I always found these sorts of things so interesting, insofar as seeing the not-so-subtle way media outlets push you towards one side of an issue. This happened when the bombings were taking place too, where Gaza had suffered around 200 casualties, but after a week the first Israeli had died, and that was the big news story. Of course, one's the official ally, but it's still odd to see, especially on such a hotly debated topic.
