I am shocked that no one here cares even a little about the people in Gaza. You really think the Nobel laureate Irish woman got on this boat and took this risk of being shot by some IDF thug, just to help Cynthia get in the news? How about getting some news out on the results of the Israeli collective punishment of Palestinians? What if Cynthia knows she will get attention from her enemies in the press – and she is trying to use that to at least get someone to look at Gaza.

She was trying to cause an international incident. What she did was extremely dangerous. I can't believe some people actually wanted her as to be the President of the US.

I reached the same conclusion you did. She is trying to start an international incident.

With all the problems on the African continent why would any black person fight for Arabs who are racist too.

while I understand the concern for Palenstinians I wonder why Blacks haven't been equally concerned over whats been happening to Africans on the continet I mean in the past decade there has been genocide, constant warfare, and women and children have suffered the most from these conditions

I don't agree with Cynthia in many ways, but, I do give her credit for putting herself in a very volatile situation. I don't think her political ways are productive but I do think she is passionate and not meant to harm.

She's lucky she's in prison to tell her story.

I'm telling y'all, pretty soon she's gonna be explaining the logic of these stunts to Davy Jones.

I understand the humanity work they want to do, but right now Israeli is going to look at this as if it was the Obama Admin doing.

That just might be true intention. Remember: It ain't just the Republicans who want Obama to fail.

Caught this one a while back. McKinney has been shilling this one for months. This is the second time she has tried to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza, and failed - the first being in October of '08.

Quite frankly, it's Cynthia's war on Jews.

I mean, with Darfur, and Somalia, and the Congo...

Aren't there some other needy folks of melanin more in need of some help?

Why in the heck would they do something like that at a time like this? I understand the humanity work they want to do, but right now Israeli is going to look at this as if it was the Obama Admin doing.

For goodness sake people let Obama do what he needs to do (just for a while) before going and causing a mess that he will have to fix.
