Iklan Adidas Tampilkan Eks Tentara IDF, Dokter Palestina: Minta Maaf tak Cukup, Harus Diboikot!
Dokter Palestina drg Ahmad Khaled Mahmoud Humidid menilai permintaan maaf Adidas atas iklan yang menampilkan eks tentara IDF Shalev Biton tidak cukup, sehingga perusahaan tersebut harus diboikot. Iklan itu dianggap menormalisasi sosok yang ikut menyebabkan banyak korban sipil, sementara WHO mencatat 5.000-6.000 warga Gaza menjalani amputasi selama konflik. Humidid berharap Adidas tidak hanya menarik iklan, tetapi juga membuat kampanye untuk korban perang Palestina, dan menilai boikot terhadap brand impor bisa menjadi peluang bagi industri sepatu lokal Indonesia.
