I take offense to this as my son-in-law is Israeli Special Forces. My daughter met him while travelling in India and they married 2 yrs later.
Your generalizations couldn't be further from the truth as we meet many members of his 'unit' when we were there for the wedding.

Exactly. People that spew that kind of crap about Israelis have probably never met one, let alone one from the IDF or a special forces unit.
I have had the privilege and the honor of meeting some of them and spending two weeks getting to know them. Unbelievably humble and gentle, well-intentioned and extremely smart.
They don't even consider themselves as Jews. They're Israeli and that's all they identify with.
This whole incident was intentioned by the organizers of the flotilla to force Israel's hand. Damned if they do, damned if they don't. They publicly stated this too.
