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.

    my self-taught media literacy is still very weak and i sometimes wish i hadn’t started work on developing it all due to the bitterness it engenders in me when i see how incredibly widespread and accepted/defended it is by my fellow countrymen.

    i sometimes wonder if this is the permanent status quo for the western world.
