Of course, Israel was out of line here, they really don't do PR. They should never have boarded a ship in international waters (although I'll be cautious on that point as Kukri recommended), and they could have dealt with this without the excessive force and killing.

But on the wider scale there's no need for such anti-Israel raging.
Bollocks. Hamas "took control", ha! Hamas one the lections, it is Fatah that took control because the West is too pathetic to accept that democracy does not mean a load of ass-kissing prats all the time. Israel is the bad guy in the bigger perspective, Israel continues to steal land from the Palestinians and continues it's illegal "blockade" of Gaza, no sir, Israel is what one may term, evil.
