An Israeli soldier has been spotted wearing a T-shirt with the slogan 'Deployed, Destroyed, Enjoyed, Gaza 2014' emblazoned on the back, referring to Israel’s deadly offensive in the besieged Gaza Strip.
The man, who is believed to be a reservist, was pictured dressed in the controversial T-shirt while chatting with friends in East al-Quds (Jerusalem) on Wednesday, the British Daily Mail reported.
The photo, snapped by a photographer working for the Associated Press, drew harsh criticism from people who expressed their outrage in messages posted on Twitter.
“You have to question the mentality of someone who wears a T-shirt like this?” Dara de Brun tweeted.
“What kind of person wears a T-shirt like this...surely illegal?” another Twitter user named Kate Jackson wrote.
The photo comes as Israeli warplanes have been carrying out airstrikes against the blockaded Gaza Strip since July 8. On July 17, thousands of Israeli soldiers launched a ground invasion into the densely-populated strip.
More than 1,960 Palestinians, including a large number of women and children, have so far lost their lives and at least 10,100 have been injured in the Israeli offensive.
Earlier in August, Israeli Knesset’s deputy speaker Moshe Feiglin called for the “annihilation” of the Gaza Strip in a post on his Facebook page.
Last month, Ayelet Shaked, Knesset member of the nationalist Jewish Home party, called for the slaughter of Palestinian mothers.
“They have to die and their houses should be demolished so that they cannot bear any more terrorists,” Shaked said, adding, “They are all our enemies and their blood should be on our hands. This also applies to the mothers of the dead terrorists.”
Next month, a panel appointed by the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) is expected to start investigating the crimes committed by Israel in its war on Gaza. |
