Cynthia McKinney Captured by Israeli Navy

Shhhhhhhhh!

Calling all ladies of Hicktown! Um…is there anyplace we can stash Cynthia McKinney once she returns to the U.S.? This gal is seriously NOT making black women look good about now.CynthiaMcK

I’d like to stash her away in a room, get a group of us together to talk some sense into her and pray over this woman.

The Israeli navy took control of a boat that violated an Israeli blockade and crossed into Gazan waters Tuesday, the Israel Defense Forces said, while a Gaza group said the ship was carrying humanitarian aid, a former U.S. congresswoman and a Nobel laureate.

Cynthia McKinney reportedly is asking the international community to demand the crew’s release.

The boat’s crew included former U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney, according to the Free Gaza Movement, a human rights group that sent the boat it calls “Spirit of Humanity” from Cyprus.

Along with McKinney, who served six terms in the House of Representatives from Georgia and was the Green Party’s presidential nominee in 2008, Israeli authorities took 20 people into custody, the group said.

And Cynthia’s response to all this?

This is an outrageous violation of international law against us. Our boat was not in Israeli waters, and we were on a human rights mission to the Gaza Strip,” before authorities confiscated cell phones.

“President Obama just told Israel to let in humanitarian and reconstruction supplies, and that’s exactly what we tried to do. We’re asking the international community to demand our release so we can resume our journey,” McKinney said, according to the group.

    This broad is stone cold crazy. Blackpoliticalthought blogged about her last excursion over there when she was turned back. I’m convinced she likes to create these public relations nightmares for herself to draw attention to herself.

    Still can’t forget about when she took it upon herself to contact that Arab Sheik asking for money that Rudy Giuliani refused immediately following 9/11. And she is most notoriously known for that brouhaha with Capitol Police and was found to have LIED about the whole assault incident.

    America don’t want her and Israel don’t either. That should tell her SOMETHING.

    I don’t think the makeover will help. Her eyes even look crazy. Would someone kindly direct her to the nearest insane asylum?

    Just read today that she will be deported along with her ‘crew’.

    Just read in this article the statement from the Israeli Consulate General in Atlanta.

    The Israeli Consulate General of Israel in Atlanta e-mailed a statement to 11Alive News pointing out that humanitarian aid organizations are delivering supplies into Gaza every day — by land.

    The statement said, “Once again, former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney and her fellow travelers have taken it upon themselves to disregard their own safety… by leading a boat into restricted waters. Ms. McKinney ignored the available and legal means for the delivery of aid to the Gaza Strip and instead chose to make a reckless political stunt.”
