making the desert bloom.”
"Making the desert bloom" is a racist Zionist ideals and propaganda that has caused severe ecological damage to Palestine by destroying thousand years old Olive trees to plant non indigenous trees that are not native to Palestine in a form of ecocide. So even the character Sabra, her very name brings a connection back to the Nakba, the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians & promoting Zionism.
However Sabra's name also has another very real and very tragic memory. One I will discuss here before returning to the comics. Just two years after her appearance in comics in 1980, Israel's war crimes continue.
The Sabra & Shatila Massacre 1982
The article linked above has information of what occurred September 16-18, 1982. There were the Refugee camps of Sabra & Shatila, where Palestinians displaced from Israeli Occupation lived, and they, as well as Lebanon Civilians, were killed by the right wing Lebanese Militia working with the Israeli Military, which took the lives of 2,000 - 3,500 people in 2 days. Raped, tortured, murdered. Many Palestinians know the history of the massacre and bringing up the names of Sabra & Shatila is a constant reminder of the deaths that occurred, the war crime that was committed, and that 42 years later not one person involved in the massacre was held accountable.
The Sabra and Shatila massacre is remembered as one of the most traumatic events in Palestinian history and its memory is commemorated annually by Palestinians in Lebanon and in Palestine.
Marvel promoting a character like Sabra who's very creation ties into the Pro-Zionist Israel a statement that Marvel is promoting a Pro-Israel message. No matter what changes occur to the character in the movie, already her very creation, her very name is linked to the deaths and torture of thousands of Palestinians. It does not matter that she was created 2 years before the Sabra & Shatila massacre, her name is still connected to the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from the 1948 Nakba and the creation of Israel.
For anyone who says "Well Marvel couldn't change her name just because of Political Controversy" let me remind you that when the American Black Panther Party gained popularity Marvel changed The Black Panther's name temporarily to the Black Leopard because they didn't want to associate the character with the American Black Panther Party.
Now that you have an understanding of why Palestinians are rightfully boycotting an Israeli Propaganda character let me return to the the comics.
Back to The Incredible Hulk (1968) #256; this comic is one of the most Anti-Palestinian, "Arab Terrorist Propaganda" comics I have ever read so I will briefly outline the plot: The Hulk meets a poor Palestinian boy who was stealing a watermelon (The watermelon is the symbol of resistance for Palestinians) and Bruce spends time with the boy, Sahad, however Sahad is killed by a bomb. Hulk is enraged and fights the Arabs, Sabra intervenes and thinks Hulk is in league with the Arabs and attacks him.
Hulk takes Sahad's body away and Sabra thinking Hulk was fighting with the Arab Terrorists goes after him in order to protect Israel. However she finds that Hulk wasn't the monster she thought he was. Hulk's angry speech about the Israel-Palestine conflict leaves Sabra shaken and for the very first time she sees a Dead Palestinian Arab Child as human.
"For an instant, Sabra prepares to give chase. She is, after all, an Israeli Super-Agent... A Soldier... A Weapon of War. But she is also a woman, capable of feeling, capable of caring. It has taken The Hulk to make her see this Dead Arab Boy as a Human Being. It has taken a monster to awaken her own sense of humanity.
Reminder this is her FIRST FULL COMIC, this is her ORIGIN, and you would think that perhaps she is more sympathetic to the plight of the Palestinians after this but she isn't. Let's continue with the rest of her comic appearances.
Marvel Super Hero Contest of Champions (1982) #1-3
Sabra is included in the contest of champions where superheroes must team up to battle their foes, she is teamed up with Iron Man, and The Arabian Knight (1st incarnation: A Saudi Bedouin with mystic artifacts/powers). Again, the Anti-Arab racist stereotype of Arab men being misogynistic towards women (misogyny is not a trait of ONLY Arab men, it is something that occurs world wide, however focusing it only on Arab men is racist) as well as the Zionist Propaganda lies that Arabs hate Jews, Arabs vs Jews, Arabs and Jews are enemies because of their religion. Not to mention that this Arabian Knight (Abdul Qamar) is from Saudi Arabia, he has no ties to Israel, so Sabra is judging him because he is Arab and has conflict with him because of their countries, it ties into the stereotype that "All Arabs are the same", Saudi Arabia is not Palestine.
Even after The Arabian Knight saves Sabra, she states her hatred and racism towards Arabs; "I would rather be dead than allied with you!"
The Incredible Hulk (1968) #279 - Sabra once again states it was the Hulk who taught her about Humanity.
Marvel Super-Heroes (1990) #6 - Sabra fights Israeli Anarchists who want to overthrow the Israeli Government and saves the American Ambassador's son, who is deaf. The main villain is a woman who Sabra saved by giving her some of her life energy, and she is upset because she did not want to be saved nor does she want to fight for Israel with the powers Sabra gave her. Sabra takes her life energy back and it kills her.
