'A former Israeli soldier has been sharply criticised for posting images of herself on Facebook posing next to Palestinian prisoners.The BBC report also tells us that:
Eden Aberjil had put the images in an album on the site entitled "The army: the best days of my life".
Army officials have condemned her behaviour as "shameful" and said they would investigate the matter further.
Palestinian groups said the images were humiliating and revealed the "mentality of the occupier".
The controversial images were among 26 photographs Ms Aberjil posted on her Facebook page.
In one, she is shown smiling next to three bound and blindfolded prisoners and in the second, she is sitting with her face turned towards a prisoner.'
'Palestinians are routinely blindfolded and handcuffed when arrested by Israeli troops, to prevent them trying to escape.
While the photographs do not depict overt abuse, the Palestinian Authority said they did show "the mentality of the occupier to be proud of humiliating Palestinians".
"The occupation is unjust, immoral and, as these pictures show, corrupting," said spokesman Ghassan Khatib.
Yishai Menuchim, head of the Israeli Committee Against Torture, also criticised the images, saying the incident "reflects an attitude which has become the norm and consists in treating Palestinians like objects, not like human beings".'
And then reminds us that:
'Last month, six Israeli soldiers were widely criticised for posting a video of themselves performing a dance routine while on duty in the West Bank town of Hebron.'
Nowhere do I see on the BBC any coverage of the brainwashing official TV output of Fatah run Palestine that regularly compares Jews to a cancer, portrays Jews as inherently evil, denies Israel's right to exist and supports the killing of Jews for Allah.
One ex-Israeli soldier's pictures on Facebook is described as "shameful" and revealing of the "mentality of the occupier" on the BBC but hour after hour of anti-Semitic television and brainwashing of children by Palestinian media does not warrant even a mention. Double standards from a BBC that is institutionally anti-Israel?

What about Hamas "humiliating" their own people, like using children as human shields and murdering anyone they suspect of being an informer etc. etc. ?
Even so , it was rather foolish of this girl to have these photos taken in the first place , let alone post them on Facebook.
Israel must be seen to be whiter than white, otherwise her enemies, including the BBC will pick on every tiny flaw.
