Footage shows activists handcuffed and lying on the ground with their heads down
→ Israeli occupation forces attacked 50 vessels carrying 428 people from 44 countries in international waters
The incident took place in international waters in the Mediterranean before communication with those on board was lost.
Organisers later said all vessels in the aid convoy had been illegally seized by the Zionist occupation.
At least 100 activists have reportedly been arrested, in what has been condemned as 'piracy'.
I used to think Norway was a very modern, fair, and forward-looking country. But after seeing some of the coverage and cartoons about India and Narendra Modi in Norwegian media, I honestly feel disappointed.
At international summits, Modi was one of the most discussed leaders. Many world leaders openly spoke positively about India’s growing role, economy, diplomacy, and influence. Whether people personally like Modi or not, India’s global position today is stronger than before.
That’s why it feels strange to see some Norwegian journalists constantly portray him in such a negative and almost mocking way, often using stereotypes about India that would probably not be accepted if directed at other cultures.
It makes me wonder: does Norwegian society present itself as tolerant and progressive on the surface, while still holding very different attitudes toward non-Western countries underneath?
I’m genuinely asking because this coverage changed my perception of Norway. Curious what Norwegians think about this.
I am very sure the moderator here will surely remove this post but definitely keep post which is anti india
