My first bullet, his last breath:Instagram reveals dark side of Israeliarmy (PHOTOS)February 23, 2013 15:21

Disturbing photos that show IDF soldiers

enjoying their dominance over Palestinians

in the occupied territories have caused a

huge public outcry. They also triggered an

online search for more such content posted by Israeli troops in social

media.

Days after the infamous picture of a Palestinian boy in the crosshairs

of a rifle went viral on the web, similar photos made by Israeli troops

in the West Bank have been discovered on Instagram by bloggers.

Several Instagram users who appear to have served in the IDF have

posted galleries of photos, showing Israeli soldiers posing with

weaponry, detaining Palestinians and raiding homes at night, which

are accompanied by rousing tags or commentary.

Instagram user ybaruch claims to be 21 years old, describing himself

as a retired operations sergeant at the Israeli army, now just a student.

Some more provokative pictures can be seen on the page of another

Israeli soldier, Orif Binder, who posted an image of an obscene

gesture towards Palestinian flag with the words Hamas Patrol

written on it.

Another user dk_1988_, who appears to have been a border guard,

has uploaded a photo of detained Palestinians, which is followed by

a caption: Dont fuc* with the Israeli army!

Such images show the abuse of power and reveal the level of

contempt the IDF soldiers have towards Palestinians, the Electronic

Intifada blogger Ali Abunimah said, commenting on them in his post.

The IDF has already launched an investigation over an Instagram

picture of a Palestinian boy made through his weapons sight, which

an Israeli soldier Mor Ostrovski uploaded.

This is hardly the first scandal to have gripped the IDF. In 2010 a

former Israeli soldier Eden Abergil, who posted photos on Facebook,

in which she was shown posing next to handcuffed and blindfoldedPalestinian detainees, sparked outcry. The woman has since dismissed

any criticism of her actions, and her smiling photos went viral.

Harmless pictures...and you having troopers in Tchechenia have nothing
