Petition for the release of Cynthia McKinney, others, posted online
A petition calling for the release of Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney and the other 20 people aboard the Spirit of Humanity when it was seized by the Israeli Defense Force has been posted to a webpage maintained by the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation.
Passengers and crew abducted from international waters by the Israeli navy include:
US Campaign Advisory Board member, Huwaida Arraf; Former U.S. Congresswoman, Cynthia McKinney, Irish Nobel Peace Laurate, Mairead Maguire; al-Jazeera journalists Othman Abufalah and Mansour Al-Abi; Khalad Abdelkader; Khaled Al-Shenoo; Fatima Al-Attawi; Juhaina Alqaed; Ishmahil Blagrove; Kaltham Ghloom; Derek Graham; Alex Harrison; Denis Healey; Fathi Jaouadi; Lubna Masarwa; Theresa McDermott; Adnan Mormesh; Adam Qvist; Adam Shapiro; Kathy Sheetz
H/T to On The Wilder Side for the link.
I guess that the petition now is pointless since she has already been released.
Message to Israel….Keep McKinney in jail. She is not wanted in the USA
Dear Isreal,
Thank you so much for taking our beloved Cynthia Mckinney under your wing and showing her around the inside of your jails. God Bless whoever has to run your jails and has listen to her running her mouth 24 hours a day. Any chance you can keep her for a few years??
Mike
So, let me get this straight. All we had to do was to put her in jail and we could have shut her up?? man, why didn’t we think of that??
Good luck with her Isreal. You thought Iran was a handful……you have no idea! But I guess you will find out soon enough. Feel free to keep her for the long weekend (or longer).
As a follow up to the other comments on this site, any chance we can change the petition for Isreal to keep her?
A petition to free her? Why the heck would we want to do that?? have we lost our mind?
these posts are hilarious! Not seeing too many folks on this petition yet. Maybe that’s because no one wants her released!
Given that “Dana Barba”, “Jason Parker”, “Susan Akers”, “John Smith”, and “Mike M” are all the same person, I’d hardly say that your split personality is indicating a “plurality”.
You must hate Cynthia very much. I’m sure she must have done something horrible to you to have so much hate in you.
I am not “Dana Barba”, “Jason Parker”, “Susan
Akers”, “John Smith”, or “Mike M” and concur that the US does not need Cynthia McKinney or her hatred an divisive poitical actions. Even Israel doesn’t want her. Smart people.
yo ronald i dont see any hate in the comments on the other hand yours is the only one with the word hate in it i wonder why
Cynthia McKinney makes me proud. I voted for her the most honest voice in the race.
Shame on all Zionist fracks. Release Cynthia immediately. We will remember this and the way Israelis are treating Gaza.
We love you Cynthia.
Bless Israel!! How about dropping Cynthia off 3/4 the way back to her boat… I’d be happy to provide a few rocks for around her neck.
“Bless Israel!! How about dropping Cynthia off 3/4 the way back to her boat… I’d be happy to provide a few rocks for around her neck.”
Such nice people, these zionist types.
You can feel the humanity in every word they type.
Howard from North Georgia = potential murderer
I guess a lot of people from the Green Party don’t want her released.
Yeah, she may seem crazy because of the way the mainstream media has presented her. BUT if you listen to the real Cynthia, via youtube posts of her actual speeches, you will find one of the last few American patriots. America is dieing. Cynthia is trying to stop the bleeding. She may not get everything right, but she is trying. There is a law about people who render first aid in an emergency situation. It is there to protect people who try to help from being sued when they make mistakes. She is a real good samaritan. I don’t believe in all of her views, but I do believe in HER. She is real. Unlike many of the CIA posters on this site. They are sold out. God knows what they are thinking. Maybe they are doing just fine on the Adderall they get from their MDs parading around as drug dealers ooops I mean thereapists. God bless America, and may we some day be able to look back on all of this and see the Cynthia Mckinney for the American hero she is. Youtube her, and find her unedited speeches. There you will find the truth about Cynthia Mckinney.
If Israel didn’t want Cynthia and the rest of the Spirit of Humanity’s crew they were completely free not to kidnap them in Palestinian waters.
If you want to believe the FoxNews world view, you too are similarly free to do as you will, oo bad some of you seem unwilling to stand up for the right of Palestinians to have roofs and crayons for their children.
They bomb the strip on the premise that Hamas won’t lock up the guerrillas, yet the first bombs target police stations and jails very effectively. Little need to make the case that criminals are running free when they have assured as much so they may feel they have an excuse to bomb schools and refugees as well.
