the feminist librarian reads

I suppose what Pollack and others like him would want is that for the sake of “balance,” every image of a dead Palestinian child should be accompanied by an image of what Israelis are going through. But that wouldn’t actually serve his end of making sure Americans have fulsome sympathy for Israelis and zero sympathy for Palestinians. What we’d see would be Israelis in bomb shelters and safe rooms—uncomfortable, inconvenienced, frightened—but next to civilian neighborhoods in Gaza reduced to rubble and children with their limbs blown off, not exactly a picture to win your propaganda war.
