I've been following this story and this particular idea-about-it stream of articles etc. since the "flotilla" was stopped by the Israeli government and the commandos boarded the ship with a variety of folks on it (not all "activists" as the media continues to insist) including many Turks who refused to accept the boarding peacefully and paid the ultimate price in at least nine instances (though I've seen higher figures).
At any rate, here is a really sharp series of articles that summarize the reaction of the revitalized peace movement within Israel where there seems to be more open debate about that government's rightwing policies than there ever is in our media interestingly.
