JERUSALEM (AFP)-the Palestinian Authority on Wednesday urged the isrælske branch of the Japanese automaker Subaru to act after an apparent parody ad showed one of their cars hit Palestinian young people.
The presumed ad, which appeared on multiple Web sites showed a familiar picture of a isrælsk settler leader running against stone-throwing boys in East Jerusalem last year in his Subaru vehicle.
Subject of the scene was the Hebrew slogan: "see who is going to be on your way ..."
"It is not clear whether this is a real advertising or whether a person is to make use of the Subaru logo" Palestinian Government statement said.
Nevertheless, they said, they had written for Subaru, invite them to take measures against this "terrible use of an image."
"We call on them to take all necessary steps to stop the spread of this abhorrent and disgraceful ad and condemn it," said the letter.
Subarus had Tel Aviv an immediate reaction.
The image came from an incident in October in which settler leader David Beeri hit and lightly wounded two masked stone-throwing boys, aged 10 and 11 of flashpoint Silwan neighbourhood in East Jerusalem.
The event was recorded by photographers and journalists who were there to cover the unrest, which often accompany Friday prayers.
