McKinney FailBoat Turned Away by Israeli Navy

Cynthia McKinney is the wild-haired moonbat and former member of Congress who failed as the green party Presidential candidate this past year.  Not satisfied at being an attention whore for having failed her Presidential bid, she wants to use the Israel/Hamas war in Gaza to put herself back in the spotlight.  She, along with a bunch of other moonbats, flew to Cypress to get aboard a yacht to attempt to run Israel’s blockade to give a paltry collection of items they call “aid” to the people of the Gaza Strip.

Noooooo!  Its the Israeli Navy!  Abandon Ship!

From the Atlanta Journal Constitution here:

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.

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.”

Yigal Palmor, a spokesman for Israel’s Foreign Ministry, denied there had been any shooting although the two ships had made “physical contact.”

Palmor said there was no response to a radio warning to the Dignity, and the vessel then tried to out-maneuver the Israeli patrol boat, leading to the collision.

International aid to Gaza is still being delivered by Israel and Egypt.  This was purely a stunt by a group of anti-semites who were hoping to provoke a reaction. Hot Air has more. Thanks to Michelle Malkin for the original story.
