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.”

Journalists are scum.
Every last one.

Was the picture of the Vietnamese man being shot in the head an outrageous desecration of Vietnamese life?
No. He was a murderer. This was an innocent woman living her normal life on a normal morning.
Next year I plan on entering a photo of Mecca experiencing a thermonuclear explosion.
I guess it depends on one’s priors here
For me it is evidence in a case for the prosecution, condemning Hamas and the Palestinian people.
For people with a Middle Eastern state of mind (tribal, and primitive at that) this is a case of counting coup. A victory, not a shameful act. Or a defeat, for those of the tribe of the victim.
That distinction points up why this conflict cannot be resolved. Note that Hamas and its apologists understand this very well. They are happy to (very cynically by our lights) do the ethics-standard context switching as it suits them.
Horrifying as it is, I’m glad such a grisly photo exists.
When people gripe about Israeli “oppressors,” my response is, “Like these murdering savage rapists?”
On the flip side, I’m devastated that such a picture exists because for it to exist, that beautiful young woman was violated and murdered, her body desecrated, and the vile filth dragged her through the streets like a trophy kill.
I pray that Israel wipes every single one of those scum sucking backwards bastards from the face of the Earth. I don’t care about their families, I don’t care about their cause; they are not fit to live on the same planet that she did.
I really expected the leftist outrage factory to attack from the other direction: the photo must be banned because it promotes Islamo-”phobia”.

Demon-posessed 👿👿👿👿👿👿👿
This poor woman did nothing to any of them.
Evil

No, it was an atrocity, in a general sense. The Viet officer can probably be excused his state of mind given what he had seen that day, but it was still a criminal act .
Interestingly both the Viets and Commies and the “West” saw it the same way.
There is a much smaller gap between East Asian and Euro ethical standards than one would think. Even the mainland Chinese are ashamed, on some level, about what they have done or are doing. They limit the spread of this information domestically because they know what their own people will think.
What about the photo of the napalmed Vietnamese girl? Was she guilty?
Look what the Japanese did to the Chinese right after the Doolittle Raid. There is a vein of evil going through the human race.
I agree totally

Thank u
Usual uninformed here
Which is why u and me are here
To help them
Couldn’t have said it better myself. Thank you. 👍
Very few people are aware the the VIET CONG BASTARD that was EXECUTED had just finished MURDERING the whole family of a Lt Colonel in the South Vietnamese Army; his WIFE, SIX CHILDREN and his 80 year old MOTHER.
The VC C@CKSUCKER MURDERING BASTARD was executed by the Commanding General of South Vietnamese troops in that area!
Good kill in my opinion, but the General should have started at the feet and worked his way up, paying particular attention the VIET CONG BASTARDS PECKER AND BALLS!
One shot to the head——WAY TO KIND!
The story about the situation leading to that execution, was not part of the TV news cycles.
The photo was splashed around by the liberal media and by the “student no more war!” rent-a-mobs, that together, comprised the made for TV “anti-war movement” - the movers and pot shakers who are now for more war.
