A young Israeli woman posted photos from her time in the Israel Defense Forces in which she is seen posing near cuffed and blindfolded Palestinians on her Facebook page.
Eden, an Ashdod resident who was recently discharged from the army, apparently had her pictures taken with the Palestinian detainees in 2008. The photos were posted in an album titled "Army…best time of my life
"

The photos quickly caused a stir on the internet with many net surfers shocked by the images. Some of her friends however responded with enthusiasm.
"You're super sexy here," one of her friends wrote her. Eden responded: "Yeah, I know, ha ha, what a day that was, see how he completes my picture, I wonder if he's on Facebook! I have to tag him in the photo! Ha ha."
The IDF Spokesman's Unit said in response: "This is shameless behavior by the soldier. In light of the fact that she was discharged last year, all of the details have been turned over to the commanders for further attention."

Director of the Public Committee Against Torture Ishai Menuchin said, "These types of pictures reflect the customary norms of IDF soldiers stationed in the crossings and the treatment given to Palestinian detainees."
Menuchin added, "The soldier's behavior is a product of popular IDF culture which does not consider the Palestinians as human beings with their own rights. It appears the soldier who uploaded the pictures enjoyed humiliating the detainees and disregarded their right not to have their pictures published online in humiliating circumstances, without their knowledge."

Eden Abergil: ‘I’m B-A-C-K’

Eden Abergil's homicidal Facebook rants: '[censored] you, stinking Arabs'
Just like a bad penny or Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Terminator, Eden Abergil is back to wreak havoc once more. Several months ago she found notoriety by proudly uploading to her Facebook account pictures of her simpering as an IDF soldier next to blindfolded Palestinian prisoners. She clearly was primping for the cameras and using the prisoners as her own personal props over which she could lord herself and gloat.
She mortally embarrassed the IDF for about 5 nanoseconds and was made to issue a faux-sincere apology:
I apologize if anyone was hurt [by what I did]. I actually took pains to look after prisoners.
Now she’s back, but in much bloodier form. Once again, she’s using Facebook, and once again she’s uploaded the formerly embarrassing pictures of abused Palestinian prisoners. But now she’s expressing downright homicidal views. Ido Kenan reports (Hebrew) that she come out swinging against not only the killers of the Fogel family of Itamar, but all Arabs. In the first posting she writes:
DDDEATHHH to ARABSSSSSS
In the second, she writes:
[censored] you, stinking Arabs!!!
In the third she writes:
C’MON LET’S MAKE AN ARAB SHOAH NOWWWWW!!!!!!!!
One of his Facebook Friends jokingly warned her that the new images might end up on TV. To which she replied:
Death to Arabs. Let ‘em!
This is the true face of Israeli youth. At least a large slice who harbor barely concealed homicidal rage against all Palestinians that needs only the spark of a terror act to rear its ugly head. No recognition, of course, on the part of Ms. Abergil that her own actions as an IDF soldier in abusing prisoners under her “care” did their share to fuel fires of hatred.
It shouldn’t be any wonder that one of the “lucky” Palestinians to have himself degraded before the world in these pictures, was sentenced this week to 7 1/2 years in prison for allegedly arranging for the preparation of suicide vests. It didn’t assist the convicted man that he claimed he’s actually persuaded a would-be suicide bomber not to carry out an act of terror. Such claims are automatically discounted in the face of Shabak “evidence.”
H/t to Dena Shunra.
