Headline after headline fails to mention that seizing the ships and kidnapping humanitarians violates international law. Instead the articles repeat Israeli propaganda.

This is how Western media normalizes Israel’s crimes.

    I know they said headline, but cmon actually read the article

    There are actual issues with these articles but you can’t call it propaganda when half of it is criticizing israel

      The point is that a lot of people won’t read the articles, they’ll just skim the headline and call it a day. “Israeli navy intercepts flotilla bound for Gaza” and “Israeli navy kidnaps protesters in international waters” give very different ideas of the main subject.

      Notice how the article doesn’t actually call their behavior illegal or cite the international law they broke? They just report that other people are calling it illegal? That’s propaganda.
