Protests Erupt Over Adidas Israel Campaign
Adidas faced widespread criticism after choosing an Israeli soldier who lost his leg during the Gaza war to participate in a promotional campaign for the "Single Shoe" product. The soldier, Shalev Peiton, who fought in the Gaza war in 2021 and was seriously injured when an anti-tank missile targeting his military vehicle struck him, appeared in the campaign trying on a shoe and running in a store in Israel. The image sparked angry reactions on social media platforms, with many users viewing the campaign as an insult to Palestinians, especially considering that thousands of Palestinians have had limbs amputated due to the war. Others called for a boycott of Adidas products. The move drew criticism from public figures and influencers, highlighting the controversy over using images of Palestinian suffering in commercial campaigns, amid calls to reject the company's promotion.
