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.

...but McKinney and the others say they refused to sign deportation forms...

So she did it to herself? Even better!

[Jeff Head]

Way to go Israel and IDF. Throw the book at this Marxist, Terrorist abetting scum. She deserves every bit of it.

"The Israelis hijacked us because we wanted to give crayons to the children of Gaza," McKinney said
Now, I ask you: Where is the BARF alert???

[Professional Engineer]

ha ha

[charmedone]

Your Honor, I move to postpone this proceding 4 years so the defense can create a few lies. You should keep the b****h in custody during that time.

[jongaltsr]

Any report as to what was on that ship - i.e. weapons etc.!?

[SkyPilot]

Ayes es a Demorat!

[TASMANIANRED]

I’m hoping they ask her if she is mentally ill.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Doesn’t she get excused because she’s liberal? Since liberals never have to be responsible for things, just have to have good intentions, she’s got her legal defense all lined up.

[STARWISE]

OK .. I'll do it ..

[pennboricua]

maybe they will waterboard her, do her a favor use shampoo and wash her hair.

[ml/nj]

Any report as to what was on that ship - i.e. weapons etc.!?

I don't think there were any weapons. The Israelis inspected the stuff they were carrying and then trucked it all to Gaza. The children have their crayons.

[Drango]

Suddenly and inexplicably I feel the need for PANCAKES.

[jongaltsr]

What a "Raving Beauty".
Raving for sure.........
Beauty ( I was joking )

[jongaltsr]

umm... PANCAKES with Molasses
“signed” Sambo

[FormerACLUmember]

Pleading Memo to Israel: Don’t release her unless she signs. Hopefully this situation will last for many years.

[pennboricua]

I think that was the line of one of those kids on The Little Rascals.

[JimRed]

Suddenly and inexplicably I feel the need for PANCAKES.

That, sir, is an insult to Auntie J!

[freekitty]

If she is dumb enough to pull this stunt again and not sign a deportation agreement; let them deal with her.

[don-o]

[Peanut Gallery]

She is a wannabe martyr. She wants to put the Israelis in a bad light ~ painting them as the bad guys here because they put her in detention. She’s claiming special privilege because she was on humanitarian mission, yada yada yada. Horse Poo! The ship was warned not to cross the blockade. They detained the ship. They gave her the opportunity to go home. She refused. Now she gets to go to court to defend her position. If they’d been crossing an arab blockade of Israel, she’d probably be dead instead of whining.

She is going to bring this to the attention of the media and play to them like a well tuned instrument. She makes me ill.

[alloysteel]

Dko you know that used in unconventional manner, crayons can be an instrument of deadly force?

How else to scrawl signs demanding “Death to Jews!”

Some pretty powerful magic is being ginned up here.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

I ate too much pig today! I’m gonna go have a “”Free Gaza Movement” myself!

[Cheburashka]

Right now she thinks she's just being held by the Israelis. Wait til she discovers that she's being held by the JOOOOOOOS.

“What? You mean the Israelis be JOOOOOOOS?!? When did dat happen? How am I supposed to figure out dey be JOOOOOOS if they be callin’ themselves Israelis? How can they be JOOOOOOS and Israelis at da same time?....

“Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Okay, then, why don't dey make it easy to figure out by calling themselves JOOOOOOraelis? Answer me dat!”

[FlingWingFlyer]

She better hope that it isn’t a crime to be DUMB AND UGLY at the same time in Israel. If it is, she’s toast.

Thank G-D that most people in politics consider McKinney an idiot.

[DoughtyOne]

Speaking of crayons, I’ve always been convinced she was missing more than a few out of her box.

The media has done it’s damnedest to turn her into somewhat of a cult hero. Cult member might be more like it...

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

The Israelis hijacked us because we wanted to give crayons to the children of Gaza

Ever hear of FedEx, dipsh*t?

[GeronL]

They should have sunk that boat

[F15Eagle]

Dear Israel:

Feel free to keep her as long as you see fit. Afterwards, send her packing. Just not back here.

Sincerely,
America

[Kirkwood]

She was bringing 50 tons of multicultural crayons. She had to travel by ship.

[SandRat]

Enjoy a lengthy Israeli Jail Stint Cynthia McCrazy. There ain't gonna be no Pork Chops served either.

[dainbramaged]

Isn’t she the nutjob that took a poke at some security guard in D.C.? I hope she tries that stuff over there.

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

Democrats like Cynthia don’t believe any laws apply to them.

[savedbygrace]

Speaking of crayons, I’ve always been convinced she was missing more than a few out of her box.

She's only got two - black and brown.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

They are going to send her back, what kind of a friend is that? Make her stay in Gaza!

[al baby]

I heard she had 20 lbs of crack under her dress

[Armedanddangerous]

WHERE I AT?

TELL ME BEFO AH CUT YOU..

[al baby]

I think she might be a fountain and a sparkler short of a block buster box of fireworks

[DoughtyOne]

Yours is probably closer to the truth, but I would have loved it if you said black and blue.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

Maybe the Israelis can do the US a favor, and deport her to Saudi Arabia. Then she can become the fourth wife of some poor, minor Saud Prince who has annoyed the King once too often.

[Marysecretary]

My heart bleeds. Keep her Israel, PLEEEEZZZZZZZEEEEE.

[Marysecretary]

Now THERE’s a pair of real boobs...

[savedbygrace]

LOL.

[taillightchaser]

I’ll bet obammy threatens the Israeli PM to turn her loose.

[Marysecretary]

Well, she’s right, they don’t.

[Cheetahcat]

She is an Enemy Agent and needs imprisoned this is not a BS hate whitey protest ,this is life and death.

[SpaceBar]

McKinney and her constituency are virulently anti-semitic. She was no doubt gathering intelligence (e.g. spying) for Israel's enemies under the guise of “humanitarian aid”. I hope the IDF realizes that.

[Albion Wilde]

"The Israelis hijacked us because we wanted to give crayons to the children of Gaza," McKinney said...

This sounds like something Michael Jackson would have said.

"I think that was the line of one of those kids on The Little Rascals."

Buckwheat?
