When the IAF struck back after Israel finally said “enough” to Qassam rocket and mortar fire from Hamas, the first thought America’s terrorist-loving “peace activists” had was to load up a ship full of medical supplies for the oppressed and misunderstood terrorists and set sail for the Gaza Strip. Aboard was former Georgia congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, who never misses an opportunity to pay back her major campaign donors of the jihadist persuasion. McKinney is known to be no friend of Israel, but it’s not her fault, as she was just raised that way.
As Jon Lewis of WSB radio reported, the Ship of Fools had no permission from the Israelis to dock in Gaza. The ship, named the Dignity, encountered the Israeli Navy in international waters, and what happened next depends on who you want to believe. The Dignity’s captain says he was ordered to turn around by Israeli officials, who accused him of carrying out terrorist activities. The ship returned to Cyprus for repairs.
A spokesman for the Israeli Foreign Ministry says the Dignity was trying to outmaneuver the Israeli boat when the two ships collided. CNN reporter Karl Penhaul, who was embedded with the useful idiots, claims the Israeli ship deliberately rammed them after having pursued Dignity for a half hour before ramming it. Because CNN never lies, we should believe Penhaul, that the Israeli Navy intentionally rammed the Ship of Fools.
McKinney, a 9/11 conspiracy theorist, told CNN (“CNN” in this case being one Karl Panhaul, no doubt):
“Our mission was a peaceful mission. Our mission was thwarted by the aggressiveness of the Israeli military.”
How dare those oppressive Jooos turn back a boatload of useful idiots trying to give aid and comfort to terrorists! McKinney, who was the Green Party candidate for president in the recent election, also rarely misses a chance to prove that she’s one of the Blame America First crowd:
“There is a need for the medical supplies that is on this boat; there is a need for international attention and perhaps most importantly, there is a need for the people in the United States to understand that every piece of rubble that is there on this strip of land [Gaza] is caused by US weapons.”
If those who were aboard the Dignity are correct that their ship was intentionally rammed, then Bravo Zulu, Israeli Navy!

IL_Glock21 (Diary) Tuesday, December 30th at 12:11PM EST (link)I heard about McKinney planning on taking part in this nonsense on Little Green Footballs… just started hearing about the alleged ramming of the UNN Moonbat from some Hamas apologist claiming Israel did nothing more than deny humanitarian aid to the suffering Gazans.
Lordy…
Useful idiots is certainly the appropriate term. The people who intentionally pull these anti-Israel political stunts and the yahoos that mindlessly parrot their propaganda swear they aren’t aiding a belligerent in a war, but it’s getting harder and harder to believe they aren’t intentionally trying to aid one belligerent over another by their flimsy rationalizations.
I wonder if they’ll ever realize how much their efforts have helped prolong the stalemate they claim to despise? I doubt it.

not to be a jerk, but if the IDF navy ship was chasing after the Dignity for half an hour, wouldnt this be, to a reasonable person, a case of the Dignity ‘trying to outmaneuver ‘ the IDF ship when it was rammed?

Elizabeth Christian (Diary) Tuesday, December 30th at 5:12PM EST (link)the Somali Pirates – would it be Obama to the rescue – oops it would take him 3-5 days for his handlers to come up with a plan and a response – he would probably just vote “present” from Hawaii.
Would it be Cyndi Sheehan – or was she one of the fools on the ship? You know birds of a feather flock together.
That would be the funniest joke of the year – to have the Somali’s hijack a ship with liberals including the communist queen herself Cynthia McKinney and actually ask people to pay for their release – they would all starve together on the fool ship. Now we know why they stayed away – the Somali pirates knew better.

JLenardDetroit (Diary) Wednesday, December 31st at 1:02AM EST (link)maybe we can pay them in advance to take the USS Lack Of Dignity (in this case, USS = United States Socialists’ vessel)…. and that was/is supposed to be considered an “Aid ship”???? huh??? That was barely more than an everyday fishing boat out here on the Great Lakes of Michigan…. That’s barely a boat, certainly no “Aid Ship” … and they expected the Israeli’s to recognize that “thing” to be anything more than a POTENTIAL TERRORIST THREAT wandering around the waters at this time of high tensions!?!?!
I about fell off the couch laughing when I saw the video of what they were calling an “Aid ship”….. I, at first, did scratch my head over the incident thinking it was a REAL easily identified CARGO style Aid ship easily/clearly marked…. and then I saw that video….. HILARIOUS!!!! There is NO QUESTION IN MY MIND that the BRAINLESS LIBERALS on that glorified ROW BOAT went out of their way to create the confrontation so as to be glorified in their Liberal MSM outlets…..

grizz Tuesday, December 30th at 5:24PM EST (link)why not search the ship? Allow medical supplies to go through (there are civilians being killed) and food. If anything other than that was found, then open the petcocks and let it sink.
They probably don't want "humanitarian" supplies going to Hamas (nt)

Elizabeth Christian (Diary) Tuesday, December 30th at 5:46PM EST (link)rockets launched into Israel by Hamas – randomly into Israel at civilian targets. I pray that God protects the innocent on both sides and that God will strike down those who wants to harm Israel and God’s people.
A cease fire of 48 hours was proposed to get humanitarian supplies into Gaza but Hamas would not agree to stop launching their evil rockets into Israel and would not admit that Israel had the right to exist – if Hamas were to agree to those two conditions they would have humanitarian supplies delivered – Cynthia McKinney is not the humanitarian queen no matter how much she thinks she is – she was just a member on the “ship of fools”. It is simple tell Hamas to put their evil rockets down, admit Israel is a legitimate state, and they can have all the humanitarian supplies they need. If I were delivering the supplies I would not go into an area launching rockets either!!! Hamas is about as bright as Cynthia McKinney – they both hate America and Israel and claim to be peacemakers but are always out causing trouble for the world.
I’m from Georgia – trust me I have seen that crazy Cynthia McKinney in action and thanks to a couple of friends of mine who busted her – standing in a chair in the polling place during an election which she was on the ballot – screaming at the top of her lungs “stop, don’t you go nowhere until you vote for me, vote for me, vote for me, vote for Cynthia McKinney” – at least thanks to those two patriotic ladies that little communist anti-American became politically irrelevant – along with her slapping a Capital Law Officer – she went from the Democrats to the Green Party – the only difference is the press pays attention to the liberal Democrats and not the Green Party – glad she changed parties. Now the only time we have to see the woman is when she is doing something stupid and gets caught on the news!!!

The ship tried to run when approched:
gekster (Diary) Tuesday, December 30th at 6:10PM EST (link)from cnn web news;
But Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor denied that and said the patrol boat had warned the vessel not to proceed to Gaza because it is a closed military area.
Palmor said there was no response to the radio message, and the vessel then tried to out-maneuver the Israeli patrol boat, leading to the collision
