Soldier's Facebook photos ignite scandal
A former Israeli soldier posted photos on Facebook of herself in uniform smiling beside bound and blindfolded Palestinian prisoners, drawing sharp criticism Monday from the Israeli military and Palestinian officials.
Israeli news websites and blogs showed two photographs of the woman. In one, she is sitting legs crossed beside a blindfolded Palestinian man who is slumped against a concrete barrier. His face is turned downwards, while she leans toward him with her face upturned. Another shows her smiling at the camera with three Palestinian men with bound hands and blindfolds behind her.
The incident was a reminder of the fraught relations between Israeli soldiers and the West Bank Palestinians under their control.
Israeli soldiers have run into trouble on the social media sites like Facebook and YouTube before. Most recently a group of combat soldiers were reprimanded for breaking into choreographed dance moves while on patrol in the West Bank town of Hebron. The dance featured prominently on YouTube.

A stupid and callous act. She needs to grow up a bit..
Sad to say not shocking. Each side glorifies in this sort of act and they think it makes them look great.
One state solution for Israel and Palenstine. All live together in a democracy under a secular constitution!
Some people here comment without even reading what is posted.

one's own opinion or sharing photos for fun on Facebook, caution should be exercised in this kind of sensitive and political issue at least. Well, maybe posting such photographs give them a sense of pride or patriotism but regardless of race, everyone should be treated with equal respect.
