Wrong photo
In regard to the photo of the grieving Arab widow of a terrorist (7/7/04, p. A13), please note that there is no accompanying photo showing grief for the Israeli soldier killed in the anti-terrorist action. He is not even identified until half-way through the article!
If a U.S. soldier had been killed in a similar action in Iraq, would the Post DARE to show a photo of the grieving widow of an Iraqi terrorist, and not one of the dead soldier's family? If a policeman were killed in a shootout with a gang, would the Post DARE to print a photo of a gangster's grieving widow and not of the policeman's?
I believe this lopsided and unfair treatment arises from the Post's fundamental misconception that the "militants" (as they call them) are only trying to liberate the West Bank and Gaza, rather than their real (and acknowledged) goal of destroying Israel. How a supposedly major news organization can believe this is beyond me, but they keep printing it in their articles, and thereby keep brainwashing the public into believing it also.
