“Many readers asked why The Post didn’t balance the photo of the grieving father
with one of Israelis who had lost a loved one from the Gaza rocket fire. That’s a valid question.
The
answer is that The Post cannot publish photographs that don’t exist. No
Israeli civilian had been killed by Gaza rocket fire since Oct.
29, 2011, more than a year earlier. The first Israeli civilian deaths from Gaza rocket fire in 2012 did not take place until Nov.
15, when Hamas, the group that controls Gaza, began firing
more accurate and deadly missiles in response to the Israeli offensive
that had begun the day before. There were no recent photos of Israeli
casualties to be had on the night of Nov. 14.”
