Pizza Hut Fires Israeli PR Firm over Prison Hunger Strike Ad
(AP) Ilan Ben Zion - Pizza Hut has apologized and fired an advertising firm responsible for an Israeli Facebook ad that related to Palestinian hunger strike leader Marwan Barghouti. On Sunday, Israel's Prison Service released a video showing Barghouti secretly snacking. Pizza Hut Israel then published a Facebook post with a pizza box superimposed on Barghouti's prison cell, asking if he would rather have broken his hunger strike with a pizza. Pizza Hut International on Tuesday released a statement apologizing for any offense, after a Twitter campaign to boycott the company. The Palestinian Prisoners' Media Committee called off its boycott of Pizza Hut after accepting the apology.