Seems to me that someone who would buy that those who continue to build armed and fortified settlements, from which they shoot at a captive populace, and suck the aquifers dry while destroying any wells and olive trees that might remain on an ancient concord with the local environment, claiming to be victimized and terrorized by a captive impoverished population trying to defend itself with homemade rockets against one quarter of the aid the US offers abroad and the second best armed nation in the world, is likely to think whatever it is suggested they should think.
If you buy that my bombing and staffing another from helicopters, jets, and drones, using white phosphorus missles and embargoing even crayons and cement makes him a terrorist if his nieghbor gets angry just because i (missed? and) killed his entire family, made it impossible to be gainfully employed, or even housed humanely, and he sent a garage bomb after me at the cost of his own life makes him the coward and terrorist, and me a victum and a hero, then you can also expect me to care very little for what else you may think.
The same logic pretty much also applies to those horrid large green vested interests and giant liberal corporations who want to subjugate us in a socialist open air prison on the premise that we should stop doing excessive damage to the climate that the sustainability and stability of our food and water depend upon, or the idea that it is possibly better to have air vertebrates can breathe than corporate profits.
Similarly, those poor fools who claim that it is a problem that humans no longer run the USA government, are very dangerous, and listening to them will probably cause your head to explode (if you actually think about it while listening, your mother’s head will also explode).
It may seem uncharitable to some for me to take this attitude, but i feel that anyone with the stamina and gonads of our dear Cynthia deserves some passing respect at least, even if one does not agree with everything she has ever said or done.
I’d like to see some of the do nothing whiners go get on a boat and try to land in Gaza despite being warned they will be fired upon whilst having com channels jammed, after having been rammed the last time.
When a complete lack of reason is widely regarded as reasonable, reasonable people will be widely regarded as unreasonable.
Message to all the Zionists – go crawl back to your pits in hell where you shall God willing eternally dwell, no one cares for your crap about the world being anti-semetic. The more I have to listen to Zionists one-sided hypocritical garbage, the more I want to sympathize with all the so-called “anti-semites” out there. In fact, I think generally speaking anyone labeled by you mud-slinging Zionists as “anti-semetic” for not standing with your deluded, ethnocentric, jingoistic, supremacist, racist views is probably an genuinely alright person. Don’t worry, you guys are running on borrowed time, you will pay dearly for your lives of arrogance and slander.
She is clearly an antisemite and they should have sunk the whole boat of the terrorist supporters Israel is too soft!! When will the world realize we survived the holocaust and the Nazis now the world can’t stand the fact we have regainedvthe land G*D gave to us free of palestinians and fat black Americans!! Leave Israel alone go mess up your own country this land is ours
I love Cynthia and she is very brave and dedicated to put her life on the line to do something she belives in.
Most American politicians are FULL of CRAp because that is what most Americans tolerate and when someone comes along that actually believes in what she is saying and puts actions behind it that person is villafied.
This paranoid activity by the Isralei government is providing the world with good look at how nuts and hardline their decision makers are.
McKinney must be doing something right for that jason/susan/yo man lamer to fake so many posts about her. Go Cynthia!
“In a time of universal deceit telling the truth becomes an act of treason.”
To those of you trashing CM, you know not what you speak of, or you are agents for those that would defeat this country and spread hate and fascism.
What’s wrong with this world is that there are not enough Cynthia McKinney’s in the world.
This woman is a dying breed who really cares everything she says is based on factual evidence
agnostic,khazars,white anglo europeans are not semites so she cannot be anti herself.
Check the facts not what the devil says he just a beast who will never change .
I think many people are missing the point here. It doesn’t matter whether you agree with her views or not, whats important is that she is a US CITIZEN and she is being held captive by another nation. This is called KIDNAPPING, in case nobody has noticed. The govt should demand her release immediately.
Leave Cynthia McKinney alone she has been through hell for what she believes. If I have to go and protect her, then your ass is out.
leave her crazy ass there
No! Set her free! And set the People of Gaza Free, too!
I am willing to start a fund to have the Israeli’s keep her. She has done nothing for anyone but herself.
Bullshit, Jason, she’s been a voice for those who don’t have a voice in the public discourse.
Keep up the good work, Cynthia!!!
OK, we all know (at least all of us who live in GA and have had to put up with her) that she hates America and all that it stands for. A voice for those that don’t have a voice? huh? Been through hell for what she believes? what?
What about the hell she has put the good people of GA through by her “representation” in our Gov’t! God Bless her though because she sure is fun to watch and it is a riot listening and reading all the ignorant and uneducated in our country trying to defend her.
Keep it up Cynthia, we all need some comic relief in this day and age of doom and gloom!
