I don't know about that. They cast a woman who voluntarily served in the IDF and her character is named after one of the worst massacres carried out by those monsters. That is pretty controversial.

Shira Haas has literally protested the far-right government in Israel and the path it's going down. Her voluntary service was in theater, nothing else... not that that matters to protesters because the plot has been lost entirely.
Also the comic character is named that because it's a criticism.
Not to mention that the character has been entirely sanitized in the film (as the MCU usually does) and stripped of almost all of that aside from her being born in Israel and is never even called that name.
Ultimately this was nothing and an artificial distraction from the real issues.
This is why I've generally shut up on the whole front, because while I'm critical of the Israeli government and the dehumanization and massacre of Palestinians has been horrific.... the general public has no clue how to effectively protest it or capacity to understand the nuances.
