Bloodshed

This photo of a pregnant Israeli woman injured in a terror attack in Taba was on the front page of the New York Times today.



I don't have a problem with this photo, but I wonder why images of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces never make the front page. Perhaps this photo of a dead Palestinian child should have made the cut back in May when the citizens of Rafah were under indiscriminate attack from Israel. Balance is a good thing in journalism, isn't it?
