The new Israeli ad imposed this scene in which a settler injured two boys, with the slogan: ”See who will stand in your way.”

JERUSALEM — The Palestinian Authority Wednesday called on
the Israeli branch of Japanese automaker Subaru to take action after an
apparent parody advertisement showed one of their cars hitting Palestinian
youths.

The supposed advertisement, which appeared on several
websites, showed a well-known picture of an Israeli settler leader running over
stone-throwing boys in east Jerusalem last year in his Subaru vehicle.

Imposed over the scene was the Hebrew slogan: “See who
will stand in your way…”

“It is not clear whether this is a genuine
advertisement or whether someone is making use of the Subaru logo,” a
Palestinian government statement said.

Nevertheless, they said they had written to Subaru, urging
them to take action against this “horrible use of a picture.”

“We urge you to take all necessary steps to stop the
circulation of this despicable and disgraceful ad and condemn it,” the
letter said.

Subaru’s Tel Aviv office had no immediate response.

The picture came from an incident in October in which
settler leader David Beeri hit and lightly injured two masked stone-throwing
boys, aged 10 and 11, in the flashpoint Silwan neighborhood in east Jerusalem.

The incident was recorded by photographers and journalists
who were there to cover the unrest that often follows Friday prayers.
