Racism of the New York Times: what Arab lives are worth

I received the New York Times this morning: and they have a headline about an Israeli solider to be released in a prisioners' swap.  The headline was about that one Israeli terrorist in custody.  Look at the accompanying picture on the front page and look at the caption:  Palestinian prisoners have no names and they have no loved ones anticipating their release.  But it is no surprise. I picked up the paper this morning knowing that I would be encountering the classic racism of the paper.  And for supporters of the Palestinians: please refrain from following the racist reference point of the Zionist press and don't mention the name of the Israeli terrorist who is custody.  Our prisoners have the names and faces.
