New York Times Scrambles to Defend Pulitzer-Winning Photo of 'Starving' Gazan
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | MAY 05, 2026 | Ira Stoll

The watchdog group Honest Reporting said the Alghorra Pulitzer is “a prize built on staged scenes, a manufactured ‘famine’ narrative, and intimate access to Hamas terrorists.”

Said Honest Reporting, “One of the winning photos shows 2‑year‑old Yazan Abu al‑Foul, turned by the NYT into the face of children ‘starving’ because of Israel. Yet the original wire copy notes that Yazan has four older siblings – none of whom appear in the Pulitzer portfolio – and the same mother and child were repeatedly shot by multiple agencies in near‑identical poses, raising serious questions about staging, consent and how one family was repackaged into a global ‘famine’ poster‑child.” Many of the emaciated-appearing children used in press photographs aimed at charging Israel with imposing starvation had underlying preexisting other health conditions that caused their distorted appearance, though Yazan Abu al‑Foul is not known to be one of those.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

The Old Grey Lady up to her usual tricks.

And the Pulitzer people also joining in the photo-zing with all their might.

All the more reason it should always be referred to as the Pulitzer-Duranty Prize.

Israel just allocated $700,000,000 for a US propaganda campaign.

And exactly how much money does our OWN government spend to propagandize its own citizens?

Hint* It's way more than the number you posted thanks to Obama and Biden...

Kinda like the Pulitzer prize awarded for covering the Russian collusion story. Which was all fake. Emmy’s Oscar’s Nobel... All left wing propaganda lies.

Let's keep things balanced when it comes to Israel.

Grok: This is a global effort, not exclusively for the United States. It covers social media advertising (~$50 million reported in some breakdowns), bringing in foreign delegations (politicians, clergy, influencers, university leaders), media monitoring, AI tools, and influencer campaigns. thecradle.co

How would you fight high financed and organized propaganda? Convert to Islam? Let your daughters join Mohammed’s harem?

Don’t tell Pucker. He probably nominated the Time’s story for the award.

In 2015 A dead child used as a prop on a Turkish beach caused Europe to open its gates and let in Millions of Islamic Al Hijrah Colonizers. Does propaganda work?

“Israel just allocated $700,000,000 for a US propaganda campaign.”

Great to see Israel FIGHTING BACK, but a bit late. Hamas (i.e., the actual terrorists) definitely had the propaganda edge, to the point of having virtually every college-educated woman rallying for them. It was SICKENING.
