“The Muslims will win the more important battle - the one of world popular opinion. I feel sorry for Israel. They’re screwed and there’s not a damn thing they can do about it.”
The Muslims, for some reason, are already more popular worldwide than Israel. Who else would they lose as a result of this incident? US Christians? No.
What is the negative effect of this incident on Israel? US foreign policy will still support them. I don’t see any fallout from this.

Wait until it happens. The flotilla hasn’t even set sail yet.
