JERUSALEM (CNN) -- Former U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney -- who was aboard a ship the Israeli navy intercepted this week -- is in a detention center and will be returned to the United States, the U.S. Embassy said.

McKinney was among those on a ship that the Israeli Defense Forces said violated an Israeli blockade and crossed into Gazan waters on Tuesday.

The Israeli navy gained control of the ship and took McKinney and about 20 people into custody, said the Free Gaza Movement, a human rights group that sent the ship.

The group said the ship, which it calls Spirit of Humanity, was carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza.

McKinney served six terms in the House of Representatives as a Democrat from Georgia and was the Green Party's 2008 presidential nominee.

The ex-lawmaker is in the Givon immigration detention center in the central Israeli city of Ramle, the U.S. Embassy said.

She has been given deportation papers but has refused to sign them, the embassy said.

[smokingfrog]

Nooooo! Please keep her!

[Mac from Cleveland]

Don’t hurry on my account....

[muawiyah]

Those Israelis sure know how to make people mad. If they cared for us THEY’D KEEP HER.

[Cicero]

If they send her back, it should be in handcuffs. Then they could mail Obama the key. That’s twice that she’s deliberately broken Israeli law in Israeli territory.

[Texican72]

If Bush were still President, they’d keep her for us. But, 0bama hasn’t been playing nice...

[xcamel]

Don’t we have rules against torture?

[FormerACLUmember]

Please don’t send this pig back!

[Bobkk47]

Send this POC to Yemen.

[cranked]

Well, if she must be sent back, please transport her as air frieght and not as an actual passenger.

[rightwingjew]

Send her to Gaza never to return or be heard from again.

[Billthedrill]

NOOOOOOOO! She's, uh...contagious, that's it. Needs quarantine. Equine West Nile Swine Ebola, very dangerous. She'll be fine after a couple of decades of isolation...

[beethovenfan]

Can’t they drop her on Iran???

[kalee]

Do we have to take her?

[Zionist Conspirator]

Nooooo! Please keep her!

My thoughts exactly.

[Frantzie]

Let her walk home. Who is paying for this? Taxpayers or the Saudis.

[kittymyrib]

“...is in a detention center and will be returned to the United States...”

Rats:(

[ninergold3]

Can they be paid to keep her????

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

“Those Israelis sure know how to make people mad. If they cared for us THEY’D KEEP HER.”

Ditto on that you good FReeper.

Could we pay them (collection starting as of now if the answer is “yes”) to keep this nut? Naw...I guess not. They wouldn’t want her either.

[CholeraJoe]

She hates Jews and her maiden name was Mengele. She needs to be tried as a war criminal!

[Nachum]

Kind of like the bad penny, keeps coming back.

[Deb]

If only there was bulldozer with her name on it.

[sheik yerbouty]

“Catch and relese”

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

“Can’t they drop her on Iran???”

Better still, why not “miss” and drop her in the Arabian Sea?

[FatherofFive]

She has been given deportation papers but has refused to sign them, the embassy said.

Than she cannot return!

[Nervous Tick]

>> Former U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney... is in a detention center

That’s GREAT!!! :-)

>> and will be returned to the United States

That SUCKS. :-(

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

“Those Israelis sure know how to make people mad. If they cared for us THEY’D KEEP HER.”

I know...Why don’t we do a two for one. They keep her and we also throw in Obama?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

They wore rubber gloves.

[clintonh8r]

The Juice did it!

[red-dawg]

[clintonh8r]

Somewhere in Georgia a zoo is missing its silverback....

[rockabyebaby]

Keep her, she’s yours, no really, keep her, no seriously, keep her, we’ve got plenty more where that came from,,,you want more, we got more.......how many you want?

[Lurker]

L

[Paladin2]

Send her to Mecca.

[Paladin2]

Then they could mail Obama the key."

They should hold her hostage until zer0 bombs the Iranian nuclear facilities out of existence.

[jazminerose]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I beg of you Bibi! Keep that deranged gas bag locked up or release to Hamas.

[jazminerose]

You could offer her to Hamas as a good will gesture. Joke’s on them!

[visualops]

LOL my thoughts exactly!

[danamco]

They have to be careful that she not slaps them like she did in congress!!!

[SIDENET]

If the need arises, they may slap her around.

They have my permission.

[Izzy Dunne]

McKinney held in Israel, to be returned to U.S.

I'll take "Good News and Bad News", for $400, Alex!

[chris_bdba]

If she’s being deported does that mean she isn’t allowed to go back to Israel again? Please take her US passport so we won’t be stuck with her too? Then send her to Gaza, she would probably change her tune really fast seeing how it really is there!

[OregonTide]

I don’t see her protesting in Iran for civil rights....

[tet68]

Too bad, I was hoping they’d keep her.

[Cheburashka]

Put a parachute on her and dump her out of the airplane at 10,000 feet over the Afghan-Pakistan border.

Teaching her how to operate the rip cord is optional.

[Publius6961]

Wow.

The sentiments seem unanimous.

Isn't it a hate crime to attack the mentally deficient? Specially if they're female and ...

Just saying.

[Oldpuppymax]

Sorry, but Mckinney’s rights have clearly been violated. And she MUST be returned to the United States regardless of her unwillingness to sign deportation papers. Personally, I believe her swim should begin tomorrow.

[GovernmentShrinker]

I really, really hope she has one of her little violent outbursts while she’s in Israeli custody. It’s our only hope of getting them to keep her.

[AFPhys]

Maybe they can just sink the ship accidentally with her on it?
