Bon voyage, Jihad Cindy McKinney; Update: Israeli Navy turns back S.S. Moonbat
Scroll down for updates…Cindy’s ship intercepted and turned back after crashing into Israeli Navy gunboat…
Move over, Hanoi Jane Fonda. Jihad Cindy McKinney is sailing to Gaza to deliver medical supplies to Hamas.
Is it a one-way ticket? We can only hope. Via the AJC:
Former Georgia congresswoman Cynthia McKinney is a high-profile member of a boatload of activists that set sail Monday from Cyprus to deliver medicine to war-torn Gaza.
McKinney, who ran as the Green Party candidate for president, sees the voyage as a humanitarian mission, said her father, former Georgia state Rep. Billy McKinney.
“Her mother did not want her to go,” he said, referring to concerns at home for her safety. “But I think that certain people have missions in life and you can’t deter them.”
The activists, organized by the Free Gaza Group, said their 66-foot yacht called “SS Dignity” would defy an Israeli blockade of Gaza and ferry 16 activists and three tons of Cypriot-donated supplies. The supplies are intended to help treat the wounded from Israeli bombings against targets in Gaza, in retaliation for rocket fire aimed at civilians in southern Israeli towns.

Update 5:22am Eastern. Carl in Jerusalem reports that the S.S. Moonbat has been turned back by the Israeli Navy…
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.

Don’t
tazeRAM me Bro!BTW, Is she over there on our dime?
Has anyone seen a vid of the actual incident? The McKinney group has video before and after but some how no one had a camera during the incident.
The only idiots who culd possibly believe that an Israeli war ship could “ram” a yacht and have that yacht still remain afloat, with no one injured, no real damage etc. would be other Dhimmi, anti-American, anti-Semitic, holocaust deniers and seditionists and traitors.
She knows her audience. That audience are the home-grown morons I just mentioned, hangers-on from other countries like Britain and France, and the jihadis they support against American rules.
Can someone PLEASE begin traitor and sedition hearings and proceedings on this whack-a-do soon? Just how much does this freak really need to do before someone throws her into a deep, dark, dank cell somewhere and throw away the key?
Better yet, let her go and hang out with her homies at Git-Mo. Let her get an up close and personal experience of all the “atrocities” that go on in there.
Where are the pirates when you need them?
I think if a IDF gun boat “Rammed” her boat, well lets just say its a loooooong swim Home. One question can her passport but pulled for being stupid?
