All 21 members of the Spirit of Humanity who had been held by Israel for attempting to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza have been released. According to the Free Gaza movement,
Many passengers did not get all of their belongings back, many computers were stolen, some that were returned had their hard drives completely erased. Many of the pieces of camera equipment were not given back as well, and, of course, none of the tapes of the boarding, roughing up or incarceration of the 21 people who have been returned.
CAIR caught up with former Congress member Cynthia McKinney when she arrived in Washington, DC, here’s what she had to say:

Jew hater McKinney has actually deluded herself into thinking she is doing human rights work. As a non Muslim woman she would last about one day before she was raped and discarded like so much trash were she to travel Gaza unescorted. Of course she would probably blame the Jews if it happened.
Thank God !!! McKinney is home. Few people have the courage to do what she did. Although, the State department has been tepid in their response to McKinney's arrest, any thought on whether the Obama administration has pushed for her release through unofficial channel?
She is nothing but a headline grabbing woman. Let's not forget her conduct in Washington.
Cynthia thank you so much for your important work, your words of truth and your example. Dr. King would be proud of you keep up the good work. And thank you to Mondoweiss and team for all of your efforts to expose what has been taking place in the I/P conflict for decades
Thank God she's home safely. She is Zionism's nightmare.
I agree with the rest of you! Thank g$d that McKinney is home. Now YOU deal with her! Have fun! :-) :-) PS: Warning: plug for Crayola. Did they pay for her smuggling expedition? What if she would try sneaking into some other country? Maybe one of your friends like, oh, Saudi Arabia, perhaps? Or Iran? MondoFun!!!
She didn't "sneak" into Gaza; she was invited.
Obviously not by competent authority.
From Slate: All of us have voices in our heads, whispering insanities. Rep. Cynthia McKinney's problem is that she lets hers speak. She's the Christopher Walken character in Annie Hall, except when she's tempted to swerve into a car's oncoming headlights, she actually does it.
You really have a knack for dishonest headlines Adam. If someone robbed a bank to get money to send to Gaza, then went to prison for it would you say that they are "spending 20 years in prison for trying to aid Gaza"? She spent a week in prison for trying to run a blockade. I realize that the collection of anti-Semites and neo-Nazis that make up your fan base may not mind your dishonesty, but have some self-respect.
Wrong. Let's not forget Israel conduct around the globe, and especially in Gaza and the West Bank. And remember, you non-Jewish Americans are literally and metaphorically paying for it. Your children and grandchildren too. All GIS in the middle east our risking their lives for it, and continue to die for it.
You mean not by authority paid for by fleeced American taxpayers and additionally bamboozled American voters who only have the MSM media giving them information.
You mean voices in the head telling you God gave the land to the Jews and anything they do to get and keep it is OK? And voices telling you antisemitism is a mental disease with no roots in actual human experience?
I regret not voting for McKinney in 2008.
Israel killed many Lebanese civilians while bombing Beirut in retaliation for Hezbollah taking an Israeli occupation terrorist prisoner. The US did not kill any Israeli civilians in Tel Aviv for kidnapping an American peace activist last week. Nor did the US kill any Israeli civilians for putting a gas canister in that young American man's head. The US killed no Israeli civilians in retaliation for the murder of Rachel Corie. On the other hand, American Israeli apologists want the US to kill many Iranian civilians in order to improve that nation's limited democracy. Israel and its supporters are fascinating.
So well said!!! I wish i wasn't working so i can hang around 'ere. On my vacations, i'll be back especially to take care of that dreckmeistre Jake. I truly hate it when Phil is insulted or, denigrated…It is most noble to be able to stand outside the "tribe" and to speak the "truth". There are no better human beings than those. As for calling the congresswoman a nutjob, that's an old ZioNazi tactic….they did it to the US ambassador to Lebanon in the 80's ( a Jewish American mensch (don't have the name) who was doing his best, right after the Mossad tried kill him.
Tommy, wow you better get a ladder, the shit is piling up around you. Your analogy is so stupid it almost hurts me to read it. you are a dumb dumb person.
God bless her and keep her safe. She's such an inspiration.
McKinney would have made a better president. She sees injustice and she does something about it. Erez Israel and Zionism are going to fall anyway but it's nice to see such a principled person giving her views on the conflict.
No.
Phil? Speaks the truth? You are PRECISELY the kind of gullible bigot who just LOVES MondoLies. You will believe any foolishness or stupid lie that Phil MondoLies publishes. The Mossad tried to kill a US ambassador? Ha! MondoGarbage!
She did not get a visa. Didn't apply for one, either. Smuggler in any language, in any country.
It would hurt your soul to read about all of the civilians Israel has killed.
Here point about the suffering of Gazans is much more relevant than her "suffering" is important. Keep your eye on the prize.
Likewise, but my wife voted for her.
Contrast the McKinney video with the video of Geert Wilders, who is so beloved by the wealthier more influential segment of the Jewish community: Followup: Boston (Stoughton) Jews Gone Wilders.
We dislike it when you refuse to reckognize the truth.
Unfortunately, God can not save her from her own idiocy.
McKinney would have made a great waitress.
