Its well known that Israel has a blockade in conjunction with Egypt. They warned that they would board and inspect those ships. 5 out of 6 were boarded peacefully.

To me Turkish flagged boats with Turkish crew members trying to break an established blockade is an act with the most serious national consequences, and could be viewed as a serious provacation by one nation state against another. It would be equivalent to American's smuggling Aid to the FLQ during the Quebec Crisis.
NGOs aren't part of the government so I fail to see how this could be nation on nation.
