Israeli Soldier Posts Images of Blindfold Palestinians on Facebook

TEL AVIV, August 16, 2010 (WAFA)- A former Israeli  female soldier has raised a storm on the internet after posting photographs of herself posing next to blindfold Palestinian prisoners on Facebook, Haaretz reported.

Photographs uploaded by Eden Abergil from Ashdod and labeled 'IDF – the best time of my life' show her smiling next to Palestinian prisoners with their hands bound and their eyes covered.

'That looks really sexy for you,' says a comment posted by one of Abergil's friends on the social networking site, alongside a picture or the soldier smiling in front of two blindfold men.

Abergil's repose, posted below, reads: 'I wonder if he is on Facebook too – I'll have to tag him in the photo.'

Because Abergil was discharged a year ago, the army has no power to prevent her from publicizing the photographs.

The pictures have since been removed from the site - but not before being duplicated across the web by a variety of bloggers and news sites.

The Israeli army said in a statement: 'These actions are ugly and callous; details of the incident have been forwarded up the chain of command.'

Israeli blogger Lisa Goldman contacted the former soldier via Facebook, who replied: 'I don't speak to leftists.'
