The 'Free Gaza' affair has come to a close after McKinney's dramatic seizure and incarceration by Israeli forces and she is currently awaiting deportation.
And what have the besieged Palestinians of Gaza gained?
Sure, Israel got some bad press. But not nearly as much as they got during the January assault on the Gaza Strip -- and what's happened since then?
Any intelligent reading of the situation will reveal that the Palestinians are, in actuality, worse off than they were before. Because, while the 'alternative' media focused attention on McKinney's standoff with the Israeli navy, the Israeli government announced the largest seizure of Palestinian land in more than 40 years (http://800poundgorilla.100webspace.net/geeklog//article.php?story=20090701011754520) -- a development of far, far greater consequence to the Palestinian people than whether or not a small consignment of humanitarian aid got into Gaza.
Cynthia, though, made out just fine: although she failed in her mission to Gaza, she has reaped considerable 'street cred,' or popular credibility, within the growing anti-Zionist movement -- without once publicly conceding any of the movement's core grievances. Those grievances, to name only a few, include the following: that Zionist control of the US government extends far, far beyond AIPAC; that 9/11 was an Israeli/Zionist false-flag op; and that certain historical events, particularly those surrounding World War Two, continue to be 'off limits' to academic research and public debate.
So now that the 'Free Gaza' campaign is over, without accruing any gains to the Palestinians whatsoever, we're hoping you will join us in an act of genuine opposition, one that actually has a chance at changing the status quo for the better -- for the Palestinians and for the world in general.

As opposed to we who just sit back and type words for a forum?
We are absolutely useless, outside of the internet: we have no organization, no funding, no publicity. All this sudden anti-Cynthia McKinney nonsense strikes me of the type of behind-the-scenes campaign that Daryl Bradford Smith likes to organize. If he continues with this, then he shall rightly be cast aside as any legitimate opposition.
Can't believe you're falling for this controlled opposition.
As for DBS, he's single-handedly led the charge against the criminal network.
McKinney wouldn't touch the real issues -- the issues that DBS has been talking about for years -- with a ten-foot pole.
We have to be smarter than that, friend.

I agree. Either these guys paranoia have gotten the best of them or be on the look out for shills. EVEN IF this was a "stunt", it still makes Israel look bad...oh I don't even want to entertain this.
JB - Do you have evidence of DBS doing this kind of thing?
Quote from: "satya"JB - Do you have evidence of DBS doing this kind of thing?
I know from personal experience that he loves to attack "fellow" anti-Zionists (and as a long history of doing so): pressured the owner of an anti-Zionist website, brain-washed one its admins, got Michael Collins Piper to repeat some silliness, and recently tried to do some background checking with the Swedish intelligence services SÄPO.
Man...I KNEW shit like this was going to eventually eat-away at the cause...
All of this in-fighting is serving only the Zionists' goals, and you people had better stop it now. I have said this more than once, but I'll have to say it again: Cynthia and the others are STILL being held as KIDNAPPED VICTIMS and they have done more in the past few days than we have done in YEARS to bring attention to how far the Zionists/Israel will go to say, "Fuck you" to the world and to law in general. Enough of this bickering and making unsubstantiated allegations. I am serious, people. ENOUGH OF THIS DISTRACTION.
After all of this is over and Cynthia and the others of the Free Gaza Movement are safe, then you can say and do whatever your little fingers on your keyboard let you, but for now--We have people whose lives are in danger by their CAPTORS and people come here to learn what is happening and DO NOT need to read shit like what has been put-out by several people whom I respect at TIU.
Stop it because now is not the time for this. I will not repeat myself again.

IMHO, Cynthia McKinney is brave to do what she did and noble for the effort to help Palestine... however, she is a US Politician.
I do think she is Anti-Zionist, as is her Father, but she has spent a lot of her political capital by sitting with people like Mugabe.
In other words, she can and does speak the truth about situations - but who will follow behind her? She speaks truth, no doubt about it, but she does carry a flag with a lot of "baggage" that many people will turn from. Maybe we do need more brave souls like her to carry out "Rachel Corrie" oriented missions - let's hope she'll have a "Win" in this propaganda war. She calls it as she sees it but she needs better judgement at times (like with Mugabe). Again, she is a US politician -- most of them have motives that are not that noble (like most of US on this board).
That's the honest way I see her.
No harm intended, L.L.
Zionism is the enemy here.
Joe Blowsmen is a shill and that is getting clearer with every new post.

I think Duh Bull Shitter has been the shill's shill in the anti-Zionist movement from the beginning.
Joe you got something real for us or just hot air?

Joe: I concur with the above. You've posted some excellent material from time to time but it's interspersed with some bald allegations for which no evidence has been tendered. Do you have the goods with respect to your DBS slurs? If so, there is no doubt that this audience is acutely interested in perusing your evidence. I you have none, as I suspect, what does that say about you and your role? Any chance you're on someone's payroll? How about all future slurs being accompanied by some real evidence and the absence of such will demonstrate to us which side you work for. If you have proof, by all means share it with us. Who else is more interested in finding out the truth than the audience here?
Maybe we're all shills and don't even know it!!!! Maybe we're all shills from different agencies and we're trying to out-shill each other? :!: :? :shock: :o shill dilly dill dil. Who else has the shilly willies?
who's not a 'schill'? Say I! Let's all take a chill-pill on the shill over-kill. Aiiiiiiiiiiiight? :ugeek:
