A former Israeli soldier who posted photos of herself posing with blindfolded and bound Palestinian prisoners has defended her actions saying she did nothing wrong and that she had been a model soldier. The soldier, Eden Aberjil put the images on Facebook in an album entitled “The army: the best days of my life.” In an interview on Army Radio, Aberjil said, “I just had my picture taken with them in the background. I did it out of excitement, to remember the experience.” Yishai Menuchim of the Israeli Committee Against Torture said the incident “reflects an attitude which has become the norm and consists in treating Palestinians like objects, not like human beings”.
