Rights group: IDF soldier's Facebook images are the rule, not the exception
Breaking the Silence publish photos of Israeli soldiers posing with Palestinians, urge army spokesman to stop 'insulting the Israeli public's intelligence.' Facebook pictures depicting Israel Defense Forces soldiers depicted alongside handcuffed Palestinian detainees represent the norm, not the exception, in IDF conduct, an Israeli human rights group said on Tuesdays, thus refuting an official army statement claiming otherwise. Photographs uploaded by Eden Abergil released earlier this week and labeled "IDF – the best time of my life," caused a public as a result of them depicting her smiling next to Palestinian prisoners with their hands bound and their eyes covered. A comment attached to one of the photos of the soldier smiling in front of two blindfold men and posted by one of Abergil's friends read "That looks really sexy for you," with Abergil's response reading: "I wonder if he is on Facebook too – I'll have to tag him in the photo." Jerusalem Post: IDF Facebook poster denies wrongdoing.
[Editor's Comment:] Well, Eden Abergil (the Israeli soldier in the photo) has in fact done something wrong -something very wrong and reprehensible, even though she seems incapable of realizing this herself. Just like the US soldier in America's torture center in Abu Ghraib who gave the thumbs-up to a torture job well done, Eden Abergil now displays the same shallownes and shocking lack of empathy. This is what we find in sociopaths and people with severe personality disorders. This kind of mentality is very prevalent in the Israeli army, where Palestinians are seen as subhuman and are treated as vermin on a daily basis. This is a manifestation of racism and of sheer tribalism, pure & simple, cultivated by the Zionists over a long period of time. The IDF soldiers' abyssmal ignorance and backwardness was bound to pop up in the mainstream news in this way sooner or later. We're not surprised. Not in the least.
