Inventing Reality

"Outrage after Israel releases video abusing of flotilla activists taken hostage on international waters" would be a good start.

But that's the thing. The outrage is seems to be less about the detention and abuse, but more about the public humiliation and mockery..

The narrative is something like "It's justified they were detained, a little bit of force is to be expected, and it probably wasn't as bad since the activists lie in order to make Israel look bad".

But when you have the security minister posting a video where he is gleefully and proudly mocking detainees, that's going too far. It robs the situation of any plausible deniability and forces the origin countries of the activists to express public outrage.

You can bet your ass that if the video was not posted, the expressed outrage of the various countries would be minimal in comparison.

the headlines would look completely differently if it was an adversary of the US doing the same things.

Once again, I'm familiar with the concept of media bias.. I still think the headline is perfectly readonable.
