Haaretz has never (if I am not mistaken) published pictures of dead Palestinians. But then again, why should I be surprised that an Israeli newspaper finds Jewish lives more valuable and precious than Palestinian lives. That formula has been a White House constant for years. Notice how the New York Times, for example, always carries pictures of Israeli funerals, but not--or very rarely, Palestinian funerals. But then again: maybe they think that Arabs do not have funerals in "their culture."
