A sickening image of Hamas terrorists parading a slain woman’s near-naked body through the streets of Gaza has been awarded a prestigious photo-of-the-year prize — sparking fierce outrage from those who slammed the win as “an outrageous desecration of Jewish life.”

The grim photo featuring Shani Louk’s body was among a collection of 20 images that helped the Associated Press secure first place in one of the Pictures of the Year International award categories earlier this month. The awards, which are run by the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute at the Missouri School of Journalism, are self-described as being the world’s oldest photojournalism competition.

News of the AP’s win in the “Team Picture Story of the Year” category prompted widespread backlash on social media, with some slamming the accolade and the use of Louk’s image as an “outrageous desecration of Jewish life.”

I don’t give a single damn about PALESFAKIENS; they need to be ERADICATED, every MAN, WOMAN, AND CHILD.

The only way you can get rid of LICE is to eradicate them all, including nits.

I get it. But the best thing to happen after 9/11/invasion of Iraq is MBS. Now Saudi Arabia is modernizing. They’re no longer as fundamentalist. The question is after MBS, what will Saudi Arabia be like?

I made that twenty years ago I mainly just wanted to resurrect it.

FWIW, China killed more Americans due to coronavirus.

Sick, disgusting, abhorrent, depraved and evil.

[SheepWhisperer]

at about the photo of the napalmed Vietnamese girl? Was she guilty?

She was innocent as sunshine.

The evil war machine leftists are guilty.

“Religion of Peace” as formally declared by the White House right after the World Trade Center collapsed on itself. Whom are we to believe, the American people need to know as they notice the many muzzies seated in Congress and as they notice American support of Hamas to increase.

We sure do live in interesting times

THAT sonofabitch got off easy - lights out without pain. He deserved FAR worse.

Goddammit, people, learn history!!!

I want you to take it with a Graflex camera as they did that glorious day over Hiroshima.

I echo your sentiments.

Agree.

I give weight to the views of the victim's family:

In an interview with Israeli news outlet Ynet on Wednesday, however, Louk's father, Nissim, said he was happy the image had been selected. "This is one of the most important images of the last 50 years," he said. "These are the images that shape human memory. The Jew with raised hands. The paratroopers at the Western Wall. These are images that symbolize an era. This documentation of Shani and the video of Noa Argamani on the motorcycle are symbols of this period. I really think it has a purpose to inform the future."

Neither the AP nor the organization giving the award could bring Shani back to life. The photo means that, in death, she has helped to expose the evil of Hamas.

States had to pass versions of the Son of Sam laws to stop the widespread money flow to murderers as they capitalized on notoriety with the help of camera crews and ghost writers of bestsellers.

Using the tragedy of an innocent woman’s fear and pain for a photo op and an award is sickening.

As I said, the Vietnamese officers reaction was, on a personal level, completely understandable. However, it still was not according to the laws of civilized nations. The terrorist was already in custody and available to face formal justice.
