Film posters featuring women covered in north Tel Aviv
Residents of Ramat Hachayal awoke one day to find that someone went around covering images of women on bus stop ads; locals fear rise of religious extremism.
A kiss between actors Jamie Bell and Annette Bening and the uncovered legs of actress Margot Robbie, both featured in ads on bus stops, have been convered up in the northern Tel Aviv neighborhood of Ramat Hachayal.
The censorship was carried out not by the Film Review Board, but apparently by ultra-Orthodox residents living in the nearby neighborhood of Neve Sharet.
Film Stars Don't Die In Liverpool
The poster for the movie “Film Stars Don't Die In Liverpool,” featuring two the actors kissing, was completely covered, as were the actress' legs in posters for the film “I, Tonya”. Other posters featuring images of women were also covered.
Residents are fearful of phenomena that may signal an increase in religious extremism.
