The Associated Press wins prize for photo essay on Hamas war, including photo of Shani Louk’s abduction
Times of Israel ^ | 1/28/24 | TOI Staff

Posted on 03/28/2024 6:50:46 AM PDT by Uncle Miltie

The Associated Press has won a prestigious journalism prize for its photo essay “Israel and Hamas War,” which includes a photo of the abduction of Shani Louk by terrorists on October 7.

The photo, which Pictures of the Year International features on the first slide of a celebratory post on Instagram, shows a half-naked woman lying seemingly unconscious face-down in the back of a pickup truck filled with armed men.

Louk, 22, was at the Supernova music festival on October 7, when terrorists mowed down attendees with gunfire and grenades, killing some 360 people and abducting dozens more, mostly civilians, many amid horrific acts of brutality and sexual assault.

She was officially declared dead on October 30 after a piece of her skull was identified. Her body is still being held in Gaza.

Hosted by the Missouri School of Pictures of the Year International is the oldest photojournalism competition in the world. It’s hosted by RJI at the Missouri School of Journalism.

coming to your neighborhood thanks to open borders and “diversity”. Be sure to thank the Kennedy family for their good ol’ uncle Teddy’s 1965 open borders act.

I would call these beings animals but that would be an insult to animals. Even animals don’t do such things to each other................

They were doing a “ride along”.

They witnessed murder, rape, and mass destruction and did NOTHING to alert ANYONE about it!

Instead of being lauded, they should be put on trial!

Honest Reporting, a media watchdog, has exposed that photographers working for AP, CNN, NYT, and Reuters were embedded with Hamas as they executed terrorist attacks against Israel on October 7, 2023. The photos posted by the news agencies show terrorists breaking the gates to Kibbutz Kfar Aza, where residents were caught completely off guard and dozens were murdered. Photos also show that photographers were on the scene as terrorists took civilians such as Shani Louk hostage, and attacking Israeli tanks on the other side of the Gaza border. One of the freelance photographers, Hassan Eslaiah, whose photos from the massacre were used by both AP and CNN, was reportedly pictured getting kissed by a top Hamas operative who is said to be one of the chief architects of the deadly terrorist attacks.1 CNN reportedly suspended him shortly thereafter.0

The Missouri School of Journalism, if not the University of Missouri, needs to have its academic accreditation revoked.

In another announcement, Buck-toothed Knuckle-Dragger has won the prestigious Buck-toothed Knuckle-Dragger Greatest Human So Far Award, awarded on every occasion a new bottle of Scotch is opened in the Knuckle-Dragger household. The lone judge (Buck himself) noted Buck’s lack of wit and general slothfulness, but it was his profound ability to stagger to bed reliably at the end of the award session and not break anything that won the day. Congratulations are due!

I’m surprised they didn’t use the picture of the young woman getting out of the jeep in Gaza with the back of pants all bloodied. From the results of obviously being raped by many terrorists. I believe this was the German tourist girl that later died.

Those photos were taken by one of the Hamas killers posing as an AP “journalist.”
