Jennifer Lawrence removed from 'Hunger Games' posters in Israel

[Morphine Prince 106,326]

Most Israeli cities have been treated to the standard poster of the finalHunger Games installment, featuring Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen posing with her bow and arrow. But in the ultra-Orthodox suburb of Bnei Brak, as well as in Israel’s capital city Jerusalem — where several neighborhoods are heavily religious — residents instead received a censored version of the poster, featuring only an image of the fiery crown.

Extremely religious versions of Judaism consider the female image to be licentious, and ultra-Orthodox newspapers, catalogues and advertisements routinely edit out photographs of females entirely.

If I had been the production team, I would have refused to edit my poster and told them to go **** off. We need to stop the demonization of women everywhere in the world, and especially in the Middle-East.

If you actually read the OP, it's only in ultra-orthodox neighborhoods.
