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.'
