'I did nothing wrong,' says Israeli ex-soldier who posed with blindfolded prisoners

A FORMER Israeli soldier who posted photos of herself on Facebook posing alongside blindfolded Palestinian prisoners maintains that she has done nothing wrong.

Eden Aberjil sparked outrage by uploading images of herself smiling next to prisoners who had their hands bound and eyes covered.

The photo album, understood to be titled "IDF (Israel Defense Forces) - the best time of my life", has since been removed, but not before causing a storm on the internet.

The emergence of the pictures have also dominated Israeli news, drawing criticism from the Army and receiving heavy coverage in the Arab media.

I agree with her. Why, oh, why would the IDF make a big deal out of this trivial thing? Predictably, Israel's enemies are now piling on, saying it's just the tip of the iceberg

I imagine the fact that she is female really irks the islamists. BTW, she isn;t exactly gloating in the photo.

Screw these guys, they would rip her heart out if they had the chance. Hope they make lots of these types of pictures and paste them to terrorists’ butts when they TRADE them for people the terror-pigs have kidnapped.

And all I can say is, so what? I am glad she’s not apologizing.

Should she just have sat there stone-faced? After all, they were her prisoners, not she theirs. There lies the rub for the muzzies: a woman guarding male muzz terrorists. Also, there are the inevitable comparisons to Abu Graib

I see nothing, she is not standing with her weapon pointed at their heads. She is not on top of them with her boot in their backs. But, then I am not a rabid insane Islamic Terrorist, either.

If those prisoners were uniformed soldiers, the photo might be considered a breech of the Geneva Conventions. However, they are in no way qualified for protection under the Geneva Conventions — in fact, they would probably have been considered war criminals, because they weren’t wearing uniforms (amongst many other reasons).

Unless she was wearing boxer shorts, those blind-folds look like rags.

I’d be perfectly willing to be tied up and blindfolded by her.

Political Correctness. Her only fault was not realizing what wusses exist in positions of power these days.

She should NOT apologize. And may God bless her!
Stand firm dear girl! And keep smiling...and you’re right... you’ve done NOTHING wrong!

If she were their prisoner, the torture would be unspeakable.
