Israel Kidnaps Cynthia McKinney

reply to post by antar


No body has been taken hostage. Israel will not ask for a ransom, or even detain her or anyone else on that ship. As posted above, once the supplies on that ship are inspected to ensure that there are no weapons, the supplies will be trucked into Gaza.

Get a grip. Hostage, HA!

Hmm.. probably politically stupid no doubt.. but comments like this:

“This is an outrageous violation of international law against us.

Make me shake my head at people who live in fairy tale land. Surely this doesn't come as a surprise to anyone, let alone the people on the boat?

I'm more concerned we had elected one of those people into office and they believed "international law" existed?

No more off topic than the McKinney Bashing- can one of you PLEASE specify why you dislike her? Is it because she finds the dehumanized conditions in Gaza worth trying to help improve? Or because she alleged Bush had prior knowledge of 9/11 and you are all simply hardcore Bushies? What is it please?

You sure about that?

The SOURCE that the OP used was that free gaza site.

More media whoring.

Facts don't matter to the Obama pundits here, Oatmeal. You should know that. All they care about is biased 'reporting' from their socialist 'news' networks.

Now children .. you must learn that your fellow ATS posters are NOT the topic of the threads here.

The topic of THIS thread was taken from the media-whore site 'free gaza'.
They weren't happy that they weren't getting attention in the MSM.
I'm sure McKinney wasn't happy about the crickets chirping either.
Therefore they put forth a story in order to try to get coverage.
But what they'll find is that not too many people give a hoot.

Israel didn't 'kidnap' her.
This 'source' is unreliable and biased with agenda.
If anyone were really to take McKinney, then they can keep her.
If she's stupid enough to go into a hot zone again, just to get her
ugly mug in the news, ... it's her problem. I don't care.

So if they took her "hostage" How did she get to make a final statement about her abduction? Seems much nicer then the normal abductions...

Even Flyers is gettin a piece and yet the snide, petty comments against McKinney have yet to be backed up with substantial criticisms that contribute to a positive discussion. Good for you guys.

I'm interested as to what our resident neocons will have to say on this. How exactly is Israel in the clear, I wonder...

Mckinney is one of those awake people, she was in an alex jones film. Not surprising the Israelis are harassing her.

Are you kidding? If awake means lacking common sense and wasting peoples time with another dog and pony show under the guise of humanatarian aide, then yeah she's awake alright.

Why is it this lunatic always, I mean always manages to render aide when there is a camera around. Anyone want to render a guess on how long it will take Sharpton or Jackson to run to her rescue? I'll go first Not in this lifetime they are too busy fighting over MJ's family.

How can anyone call themselves awake and be gullible enough to think there is any truth to this story?

Its a sad state of affair when a humanitarian who has the guts to put words into action get slammed in a post like this. Since when did trying to get aid and medical supplies to impoverished, oppressed people deserved comments like these.

It would make more sense if these same vindictive mob possess even a minutest trace of humanity that she is endowed with. Getting out of her comfort zone and embarking on a dangerous mission like this is an incredibly courageous endeavor. Especially faced with the IDF that has no compassion for human lives.

It has to be applauded and commended, not ridiculed.

It is ironical that this same horde wants the world to continuously pay atonement to the holocaust. The stench of hypocrisy and double standards are just overwhelming.

They should have notified the Israeli government of their intentions and requested permission to enter Gaza with humanitarian aid under the auspice of the UN. I'm with they assumption, they were asking for trouble; and did this act intentionally to add more friction to the already venomous situation in Gaza. I'm trying to look at this realistically and maybe former congresswoman McKinney needed a media fix since she has been out of the news for sometime. Any publicity is good publicity?

They did notify the Israeli's they were coming, un-armed with humanitarian supplies. The Israeli's told them before they left that they would be turned back. They have tried two times before this and were turned back, I give them credos for going again...Don't know why they took McKinney though, yes the Israeli's can keep her, Please!!

We've entered a really weird time in history. It seems like the people who are aware and those who aren't are growing further apart everyday. The evil being spewed on some of these threads gets to be a little overwhelming sometimes. Sometimes I'm not sure how to respond to some of the anger and hate expressed in these posts.

reply to post by Floating thru Reality


I love how the new cool thing to do is when somebody disagrees with a post the others just aren't "awake" or "aware". Maybe people just don't agree with you on the issue, why does it make them any less knowledgeable about their surroundings just because they have another opinion?


Do some research and you will probably find out she is an opportunist and that's why people are being negative to her. If you have done your research and come to a different conclusion then I applaud you for standing by your views and wish you a good day.

If going out on a limb to help save another human being considered opportunist, then for god sake, let everybody be opportunists. We just don't have enough of them.

Wouldn't you have cried out for more opportunists during Nazi Germany?

reply to post by A Conscience

Perhaps only those who can honestly say they are or have never been opportunistic to any degree should condemn her. Yet, aren't we all opportunists to some extent- if life is a series of choices you learn early on to choose that which you think will benifit you most.

There is a fairly stark line on this thread and I side with those who choose not to attack her person.

The gaza is NOT Nazi Germany no matter how much you and your ilk try to pretend it is.

Take those rose colored glasses off and perhaps you'll see clearly what
this is - a media whoring event.

anti-jewish much?

The stench of hypocrisy and double standards are just overwhelming.

Yes .. and all you have to do is look in the mirror to see where it's coming from.

Two questions:

1) In your opinion, is every one who disagrees with your opinion on this incident a "neo-con?"

2) Have you done any research on McKinney?


Wait I have another...

3) Do you believe that appearing in an Alex Jones film gives one CREDIBILITY?

reply to post by A Conscience


Please read the rest of my post as you seem to have missed it.

"If you have done your research and come to a different conclusion then I applaud you for standing by your views and wish you a good day. "

Also I believe that she is getting what she knew she would get so let her deal with the consequences of her actions. Trying to draw parralels with the Nazi's is a great use of shock and awe but lets just stick to the subject at hand.

They knew that there was a large chance they would be in some trouble for doing what they did and I don't believe she is doing what she does because she actually cares for the people there. She is doing it to try and get 15 more minutes of fame. That to me is the wrong reason for her actions.
