This just goes to show the hideously warped mentality of the IDF, most are not fit for service, except perhaps as murderers and thugs.
Tel Aviv - A female Israeli soldier at the centre of a debate over Facebook photographs showing her with blindfolded and detained Palestinians said Tuesday she does not understand what she did wrong.
'There's no violence or intention to humiliate anyone in the pictures. I just had my picture taken with them in the background,' she told Israel Army Radio.
She said she had not intended to make a political or any other kind of statement, but posted the pictures on the popular social networking site 'out of excitement, to remember the experience.'
'It was about remembering my experiences in the army and that's it,' she said.
The soldier, recently discharged from her compulsory service, posted the photographs, apparently taken in 2008, in a Facebook album she called 'Army...best time of my life :).'
They showed her striking various poses near Palestinian detainees. Attempts to access the photographs via Facebook on Tuesday proved unsuccessful.
An Israeli military spokesman described as 'shameful' her decision to post the photographs, but the Jerusalem Post daily reported that some visitors to her Facebook page found the pictures amusing, with one even saying she looked 'super sexy.'
The Palestinian Authority said the photographs show 'the mentality of the occupier, to be proud of humiliating Palestinians.'
'There is nothing in the world that can justify this humiliation that is part of the Israeli occupation practices on daily basis,' it added.
