Pulitzer Prize for Gaza Coverage by the Times Fails To Include Story on Rapes by Hamas

Neighbors of Hamas.

Maggie Hroncich; The New York Sun  "The New York Times was awarded a coveted Pulitzer Prize on Monday — one of three the newspaper won — for its “wide-ranging” coverage of “Hamas’ lethal attack in southern Israel on Oct. 7, Israel’s intelligence failures and the Israeli military’s sweeping, deadly response in Gaza.” 

"Yet the Times’s list of winning Israel and Gaza work, which topped the International Reporting category, notably excluded the chilling December report by Jeffrey Gettleman, Anat Schwartz, and Adam Sella about Hamas displaying “a pattern of rape, mutilation and extreme brutality against women in the attacks on Israel.”

"The Times did not include the Hamas rape piece as part of its package of Gaza stories it submitted to the  Pulitzer Committee for consideration for the International Reporting award. A source familiar with the matter tells the Sun that the piece was submitted for another category and did not win, and noted that the Times has some 1,700 war coverage stories, many of which are not included in the prizes.  

"The Hamas rape article, “Screams Without Words,” caused an uproar among the Times’s anti-Israel staffers, who tried to find problems with the article and leaked about internal feuding to the Intercept, a left-wing publication. According to the Wall Street Journal, the Times launched an internal investigation to try to find the leakers. It was inconclusive. " . . .
