How is the Freedom Flotilla being reported in Israel?

It seems to be a time of unprecedented questioning and criticism of Israel's actions and US/Israeli relationships, escalating since Freedom Flotilla I last year. Even the most ardent pro-Israeli here questioned the blatant murder of unarmed civilians (the outside world is probably a bit suspicious of the Islamic Palestinians thanks to our right wing press - see Daily Mail link below, but western civilians - that's not on!) And Greece's seeming complicity, (however reluctant) refusing to allow FF ships to leave from Greece, has brought Europe into the mix in a big way.

Even David Cameron has resigned his position of patron of the Jewish National Fund. Pro-Palestinian lobby groups are claiming credit but he was a bit vague on the subject.

Having said that, we (the UK) have Palestinian "hate preacher" Sheikh Raed Salah locked up after he slipped through the net ie, walked into the country before the home secretary was told he was one of the "baddies".
