The Associated Press has released its
Year in Photos
2003, the agency's annual photo essay that aims to summarize the year's news
and most dramatic moments.
Of the 130 photos chosen, six addressed human
suffering in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. All six
were of Palestinians:
Remarkably, AP chose no pictures of Israeli terror
victims to include in their yearly roundup. (The only Israeli
civilian included was a worshipper at the Western Wall.) Here are
links to powerful AP photos of Israeli victims that were somehow
"overlooked" in the yearly summary:
Aug. 19:
Jerusalem bus bombing
Oct. 4:
Haifa restaurant bombing
Sept 9: Cafe
Hillel bombing
(Pictures from
'We Should
Not Forget')
The AP photo essay characterizes Palestinians as
the victim in the conflict. This editorial decision distorts the
human cost that the conflict exacted this year on both sides,
and completely ignores the root cause of all this suffering:
Palestinian terrorism.
HonestReporting encourages subscribers to write to AP,
requesting an explanation for their one-sided photo essay.
