Eden Abergil’s puckish smile, as she humiliates Palestinian prisoners, is of course everywhere. Not in Haaretz. There her face has been blurred. Apparently this is the military censor’s work. Jerry Haber says the IDF censor has insisted on it.
It can’t be to protect Abergil. She put up the shocking photos herself, under the title "IDF-The Best Time of My Life." Everyone has seen that oval face. Is the IDF proving that it has the power to censor Haaretz? Or more likely, to prevent her image from becoming iconic, at least in Israel. Whatever the reason, they’re airbrushing the first draft of history.