Zionists prefer to see African Americans behind bars than in public office, which is why Zionists ran McKinney our of office in the US and locked her up in Israel. The racist upper ranks of the Democratic Party understands that most blacks won't be reliably Zionist/Jewish supremacist voters, so they discriminate against black candidates. Meanwhile, the Democrats in the US Senate continue to grow ever more Jewish with the addition of Al Franken. Jews now comprise 20% of Dems in the US Senate. There is only one African American. Between the KKK and the Democratic Party, at least the KKK is honest about its beleifs. The racists in the upper ranks of the Democratic Party pretend to be progressive, but then stab blacks in the back and jail them at first oppurtunity.
Patterns of Boston Jewish Power
Yeah right, ashkenazi pimp.
Yeah, right, Jake, and you are a a horribly bigoted jew to the core. The only reason Palestinians are not being gassed is that Israel is a welfare state and that would not be good PR. The Nazi Germans at least paid for their own evil, Israel has goy Uncle Sam pay for their opponent racial erasure. Typical.
Yeah, right Thom, like Madoff cared about the goys or even the jews who trusted him. What Madoff did was evil directed at any humane quality at all. Should we lump him in with all Jews as the hasbara agents on this blog lump in all Arabs?
Yeah, the US government approves of that American Jew who killed all those muslims at prayer. I deduce this from US government actions, not from US government BS language.
Quit farting out of your mouth, Israel Firster. It might save you in the long run, when we start sniffing out your state within our state, the very real Fifth Column of zionists among us.
And you could be the dish washer.
No question by people who have followed McKinney's career that she's been praised by Jewish organizations and members of congress when she attacks non-Jewish whites, but attacked by Jewish organizations and members of congress when she turned her eyes on zionist jewish agenda. Would be a neat movie. How she came to attack ALL forms of Uncle Tom. God forbid jews should ever be depicted as what many of the influential ones have been through time. Spielberg? Fat chance. He's a juvenile, sheltered all his life by goy cops and soldiers.
ROFL. I love this site. Phil, you should charge admission. Hey, brain dead Ed, want to take a guess which demographic group had the second highest percentage of votes for Obama? Nah, don't strain yourself. It was the Jews.
OK, someone slipped a cog. Hint, it was you. No one said anything about Madoff.
go play with your yoni
Jake the tide has shifted. Israel is not going to be able to keep getting away with their crimes
Oh there we go pulling out the tried and overused "anti semitic" card. Not working not working.
"Nah, don't strain yourself. It was the Jews." Most of whom are opposed to Israeli policy.
"The Mossad tried to kill a US ambassador? Ha! MondoGarbage!" His name is John Gunther Dean. He recently wrote his memoirs, which were approved for publication by the US State Department. "Dean, whose memoir is titled Danger Zones: A Diplomat's Fight for America's Interests, was American ambassador in Lebanon in August 1980 when a three-car convoy carrying him and his family was attacked near Beirut. "I was the target of an assassination attempt by terrorists using automatic rifles and antitank weapons that had been made in the United States and shipped to Israel," he wrote. "Weapons financed and given by the United States to Israel were used in an attempt to kill an American diplomat!" After the event, conspiracy theories abounded in the Middle East about who could have planned the attack, and why. Lebanon was a dangerously factionalized country. The State Department investigated, Dean said, but he was never told what the conclusion was. He wrote that he "worked the telephone for three weeks" and met only official silence in Washington. By then Dean had learned from weapons experts in the United States and Lebanon that the guns and ammunition used in the attack had been given by Israelis to a Christian militia allied with them. "I know as surely as I know anything that Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency, was somehow involved in the attack," Dean wrote, describing how he had been under sharp criticism from Israeli politicians and media for his contacts with Palestinians. "Undoubtedly using a proxy, our ally Israel had tried to kill me." Dean's memoir, to be published in May for the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Memoir Series by New Academia Publishing under its Vellum imprint, has been read and approved for publication by the State Department with only very minor changes, none affecting Dean's major points. Its underlying theme is that American diplomacy should be pursued in American interests, not those of another country, however friendly. A Jew whose family fled the Holocaust, Dean resented what he saw as an assumption, including by some in Congress, that he would promote Israel's interests in his ambassadorial work. " http://www.thenation.com/doc/20090413/crossette You're the gullible one, Jake. The Israeli government is well known for bold-faced lies and a policy of assassinations and yet you believe every lie they tell you.
Which makes clear that Ed's post is bs, you dimwit.
If you can't accept that Ed is an anti-Semite than you are blind.
Unfortunately for you, there was no "Israeli occupation" of Lebanon when Hezbollah captured the soldiers, as recognized by the UN Security Council: http://www.unwire.org/unwire/20000619/9409_story.... When you can't get the basic facts right, everything else is irrelevant.
No, not blind. Keep your fantasy canard slur to yourself. Ed has often revealed a wide grasp of history, and excellent logic. All your comments to date on this blog have been infantile hasbara. Anyone who comes on this blog can compare your comments with Ed's over the years.
The Mossad killed both Kennedys too, right? Goofball…
Dean was relieved of duty, considered insane. MondoFools fall again… Check it out…
Do you even know what Ashkenazi means? Or are you the garden variety of ignorant bigot, happily spewing on MondoLies?
