The only flat-bed seat I've been able to find from anywhere in Europe to TLV is on LX. Everyone else is 320s or 321s.
I don't know when the BOS flight arrives, but they also have a 9:45 flight that arrives 14:35. It may not be an option for you, but from YVR, we're gong to spend a day in Zurich on the way over to take advantage of this schedule.

LY offers a proper business class product on its 777 on LHR-TLV and sometimes CDG-TLV, though their J product is very outdated (but still much better than the intra-European "J" product on LH/OS/AF etc.)

I would go with AC, here is why
LH J on the BOS to MUC or FRA segment is wonderful BUT the J from MUC/FRA to TLV is VERY sub par. Seats are Y with the middle seat blocked.
Same story with TK on the leg to TLV at least for some of the flights.
Never flew J in AC, but if the J product matches LH its worth it just so the last segment will be a "real" J :-)
By the way, the BOS to TLV UA J product is not bad at all in my eyes. Yes, LH J BOS to FRA is better, but the experience does not extend all the way.

BA has a once-daily flight LHR-TLV on a 777 and two daily flights on a 321 which feature proper (long-haul style) J seats.
