Israeli Suburu car ad boasts run over of Palestinian kids.

    "A new photo advertisement of a Japanese car in Israel has drawn considerable outrage for its implied promotion of running over Palestinian kids.

    The commercial advertisement, published by a Subaru dealership in Israel, features the scene photographed last year, when an Israeli settler struck two Palestinian children with his car in the East al-Quds (Jerusalem) neighborhood of Silwan before speeding away, Xinhua reported on Thursday.

    "We'll see who can stand against you," reads the Hebrew line to the right corner of the picture".


    Whether or not Suburu of Japan was aware of this or not it it is extremely bad taste.

    One would expect this car manufacture in particular would be doing its best to promote business in the light of the current situation in Japan. It would be in their own interest to make a formal apology and clear up the matter..

    Appears to be rubbish, article is not journalism at all.
    'ad' never appeared anywhere as an ad, first anyone ever heard of it was people complaining about it while also providing it.

    But what evil genius would have had the technology to make such a fake ad?

    Oh wait..... anyone.

    tbh, I'd take anything that appears on PressTV with a pinch of salt.. especially if it's to do with Israel

    The advert is fake, it's a still from the news.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,019 ✭✭✭Badgermonkey


    Picked up by Indymedia AND Irans PressTV, though Woodward and Bernstein quiet on the subject thus far?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,759 ✭✭✭✭dlofnep


    Whoever put it up is extremely sick. I don't understand why they'd pick Subaru though, if it wasn't an advertisement for them.

    Exactly. Poor, innocent little kids my ass. Anyone who stands in the middle of the road throwing rocks at traffic deserves what's coming to them.

    If you look at 0.00 of the video you can see the car has actually turned towards them.

    Call me a softy but I don't think a 10 year old kid who is probably only doing what hes seen other kids doing all his life deserves to be mowed down by a car and suffer a real risk of death.

    How did you feel when the British opened fire to some rocks being thrown at them on Bloody Sunday? Did the crowd deserve what was coming to them or is it different for you because they are not MUSLIM (looking through your posts you seem to be VERY anti-muslim, a hugely disportionate amount of your posts are anti-muslim). Funny that.

    Would you advocate the same kind of punishment for little Irish vandals, or do you just hate Arabs?

    I wouldn't turn the car towards a 10 year old and try to murder him no. I'd be pissed off but I wouldn't try to kill a child in response. But thats just me, different strokes for different folks and all that.

    He would stop of course, roll down the window and call them cheeky little scamps.














    Then he would get pulled out of the car and and have his head kicked in.

    Well what would YOU do to people who invaded and occupied your country? I think throwing rocks is the least the natives would do, invading nazi scum:mad:

    If you think running kids over if they throw rocks at your car is justifiable, I shudder to think where you think going too far is.

    There are plenty of Irish kids who throw rocks at cars, should these kids be put on trial and then be run over by a car as punishment? If you say no, I shall assume that you hate Arabs.

    Let's say if they are caught, should we run them over at a later date when they have been found guilty?

    I'm just saying, we don't know what happened before this incident. And if you look at the 1st few frames of the video posted you can see a guy blocking (and throwing rocks) the right hand lane of the road (they drive on the right), thereby causing the driver to swerve.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,778 ✭✭✭Pauleta


    The car has the right of way on the road. As long as the driver is obeying the speed limit he/she should be allowed run over whatever the he/she likes.

    I don't stand on my local road and start throwing rocks and expect the cars will magically miss me. Stop creating a straw-man.

    It's not just about throwing rocks though is it?

    Clearly he hoped they'd move. He skidded to a halt when they didn't.
    But lets face it, their clear intent was chicken ,because they hoped to stop the car.
    I'm guessing that even you in that situation, would put you foot down too because, you know that getting stopped would not end well for you if you got dragged out of a car by the mob of masked men milling around in the background.

    Bit more here, but still missing what happens when the car turned the corner... On the video you were looking at earlier, do you not find it at all suspicious that the whole incident begins at 0:00?

    If a gang in balaclavas tried to block the road of a car in Ireland i would imagine the default response is put the foot down and GTFO out of there. Very disingenuous suggesting its just a few kids throwing rocks though, that car stopped i have no doubt your man was getting the **** kicked out of him or worse.

    U HATE ARABZ MAN. It was boring the first time you posted it.

    I thought you seen a longer version or something, i agree with what your saying.

    Those kids deserved the scare they got. How can anyone defend people who throw rocks at a car on a street? Also this car had a child in it as well.

    edit: Also press TV is nothing but pure Iranian Government propaganda, just saying.

    Cheers for that, so the guy beeped and swerved in a panic and hit the 2 kids. Everyone saying he aimed for the kids can shush now.

    What are you talking about man? Did you watch the extended video? Don't claim stuff like that man, you don't know me. I was commenting on the video and the video only. I never mentioned religion or nationality. I commented on what I saw, human beings throwing rocks at another persons car with intent to cause injury.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 553 ✭✭✭BASHIR


    If me and my family were in that car, and i feared for my life my foot would be going down too, why should I care for their welfare when they clearly are meaning to harm me

    Exactly, turning this into a Palestinian Vs Israeli thing is pure propaganda. First the crap about the Subaru Ad then the heavily edited clip. Common sense goes out the window.

    You realise that the guy in the car, David Be'eri, is a militant zionist who is a developer promoting the expansion of hardline Jews onto Palestinian land. I have no sympathy for him, if he has his way those Palestinian kids will be kicked out of their homes in a few years so he can build more mansions in the 'promised land'.

    Well there's a lot more to the situation in the occupied territories. Scum on both sides. Those Children are the result of the oppression they're living through every day of their lives.

    With that said I doubt yer man went out that day wanting to run children down.

    Whoever uploaded that clip on YouTube had the brilliant idea to remove the context :rolleyes:

    Here's the actual clip. If I'm driving down the road and people, whatever their age, are running towards me with rocks, why would I stop or slow down? Also, if you go outside and run at a car while throwing rocks, you may get run over. Another thing - three people are taking photos, one on the right side and two on the left - can anyone say staged media stunt to provoke sympathy?
