On Tuesday, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition alleged that the IDF beat up one of their selfie boat participants, Christian Smalls, implying we are not only violent but racist against Black people:
Note the claim includes that the IDF choked him, leaving visible signs on his neck.
Today he was released and we indeed see some truly horrific marks on his neck.
Our brother Chris Smalls is finally out of prison, in Jordan with our support group ready to fly back home!! Welcome back, habibi! The whole world is proud of you! Free Palestine! Stop the genocide! pic.twitter.com/zgKgjq5ESw

Oh wait, that is how his neck looked beforehand:
So if they lied about him being choked, I am guessing his back will also contain no weird marks – except perhaps some more tattoos.
In other words: same old script, different actor. Smear Israel, scream racism, and hope no one checks the receipts.
