Former U.S. lawmaker Cynthia McKinney is due to appear in an Israeli court Sunday after she and 20 other activists were taken into custody this week when their relief boat was seized by an Israeli naval ship.
The 2008 Green Party presidential candidate says the group, "Free Gaza Movement," was trying to deliver humanitarian supplies to Gaza, but Israel says the boat attempted to sail through a navy blockade.
Israel said it would free the crew and passengers as soon as they were checked, but McKinney and the others say they refused to sign deportation forms because it would have entailed admitting they violated Israel's blockade.
"The Israelis hijacked us because we wanted to give crayons to the children of Gaza," McKinney said in a recorded statement delivered via telephone and posted on YouTube.
McKinney and the other activists left Cyprus on Tuesday on a Greek-flagged boat called the Spirit of Humanity, which was carrying medical supplies, cement, olive trees and children's toys en route to Gaza.

Maybe the Israelis can do the US a favor, and deport her to Saudi Arabia. Then she can become the fourth wife of some poor, minor Saud Prince who has annoyed the King once too often.

McKinney and her constituency are virulently anti-semitic. She was no doubt gathering intelligence (e.g. spying) for Israel's enemies under the guise of “humanitarian aid”. I hope the IDF realizes that.

"The Israelis hijacked us because we wanted to give crayons to the children of Gaza," McKinney said...This sounds like something Michael Jackson would have said.

I’ve got a novel idea for her sentence...
She would have to spend 1 year working in Sderot, helping to rebuild what’s been destroyed by the rockets being fired from Gaza... And she’s banned from getting within 100 feet of any bomb shelter, so when the rockets come in, she gets to witness the “gifts” the Israelis get from the terrorists whom she’s supporting.

I hope that the Israelis lock this nutcase up for a long time. I think that she and the Green Party deserve each other, since they are both frauds. I was just getting used to not hearing anything about her and here she is again. What a pain in the butt.

If I'm the judge: The Boat and all its contents is now the property of Israel. You, miss Kinney and your companions will be set free But in the future, if you are ever seen in this territory again, will do lengthy jail time. Now, get the hell out of our county and stay out.
