Cynthia McKinney refused to sign illegal deportation form!!!!!!!!

http://www.counterpunch.org/lamb07062009.html

Former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney returned home today after 6 days being held by the government of Israel while attempting with 21 colleagues to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza on the vessel, the Spirit of Humanity.

"Don't sign Miss Cynthia don't sign!" So chanted a boisterous group of Palestinian teens and pre-teens in Beirut's Shatila Refugee Camp demonstrating support for the Freegaza Humanity boat abductees on the 4th of July.

The students understood that in refusing to sign the Israeli government prepared "acknowledgement/confession" the Freegaza group acted consistent with International Law. They learned that territorial waters, as defined by the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea is a belt of coastal waters extending at most twelve nautical miles from the baseline (usually the mean low-water mark) of a coastal state. The territorial sea is regarded as the sovereign territory of the state, although foreign ships (both military and civilian) are allowed innocent passage through it. They learned from media reports that in any case the Humanity was in International waters and that consequently Israel had no right to molest it.

The formidable one-time lawmaker and the rest of her group could have been released soon after they were taken into custody but they refused to sign a document admitting they violated Israel's blockade. All will be held at least until Sunday, when they are to appear in court.

Former U.S. lawmaker and Green Party presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney and several other activists remained in an Israeli prison Thursday after refusing to sign a deportation form that they claim is self-incriminating.

Good for her and she respected the wishes of the pre-teen Palestinians.

Although this didn't make the mainstream, I do believe that this incident has attracted more people to our cause and in effect, the cause of Gaza. Why? Because Jones and others did and had to talk about it. Most of the alternative news media sites I have followed did cover it and the comments were almost 100% in support of Cynthia Mckinney AND the PALESTINIANS. People are starting to get it. This certainly is another black-eye for the Israelie State and evil je wish leadership. This support and understanding will only lead to more forward momentum.

Thanks Joe!

I agree.  When Cynthia Mckinney first went into politics she was typical Marxist front person for the zio-cartel.  I couldn't stand the women but something changed her and I suspect it is what she saw up in Washington.  She was the last person in the world I would have looked for leadership.  But now she has more guts than most of the men in washington.  She not only was willing to lose her job in Washington but was willing to lose her life in the ME for what she thought was right.

What makes me sick is this Rev. Joseph Lowery who made a limp wristed statement that was designed to not piss off his zionist masters while giving Cynthia Mckinney little to no support.  In fact it sounds like he is going along with the smear campaign by the zios that she is insane and we have to understand her illness and not be too mad at her.  

Noticed how he says he spoke on the phone with Consulate General of Israel.  If it had been anyone else he would have been squaking to the newspapers and TV.  

Civil rights leader the Rev. Joseph Lowery, head of the Atlanta-based Coalition for the People's Agenda, said he and others have spoken by phone with the Consulate General of Israel.

"Whatever happened, there was no harm done," Lowery said. "She was not carrying munitions, but medicine. We hope Israel will show compassion and release her and let her go on to deliver the much-needed medicine to the Gaza Strip. ... If she were carrying guns, that would be a different thing. [But] she was carrying humanitarian aid."

Its amazing how the Zio media have kept this story quiet.

In America they haven't kept it quiet. The press is laughing at her and portraying her as a nut. What do you expect from the Jew Dog media?