A constant running theme throughout her comics is that one of Sabra's repeated goals is the protection of Israel even above her own life.
The Incredible Hulk (1968) #386-387 - Sabra thinks the Hulk is in league with people who are trying to kill a boy, and attacks him. Later she thinks Hulk has defeated her and has this speech where she says that Israeli Soldiers are beating their wives out of frustration.
Again, how is that not the fault of the soldiers, why is it even when they are perpetrators of violence it's not their fault because they are frustrated?!
The main plot was that a Jewish man, who survived the German Nazi concentration camps, believed the boy to be the next Hitler which is why he wanted to stop him.
I never downplay the horror of the Holocaust or what Jewish people suffered from Nazis, from Anti-Semitism, throughout their history, but I am mainly focusing on how Sabra's character is in the comics and how that related to Anti-Palestinian, Anti-Arab sentiment.
The New Warriors (1990) #58-59 - Sabra reveals that her six year old son was killed by Arabs, bombed on a school bus, after she urges the New Warriors to kill Batal, a Syrian Super-Agent. Batal then states that it was the PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization) that killed her son and to stop generalizing all Arabs.
Batal: Well Sabra? There's a Palestinian over there -- aren't you going to push him out of his seat and claim it as your own? Sabra: I don't respond to child-killers
Again, Sabra's racism against Arabs doesn't end at Palestinian Arabs, but extended to Saudi Arabia and now Syrian Arabs. LET ME BE VERY CLEAR THAT SABRA IS BEING RACIST: Batal has 2, TWO, only 2 comic appearances, he is there as security detail like Sabra is, there is nothing about his character that indicates he's anything but a Syrian Superhero, and Sabra still called him a child killer because she thinks all Arabs are child killers. Batal is written with the stereotypical racist Arab Man writing that many Arab characters suffer from, and he does insult Sabra by calling her an "Israeli Pig" after she treated Batal with disrespect, distrust, and suspicion ever since his arrival.
Sabra is then mind controlled into stopping the peace conference and killing everyone who allowed it to happen. She is stopped by the New Warriors.
Sabra's son is never once shown in a flashback, we are only ever told of him and how he died.
X-Men (1991) #67-69, 72-73
Sabra's dead son's name is revealed to be Jacob, she uses her position in Mossad to get secret information for the X-Men.
She later has plans to track down and kill Magneto, but ends up fighting with his clone, Joseph, before being told that wasn't the real Magneto and stopping.
Excalibur (1988) #120-121
Sabra teams up with Excalibur to defend "Israel" from Legion's ghosts. Then she is debriefed of her mission by Mossad.
Uncanny X-Men (1963) #366, 367, 379
Sabra takes Joseph (Magneto's clone) to an Israeli Military bunker where scientists study his DNA and state he is a clone of Magneto. Later Sabra attends Joseph's funeral.
X-Men (1991) #111
Sabra makes a statement about Magneto; Israeli Super-Agent Sabra weighed in on the looming war with her usual candor, "It is clear to me at least that Magneto has become the monster he claims to despise. There are some factions who believe this rumored son of Israel has brought much shame to his countrymen. Factions who believe he should be dealt with once and for all. Okay maybe not factions. But certainly Individuals... like me."
New X-Men (2001) #131-132
Sabra attends a funeral for Darkstar in #131. In #132 Sabra interacts with the mutants, and x-men, and says to Quicksilver (on the apparent death of Magneto), "I'm sorry Quicksilver, but good riddance. Magneto was a master-race lunatic who coherenced the entire Genoshan mutant population into a war with humanity and brought this on himself."
JLA/Avengers (2003) #4
Single panel appearance where Sabra is shown protecting the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem. Again she is called an Israeli hero.
Side Note: I don't think there's been a single comic where Sabra has a major presence that has not mentioned at least once that Sabra is an Israeli Super Hero, a Mossad Agent, or an Israeli Super-Agent at least once. It's so noticeable that they always mention it and how big of a role it plays in her character.
Excalibur (2004) #5
Flashback two panel appearance of Sabra on Genosha.
Civil War: X-Men (2006) #1-4
Sabra fights on the side of Tony Stark/Iron Man and battles Archangel, then aids an injured Micro Max.
Civil War (2006) #6
Sabra fights on the side of Tony Stark/Iron Man.
Union Jack (2006) #1-4
The Arabian Knight has changed mantles, the 2nd incarnation is portrayed by a Palestinian Hero, Navid Hashim. I make mention of this because in Union Jack (2006) #1 Navid is called a Saudi, then in Hulk (2008) #45 Navid is called a Afghani, however the Marvel Fandom Wiki stated he was a Palestinian and I wanted to confirm it, which I did in:
Marvel Encyclopedia, New Edition (2019)
In the first issue of Union Jack, right off the bat, Sabra has an issue with The Arabian Knight, and is antagonistic towards him.
