"Military Police are holding a criminal investigation against a soldier suspected of recording Palestinians in humiliating situations, Ynet learned Monday.

The soldier, Staff-Sergeant R, is a former combat soldier who serves in one of the IDF's infantry units. Captain Bella Gacht, who represents the prosecution, says three photographs were found on his cellular phone from last February depicting R. holding a rifle to the head of a blindfolded and bound Palestinian.

In another picture, Gacht says, R. is seen aiming a kick at the man's head, and in another photo he is making an indecent gesture towards him.

Two video recordings were also found on the soldier's phone, she claims, which were recorded last year. In one of the videos "Palestinian children are seen raising their hands and placing them on their heads at someone's orders". The orders were given in the form of a popular Israeli children's song."

1. Humiliating them? More like brutalizing them.

2. 'Humiliating' is putting it mildly.

The soldier deserves to be punished severely if convicted.

3. but but what difference does that make? after all we're told

the only reason that Palestinian children grow up hating Israeli's/IDF/Jews is because the PLO/PA/Hamas teaches them to, this type of thing couldn't possibly be an influence:sarcasm:

4. I agree with the others in this thread. It's more than humiliation n/t
