[According to Haaretz](http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/1.686880?utm%5Fsource=dlvr.it&utm%5Fmedium=twitter), Israel is no exception. Posters featuring the film’s star Jennifer Lawrence have been hung prominently all over the country—except in cities like Jerusalem and Bnei Brak. There, the posters only show the fiery crown in the background. The image of Katniss Everdeen (J.Law’s character) has been removed. “We discovered that public posters with the image of a female are often torn down in Jerusalem, while Bnei Brak does not allow posters with female images,” a rep from the movie’s Israeli PR firm said. The Bnei Brak municipality says that a regulation prevents hanging posters of women “that might incite the feelings of the city’s residents,” while the Jerusalem municipality said it has no such restriction and is unconnected to the poster in question. \[[Haaretz](http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/1.686880?utm%5Fsource=dlvr.it&utm%5Fmedium=twitter)\] ### See Jennifer Lawrence in Exclusive Hunger Games Portraits  Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen Tim Palen  Jena Malone as Johanna Mason Tim Palen  Willow Shields as Primrose Everdeen and Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen Tim Palen  Natalie Dormer as Cressida and Liam Hemsworth as Gale Hawthorne Tim Palen  Woody Harrelson as Haymitch Abernathy Tim Palen  Elizabeth Banks as Effie Trinket Tim Palen  Sam Claflin as Finnick Odair Tim Palen  Natalie Dormer as Cressida Tim Palen Jennifer Lawrence Removed From Hunger Games Posters in Israel ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4118430/jennifer-lawrence-hunger-games-poster-israel/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4118430/jennifer-lawrence-hunger-games-poster-israel/"},"headline":"Jennifer Lawrence Removed From Some Hunger Games Posters in Israel","datePublished":"2015-11-18T17:51:02.000Z","dateModified":"2026-05-11T04:46:48.525Z","description":"\"We discovered that public posters with the image of a female are often torn down in Jerusalem\"","url":"https://time.com/4118430/jennifer-lawrence-hunger-games-poster-israel/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrity"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb1a269f8c3e50294/698871abe20a8750d3a8e48a/jennifer-lawrence1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb1a269f8c3e50294/698871abe20a8750d3a8e48a/jennifer-lawrence1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Cast member Lawrence arrives for the world premiere of \"The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2\" in Berlin","caption":"Cast member Lawrence arrives for the world premiere of \"The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2\" in Berlin","creditText":"Fabrizio Bensch—Reuters","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4118430/jennifer-lawrence-hunger-games-poster-israel/","name":"Jennifer Lawrence Removed From Some Hunger Games Posters in Israel"}}]}] ```
