Cynthia McKinney fires mouth at Israel (UPDATED)

Isn't it too bad that Israel didn't fire back:

A boat carrying international peace activists, including former Georgia congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, and medical supplies to the embattled Gaza Strip sailed back into a Lebanese port on Tuesday after being turned back and damaged by the Israeli navy, organizers of the trip said.

...

The boat, which set off from Cyprus Monday wanted to make a statement and deliver medical supplies to embattled Gaza. The trip’s organizers said the boat was clearly in international waters, 90 miles off the coast of Gaza, at the time of its close encounter with the Israeli navy.

“Our boat was rammed three times, twice in the front and one on the side,” McKinney told CNN Tuesday morning. “Our mission was a peaceful mission. Our mission was thwarted by the aggressiveness of the Israeli military.”

She called on President-elect Obama to address the Gaza crisis, saying the weapons being used by Israel were supplied by the United States.

Ms. McKinney is on the wrong side... again.

And Obama did weigh in on this issue when in Israel in July:

“If somebody was sending rockets into my house, where my two daughters sleep at night, I’m going to do everything in my power to stop that,” he told reporters in Sderot, a small city on the edge of Gaza that has been hit repeatedly by rocket fire. “And I would expect Israelis to do the same thing.”

Hamas should be crushed.  World opinion be damned.

UPDATE: Michelle has a few choice words for the story:

Move over, Hanoi Jane Fonda. Jihad Cindy McKinney is sailing to Gaza to deliver medical supplies to Hamas.

She later called McKinney's boat the S.S. Moonbat. 

Appropriate.

To say "what an idiot," would be a gross misjudgment of precisely how stupid and maniacal this woman really is. Of the twelve off years that she spent in congress? The majority of her activities were aimed at either running down America, or attempting to get American taxpayer support for Arab terrorist organizations, both abroad and in America.

Talk about "American Taliban?" That fruit cake (John Walker Lind) that is petitioning President Bush for a presidential pardon has nothing on the looney tune supreme Cynthia McKinney. I truly believe that if she had the opportunity? She would press the launch buttons to launch nuclear weapons against this country in a heart beat. She is such and utter racist and hater of all things white and all things American, that I am surprised that some equally loose mental nut case hasn't long ago put a bullet in her before now.

And don't kid yourself, whether this supposed mercy mission to Gaza was in fact only ferrying medical supplies is not really at issue. As the reality is, those involved (including McKinney) are still giving aid and comfort to an avowed enemy of Israel and an avowed enemy of the United States. Therefore at the least, the Israeli's have both cause and reason to interdict them and do what ever is necessary to prevent their success.

Therefore, my only regret in this whole episode? Is that the Israeli naval interception didn't result in the timely demise of one Cynthia McKinney. Maybe if we are lucky, while she is in Gaza passing out band-aids and sucking up to the terrorists, the Israelis will find a way to include her in their updated casualty list. I for one certainly hope so.

There's a photo of McKinney on hotair.com that is just priceless.

The look, the hair, the psychosis . . .

obviously Mommynator is a blood thirsty israeli supporter , he wishes Mckinney to join the other victims of isreal in ghazza , he is also a lier & fact twister , mentioning that americans tax payers money goes to palestinians , in fact it goes to isreal to help building more illegal settlements & giving sofisticated weapons to kill palestinians , he ia also trying to terrorize ms Mckinney & any other one who dares to have another opinion differing from that supporting the antihuman israeli acts , if arabs are terroists in ur opinion, they r really humble ones campared to the israeli leaders , Begin , Shamir & Sharon the israelies r the 1st in spreading terrorism in the middle east & isreal is the symbol of racism in the world

brutally honest about how you want to kill someone on a peace mission!

[faroud sedik]

Obama said he would stop those who fires missils at his house while his children are sleeping in , but he dident tell us what would he do if some people stolen his house , driven him & his daughters out & claimed that it was their house & no one in the world would even listened to him , what would he do when he & his children were thrown out in a tent for over 60 years listening to people asking him to wait untill they solve his forgotten problem in peace , what would he do when he is under siege , starving & facing the brutality of his enemies & whenever he throws a stone at his enemies every one accuses him of terrorism ? . this is the other side of the story . to your knowledge , according to the UN division ,Sderot is a part of palestine , not israel , but when israel gave any attention to the UN decissions ?

faroud sedik:

First of all, her boat was not rammed. It was tapped in an attempt to redirect it. You probably would be hard-pressed to find any damage from it.

Second, there are three organizations that are allowed into Gaza by Israel anytime they want to provide relief and aid to the citizens. Ms. McKinney could have easily joined her efforts to any of those three and actually accomplished something useful. Instead, she chose a route she knew would be blocked just so she could make a headline and get some glory for herself.

Thirdly, Israel would have no reason to defend itself if Hamas didn't keep firing rockets at Israel. And please don't anyone patronize me by saying that Israel is killing innocent citizens. So is Hamas. And the "non-Hamas" citizens of Gaza are allowing Hamas to thrive and flourish in their midst. Silence and inaction imply approval.

Fourthly, I'm fairly certain "Mommynator", as the inclusion of the word "mommy" implies is a "she", not a "he".

Locustprime is so off base.....How sad to just spout off incorrect facts to base your opinion and try to sway others. Cynthia Mckinney is a person who goes against what the mainstream media wants people to believe, and therefore she is a terrorist. lol....

[Mommynator]

Let's be honest, folks.

faroud sedik. That certainly ain't a Polish name.

When the stupid Palestinians stop being the pawns of their arab brothers, and the scales fall from their eyes about how deceived they've been and how used they are, then there will be peace in Israel.

Until that time, Israel has a right to slam them hard for their incessant bombing, for hiding behind civilians like the cowards they are, for supporting murderers.

Go crawl back into the cave with Osama.

to mommynator :
i hope you count the victims on each side and then tell us who is the real killers ? isreal refused even to discuss a peace intiatve offerred by the arabs for peace with all arab countries with full diplomatic relatins with all arabs in change with the palestinian terrtories occupied in 1967 , but the reason for refusal is that isreal wanted both , peace & the occupied land that would not lead to peace either to israel or to the arabs . each time hamas launches its toy like rockets , comes after an israeli attack on ghaza , but the media only sees the hamas evil & not the israeli motive for it . you say the palestinians hide behind cicilians ? who is not a civilian in palestin ? they have no army , only civilians who resist occupation & humiliaton . now people like u believe the lies of isreal , the racial radical jewish collection of people , but one day will come when the truth will be clear to every one , because u cannot decieve all the world all the time
