Photos show Israeli troops 'abusing Palestinians'

Israeli NGO Breaking the Silence has posted a new set of photos of soldiers posing in Gazan homes during Operation Cast Lead.

The Jerusalem Post | Published: 10/26/2010 11:23

The pictures appeared Sunday on the Facebook social networking site, two months after reserve soldier Eden Abergil made headlines posting similar photos.

The album, titled “Cast Lead,” features three photos.

The first shows an IDF soldier pointing a gun at a blindfolded man; the second shows a soldier squatting in a kitchen where two women donning hijabs are cooking.

The final photo shows a soldier spraying grafitti: a Magen David and “back soon” in Hebrew.

Facebook users posted extremely negative comments, condemning the soldiers’ “evil deeds,” and depicting them as “a terrorist at work.”