Navid is written in Marvel's usual racist writing; the misogynistic Arab man stereotype. Navid tells Sabra she should embrace her role as a mother instead of a hero. Sabra snaps and chokes him while telling Navid that Palestinians killed her son. Note how now it's Palestinians and not, Arabs, and not the PLO? Because by now the PLO is no longer considered a Terrorist group, so Marvel can't blame them and instead shift the blame to all Palestinians for the loss of Sabra's son. Arabs is too general, so of course it's the Palestinians.
To this date Sabra's son, Jacob, has still never appeared in any flashbacks, never seen drawn into a comic with Sabra, no mention of who the boy's father is. Nothing except Sabra's loss and hatred of the Palestinians. Even in her first solo comic series, which I discuss further down, does not mention her son. Using the death of an Israeli child to justify villainizing the entire group of Palestinian people is Zionist Israelis do. It's Anti-Palestinian Propaganda.
Later Navid gets hurt and Sabra checks on him, he tries to apologize;
Arabian Knight: About your son... I only meant. Sabra: Don't. We are allies of the moment. Another day I would have driven the dagger home.
Later Sabra, The Arabian Knight, and others are mind controlled by the villain to attack Union Jack. Union Jack is told that he can distract them by turning them against their "natural enemies" and then Union Jack insults Sabra and uses Sabra's hatred and racism towards Arabs to turn her against The Arabian Knight. Sabra calls Navid a terrorist as she attacks him.
The mind control gets broken, and the team rallies to save the day by the last issue. The final exchange between The Arabian Knight and Sabra shows a tense acknowledgement between them meant to show begrudging respect. This is the nicest Sabra has been to any Arab character since her creation. The bar of "showing respect" is literally on the ground.
Secret Invasion #6
Cameo one panel appearance of Sabra in Israel fighting a Skrull.
Astonishing Tales (2009) #6 - Astonishing Tales: Sabra
Tagline in the comic states: Sabra: Whether as an agent of Mossad, or a superhero, the Israeli mutant Ruth Bat-Seraph has never doubted her decision to put her country above self. Fighting alongside the Avengers, X-Men, and Captain Britain, as the patriotically garbed Sabra. Ruth has proven herself a champion to all nations.
"Sabra in Flight" - is one of the most disgusting pieces of Israeli comic propaganda I have ever read thus far in Sabra's comics. For my first time reading it I was shocked at how easily they projected the narrative of Israel as something noble and worth dying for. This piece of utter trash is the very first time Sabra has her own solo comic story. Let that sink in. This is the first time in 29 years since Sabra's creation 1980 that she has her own solo comic story. Sabra's total presence in the comics is 42 years.
The only things we know of her character is that her name is Ruth Bat-Seraph, she was born and raised in a special Israeli Kibbutz (Israeli settlement), that she manifested mutant powers that include; flight, energy quills, poisoned quills, super strength, and life energy transference. Sabra had a six year old son named Jacob who died in a bombing. She has always stated or maintained her solidarity and defense of Israel even above her own life. She is racist to any Arab, especially Palestinian Arabs.
It also important to note her costume changes over the years, her Star of David has diminished greatly from being on different parts of her uniform to just barely being a necklace/neck accessory. Her roles as Israeli Hero is greater than that of her being a Jewish Hero.
This comic introduces us to Ruth at a Israeli social function in Jerusalem, where is with her mother. Her mother tells her not to spill anything on her Sabra uniform, and mentions how people want to talk to her, Their Greatest Soldier. Again the emphasis on her being an Israeli Soldier and a Mossad Agent is hammered home in the first page of this comic.
Mother: "Your dad would be so proud of you, Ruth. To see his daughter in uniform protecting the Nation." Ruth: "I just hate being put on display at these receptions. I am a Mossad Agent after all."
Then the next bit of news we learn is that Sabra has a brother. So now we know she has a mother and brother who is living, and her father is deceased. Next a old friend of Ruth's arrives with her teenage daughter, Yael, in tow, she introduces Sabra to her daughter and leaves them to talk. Sabra then mentions to Yael that she must be getting close to her mandatory military service soon. Yael mentions she is nervous because her friend was in the military and was paralyzed in Gaza.
Sabra then spends the next part of the comic reassuring Yael that it's ok to be nervous and that she was nervous too sometimes and mentions a story where she faced Hydra, and that when Yael goes into the Israeli military (IDF: Israeli Defense Force) she will learn a lot.
