Vile? Yes, the action is vile, but the photograph is not. It must be seen. Like the self immolating Buddhist monk, The napalmed Vietnamese girl running and burning, the fireman carrying a dead baby away from the Murrah building, hundreds of 9/11 photos and hundreds more.

Vile, but necessary.

No, not really necessary

Agree. Gruesome as it is, this will get more exposure in the media for the unspeakable evil that is Hamas.

[llevrok]

I agree. Photojournalism is often shocking.

Perhaps but AP is a putrid cesspool of leftist scumbags so their motives for running this pic has nothing to do with bringing condemnation on the terrorists.

For all those opposed to the above notion- I hope you appreciate that by suppressing such a record of the truth you're playing right into the hands of Hamas and its Western allies by whitewashing their actions and helping maintain the fiction that they're somehow legitimate. Not offending someone's sensibilities doesn't trump getting the truth of the matter out. One must be detached from reality indeed to think that the world can actually be so sanitized.

Show that photo to every idiot complaining about Israel acting in self defense. Shove it down the throat of everyone claiming the fighting in Gaza is a genocide.

It must be seen

It's the truth. Suppressing it just helps the animals in the photos get away with more.
