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.

Shave her head and then waterboard them all.
Buckwheat on crack.....
SO... it’s not that the children didn’t get their crayons, it’s that Cynthia didn’t get to (hog the camera) give them to the children personally.
This is rich. I hope she claims discrimination. The Israelis will explain a thing or two about discrimination to her, and put her in a cell with a bunch of Hamas.
Sort of a nice touch for the 4th of July don’t ya’ll think?
She will plead insanity, and the court will agree unanimously after her “testimony”.
Hang her. But give her a hood now so we don’t have to see her.
When her jail term is up they should transport and release her at the Jordanian border. Let her find and pay her own way home.
I cannot believe there is not a petition out there to keep her in Israel. Why? They took her in, now they have to keep her.
I sure hope she enjoys those kosher meals!
Ha. Good one.
[Doesn’t she get excused because she’s liberal?]
That crap might work in the states, but not in Israel!
That, kind sir, gets my vote for Post of the Evening.
Those 2 are sharing a brain.
I was wondering what is wrong with flap jacks and molasses? Damn good eating if you ask me.
But they are unlikely to. They will declare McKinney to be crazy and deport her involuntarily.
I heard she had 20 lbs of crack under her dress.
Good Grief! What a totally disgusting thought and visual. Will have to go home and get drunk just to erase that vision from my mind.
McKinney is an air head.
