So an Israeli soldier is fronting an #Adidas campaign. Many Israeli soldiers deployed to the occupied Palestinian territories are very likely complicit in crimes against humanity… from serving an #apartheid regime to the ethnic cleansing and now the Gaza genocide.

I think #Adidas might as well have used this photo of Shalev Biton (the #IDF soldier), no?

From his home page:

Shalev Biton, a soldier and sniper in the Nachal Brigade. It happened on the third day of the 2021 Israel–Palestine crisis. Shalev and the team set out on a mission at the Gaza border.

Thanks for highlighting genocide atrocity

#AltText4u : upper part of image reads: "Adidas launches single shoe program featuring IDF soldier, but continues to ignore child amputees in Gaza". Lower part of image is divided into two. On the left, a male amputee with a prosthetic limb is running, a circle highlights his foot wearing an Adidas trainer. On the right a young child amputee stands with crutches, on one leg in a hospital like environment. The Adidas logo is in the middle.

Not their first genocide, reminder:

#Adidas’s predecessor, the #Dassler brothers’ shoe factory, operated inside Germany, with both founders joining the #Nazi Party in 1933 and converting production to wartime munitions (including anti‑tank weapons) during World War II, before Adolf Dassler founded Adidas in 1949.
