Vile: AP wins award for photo of Hamas terrorists proudly posing with their 'kill' like big game hunters

In the arts these days, they insist that context is everything.

So what is one to make of this vile picture, of Hamas terrorists from the October 7 massacre proudly posing with their 'kill' on the bed of a pickup truck, the mangled, mutilated, body of a 22-year old woman, proudly preening and posing for their trusted photographer from the Associated Press?

Shame on @RJI for awarding @AP 'Picture of the Year' award, of this image, which their Hamas-embedded photographer took of Shani Louk, as she was murdered, violated and thrown on back of pick-up truck!

I thought lefties didn't like photographs of big-game hunters posing with their gratuitous kills. Seems there's an exception now, if the 'trophy' is a woman and a Jew.

According to the New York Post:

A sickening image of Hamas terrorists parading a slain woman’s nearly 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 the world’s oldest photojournalism competition.

It must be seen

Oh, I agree. And that's why I posted it in post 12. Which has been removed. Was it snowflakery on the mods part, or was deks correct in that it violated copyright.

Since I copy/pasted that photo from a German News website, I hardly think it was a copyright issue. We may never know.

I can understand that this might disturb the family, but I view it as a slap in the face to all of those who continue to assert that Hamas did nothing wrong, and that October 7th was no different than June 6th and the Liberation of France. Photos and videos from 7 October, particularly those showing Hamas in full infamy, should be shown and published as often as possible; similarly, photos and videos of 9/11 should continue to be published as well. It keeps the memory fresh in everyone’s minds ...

And it aggravates and triggers lefties as well, which is always a good thing.

“AP wins award for photo...” in the headline could be a hint.

I’ve seen the mods comment several times that AP photos can’t be posted here due to copyright, along with Reuters, Getty Images, AFP, etc.

The picture can be seen by clicking a link in the article above. Linking is the way to do it.
