Worldwide anger over shocking pictures of Israeli soldiers posing with dead Palestinians
Instituto Manquehue – Earlier today I commented about Israeli Abu Ghraib style pictures – now a new set of photographs, taken by Israeli troopers and border guards, have hit the internet, featuring the servicemen posing next to dead Palestinians.

The pictures, published by the Israeli human rights group, Breaking the Silence, on the internet social hub of Facebook on Tuesday also showed the Israeli soldiers wearing smiles in cases, while striking a figure beside bound and blindfolded Palestinian prisoners, some of them dead, Israeli website Ynetnews reported.
The photos unpleasantly remind the pictures taken by US forces at the notorious Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.
The group circulated the pictures after a former female Israeli soldier caused a furor by posting similar images of herself onto Facebook, appearing boldly next to Palestinian captives, similarly handcuffed and forced to wear blindfolds.
“The new campaign came into being in the wake of the publication of (soldier) Eden Abergil’s photos, in order to show the prevalence of this phenomenon among (Israel Defense Forces) IDF ranks,” Breaking the Silence said.
Abergil, who was relieved of her duties a year ago, had posted the pictures under the album name “Army… the best time of my life:).”
“The photographs that had been published are merely the tip of the iceberg. Many people possess thousands of photos, but only a small part is being published.”
Around 7,000 Palestinians, including women and children, are currently held in Israeli detention facilities, reportedly suffering under harsh and life-threatening conditions.
Reacting to Abergil’s photos, another rights body, the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel, had said, “The horrible pictures demonstrate a norm of treating Palestinians like objects instead of human beings – treatment that disregards their feelings as humans and their right to privacy,” the Israeli newspaper Ha’aretz reported on Monday.
Israel claimed existence in 1948, when it occupied the Palestinian territories alongside vast expanses of other Arab lands during full-fledged military operations.
