The announcement of AP’s win in the «Team Picture Story of the Year» category sparked massive backlash on social media.
A disturbing photo of Hamas terrorists carrying a slain woman’s near-naked corpse through the streets of Gaza on the day Hamas attacked Israel has won a coveted photo-of-the-year award, sparking outrage from hundreds of people who blasted the prestigious win as «an outrageous desecration of Jewish life.»
The sickening photo of Shani Louk’s body was part of a set of 20 photos that contributed to the Associated Press winning first prize in a category at the Pictures of the Year International awards earlier this month. The awards, organized by the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute at the Missouri School of Journalism, proudly claim to be the world’s oldest photojournalism competition.
In Bad Taste
The announcement of AP’s win in the «Team Picture Story of the Year» category sparked massive backlash on social media, with many criticizing the award and the inclusion of Louk’s image as a disrespectful portrayal of Jewish life, the New York Post reported.
«This is the value of Israeli women to you?» wrote one infuriated social media user.
