Israeli Veterans and the Spider-Man Boycott
A widespread campaign to boycott the film "Spider-Man: Beyond the New Day" emerged after its global release in July 2026, due to the involvement of the Israeli-American producer Avie Arad in its production. The campaign evolved from social media calls to pressure efforts targeting the audience, following activists' claims that Arad’s support for Israel—especially during the Gaza War—amounted to supporting normalization and cultural normalization. Activists and groups in Egypt, Lebanon, and Jordan urged people to refrain from purchasing tickets and watching the film, considering that contributing to its box office revenue would support political positions that favor Israel, with a particular focus on Arad’s political background and his role in the film industry.
