Former Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney was aboard a boat called the Dignity that CNN said was rammed by an Israeli boat.
The boat was carrying volunteers and medical supplies to Gaza when it was intercepted. It left Cyprus Monday.
"Our mission was a peaceful mission, to deliver medical supplies," McKinney said. "Our mission was thwarted by aggressiveness of Israeli military. Now one of the things I would like to ask President-elect Obama is to say something, please, about humanitarian crisis that is being experienced right now by the people of Gaza."
CNN reporter Karl Penhaul, who was on board the Dignity, said part of the boat's motor was damaged. Penhaul called the collision intentional, saying the Israeli boat pursued the Dignity for half an hour before the ramming occured.
Probably all the while telling them to turn around, that they were in violation of coastal laws and trying to enter a war zone. I'm surprized at Israel's restraint -- I would have fired a 30mm round into their engine room after having to listen to that moonbat bray. Here are the remains of the SS Dignity -- looks like the Israeli's tried to minimize the damage. And here is the Honorable Ms. McKinney when she tried out a new hairdoo, refused to carry her Congresssional Identification tag and was stopped by a security guard when she tried to enter Congressional Hall. She punched the guard. Moonbat.
