Israel believes its soldier's life is more valuable than keeping hundreds of convicted terrorists behind bars. Also, Noam Chomsky would be happy to know that the New York Times gives plenty of coverage to Palestinians' lives in Gaza: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/11/world/middleeast/11iht-letter.html; http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/27/world/middleeast/27gaza.html; http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/22/world/middleeast/22rafah.html?fta=y.
