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.

Israeli naval ships intercept Gaza-bound flotilla
embedded screenshot 2 (Reuters headline):
Live: Israel says it has stopped several vessels from Gaza aid flotilla
embedded screenshot 3 (AP headline):
Activists say Israeli navy has begun intercepting a Gaza-bound aid flotilla

Israeli military intercept and board several aid ships bound for Gaza, organizers say
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.
fair enough