Sabra: "You'll learn a lot when you enter the Military. But the biggest thing you'll discover is that you have two families; your military family, and your personal family. Both will always be there for you, and perhaps even sacrifice themselves for you. A hard truth I learned the day my dad died rescuing me."
Yael mentions how her father was killed by surface to air missiles, and then goes on to say she was accepted into the air force flight academy and she always wanted to fly but that she was nervous. She mentions she might go into Military Intelligence. Sabra says that is good too but Yael then says she feels she was always meant to fly. So to convince Yael go into air force and alleviate her fears Sabra then takes her in her arms to fly her over Jerusalem and tells her that this land is what their dads died for. And she is convinced that Yael will make the right choice.
Side Note: Excuse me while I throw up, this entire comic made me feel so disgusted. I always try to write and speak about comics as professionally as I can but fuck this comic. Fuck this Pro Israel Propaganda. Fuck Sabra. Fuck this Pro-IDF comic. Fuck making an entire comic about reassuring a young teenage Israeli girl to go and join the IDF to fight in Gaza, to kill Palestinians. THIS. This is why Sabra will NEVER be able to be divorced from her origins, her character, as a Pro-Israeli Super Agent. No matter what Marvel tries to put into the movie this is who the character is at her very core.
Over 12,000 children have DIED since October 7th. Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people, but Marvel and the MCU, and Disney think it's ok to have a Israeli Superhero in a Captain America movie? Boycott. Scream out online to them. Tell them we do not want their Israeli Propaganda. Sabra should never ever be used for any platform, movies, shows, animation, comics, ever again. Over 30,000 Palestinians have been slaughtered by Israel in the last few months alone. Never forget.
I'm shaking with rage as I write about this comic but we move on. There's still some comics left to discuss. However in my firm opinion this character is indefensible, she literally is an Israeli Propaganda character. She is propaganda for the IDF.

Avengers (2018) #11
Sabra and the Arabian Knight are at a meeting called by The Black Panther. T'Challa wants everyone to work together, they are currently discussing an issue with Namor the Sub-Mariner, King of Atlantis. Ursa Major makes fun of the situation; "Haaaa, look at Sabra and the Arabian Knight! Even the Jew and the Muslim are agreeing! How touching!
Zionist propaganda of making it seem as if the conflict between Israel and Palestine is a religious conflict between an Arab and a Jew. Making of a Jewish and Muslim character getting alone because they should be fighting is racist, Islamophobic, and anti-sematic. The conflict between Israel and Palestine is NOT a religious conflict, Israel has been occupying and murdering Palestinians for 75 years. It is a conflict between Israel being a colonizer and Palestine being colonized. Israel is committing a genocide as I create this post.
At the end of all her appearances spanning 42 years Sabra has not once changed from her palestinian, arab hating, israeli zionist roots. All we get is her trading a few words back and forth with Arabian Knight and acting like an adult at a table full of kids. There isn't even respect between them. That is all the appearances of Sabra.
Why is important to boycott Sabra? In addition to the character being Pro-Israel, Pro-IDF Propaganda, giving a large platform like the one an MCU movie provides will give the actress a larger platform.
Israeli Actress, Gal Gadot, who is Pro-Israel, Pro-Zionism, Pro-IDF, and was a former IDF soldier, was cast in a high profile role of Wonder Woman, she used her platform, power, and access to thousands of fans to further messages of Zionism and even promoted a Pro-Israel propaganda film to be aired in Hollywood. The film was used to further the Zionist agenda of continuing their genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza. Bearing Witness (2023) is a Israel IDF propaganda film that Gal Gadot endorsed as Israel continued their genocide of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
Wonder Woman isn't even Israeli, however the actress used her ties to the character to promote Israel. In Wonder Woman: 1984 there is a very racist, Anti-Arab, Anti-Palestinian message including a scene where Wonder Woman, played by Gadot, saves 4 Arab boys from a missile. Article Link
Why is that scene so controversial? Because Israel murdered four young boys who were playing on a beach in Gaza back in 2014 by a drone missile strike. Article Link
Gal Gadot and now Shira Haas having roles in movies with as much exposure as DC and Marvel movies promotes Israel, and Zionism. Pro Zionist groups have already voiced their approval of Shira Haas playing Sabra.
I will boycott any piece of media that features Sabra, the Israeli Propaganda Super Agent.
Use the Captain America tags to Boycott Sabra.
If you have read this far then please support Palestine. Support Palestinians and fight against Zionism. Comics were created by Jewish Creators, do not let Zionists try to erase their contribution or use comics to promote Zionism. Comics are never created in a vacuum, they are the pulse of current pop culture, of current news. Comics are Political and always have been. Marvel choosing to keep Sabra in the MCU sends a clear message of support for Zionism & Israel.
