If you haven’t yet had a look at former U.S. Rep Cynthia McKinney’s firsthand account of getting her aid boat rammed by Israeli ships while on an mission to Gaza last week, it’s worth a read.

McKinney: “We were engaged in peaceful activity, a harmless pleasure boat carrying a load of hospital supplies for the people of Gaza, who, too, are sitting ducks, currently being bombarded in aerial assault by the Israeli military.”

Israel disagreed: “Unfortunately, former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney has taken it upon herself to commit an act of provocation, leading a small boat of supposed assistants into the conflict zone. She endangered herself, her assistants, and the vessel’s crew. The Israeli navy hailed Ms. McKinney but the former Congresswoman failed to respond, thereby leading to the incident. We regret that during this time of crisis, while Israel is battling with the terrorist organization of Hamas and defending its citizens, that we are forced to deal with Ms. McKinney’s irresponsible behavior.”
