has she been sending supplies to Israel for the past 60 years?
Or does she just sponsor TERRORISTS?

* Caoimhe Butterly, a 6’1” Irishwoman and daughter of a UN economist “was brought up in a culture of liberation theology.” She opposed sanctions against the Taliban after 9/11, hunkered down inside Yasser Arafat’s besieged compound, spent a year standing between tanks and Palestinian “fighters,” and worked with Zapista anarchists in Mexico. Her name appeared on a statement by the Pitstop Ploughshares group, which broke into Ireland’s Shannon Airport and “disabled” a U.S. plane bound for Iraq, though she was never charged with participating in the action.

I always wonder where these folks get the money to spend their time doing this garbage. Who was providing her with an income in order to spend her time hunkered down in Arafat's compound, instead of working for a living?

The Israelis have a long history of not being able to pull off a sinking “accidentally”.

Here's what the Israeli Navy has to say about this incident:

“The yacht carrying former US Congresscritter and Green Party Presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney tried to outmaneuver an Israeli navy gunboat off Gaza Tuesday morning. The yacht rammed into the Israeli gunboat, which then turned it around and sent it back to Cyprus.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said the boat ignored an Israeli radio order to turn back early Tuesday. He said the boat tried to outmaneuver the navy ship and crashed into it, lightly damaging both vessels. The navy then escorted the boat to the territorial waters of Cyprus.

Protest boat organizer Derek Graham said the Israeli ship “rammed” the protest boat.
According to the ‘Free Gaza’ website of the boat’s organizers (which I will not grace with a link), the boat is now headed to ’safety’ in Lebanon.”

So much for the “Ramming our Peace Boat” story!

How is it “Shades of the Liberty”?
The so called “Dignity” was on it’s way to assist, aid, and comfort terrorists.
Where is the comparison?
Seems you have a moral equivalency issue here.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

A few chuckles of appreciation meant for you, trader.

(I just fixed the html.)

[traderrob6]

TY

[Vinnie]

A fishing net or the like fouling the prop works well.

[strange1]

My thoughts too. 24 years in the NAVY, you ram a boat someones reading water.

[hinckley buzzard]

McKinney needs to rethink her position

McKinney doesn't think, she feels. And she feels that thinking is for white people. Go figure.

[2harddrive]

Actually, I was just trying to note that Israel had attacked two foreign (US?) ships.......

[Darksheare]

Yeah, right.
The Liberty wasn’t there to aid and comfort terrorists.
No comparison at all.
