On Facebook: Israeli soldier posed with bound Arab AP

JERUSALEM Israels military has sharply criticized a former soldier who posted photos on Facebook of herself in uniform posing with a smile beside bound and blindfolded Palestinian prisoners.

Israeli news websites on Monday showed two of the photographs. In one, she sits beside a blindfolded Palestinian man. Another shows her smiling in front of three handcuffed and blindfolded Palestinian men.

An Israeli military spokesman called the pictures shameless. Palestinian Authority spokesman Ghassan Khatib said they are humiliating.

Because the woman completed her compulsory military service in 2008, the military spokesman said its not clear whether the military can discipline her. He spoke on the condition of anonymity in line with military guidelines.
