Front page of the New York Times

1027 Palestinians were exchanged for one Israeli occupation terrorist.  Guess which picture of the 1028 made it to the New York Times?  Of course, one person and it was not an Arab.  But that was not it.  A special editorial by the New York Times declared:  "We share the joy of Israelis over the release of Sgt. First Class Gilad Shalit".  There is not even an attempt at being balanced at the paper.  The paper, however, was upset and depressed.  It thought that the Israeli occupation terrorist whose work of killing Palestinian women and children was interrupted by his abduction, did not seem well-fed.  Maybe the terrorist was put on the same calorific diet that Israel imposes on the entire population of Gaza.
