Israel PM slams humiliating videos of Palestinians

JERUSALEM — Israel’s prime minister has condemned videos filmed by Israeli soldiers that humiliate Palestinians.

The most recent YouTube video appears to show an Israeli soldier dancing around a blindfolded Palestinian Muslim woman.

Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said in a statement Wednesday that the videos cause “unacceptable harm to human dignity” of the Palestinians, embarrass the Israeli military and “cause serious international damage.”

A woman who said she was the one in the latest video, which dates to 2007, recounted the event on Israel’s Channel 10 on Wednesday. The TV says she was a member of Islamic Jihad and was released last year after a two years in prison.

The Israeli in the video has refused to comment. It has not been possible to verify the video’s authenticity.
