Hmm.. probably politically stupid no doubt.. but comments like this:

“This is an outrageous violation of international law against us.

Make me shake my head at people who live in fairy tale land. Surely this doesn't come as a surprise to anyone, let alone the people on the boat?

I'm more concerned we had elected one of those people into office and they believed "international law" existed?

No more off topic than the McKinney Bashing- can one of you PLEASE specify why you dislike her? Is it because she finds the dehumanized conditions in Gaza worth trying to help improve? Or because she alleged Bush had prior knowledge of 9/11 and you are all simply hardcore Bushies? What is it please?

You sure about that?

The SOURCE that the OP used was that free gaza site.

More media whoring.

Now children .. you must learn that your fellow ATS posters are NOT the topic of the threads here.

The topic of THIS thread was taken from the media-whore site 'free gaza'.
They weren't happy that they weren't getting attention in the MSM.
I'm sure McKinney wasn't happy about the crickets chirping either.
Therefore they put forth a story in order to try to get coverage.
But what they'll find is that not too many people give a hoot.

Israel didn't 'kidnap' her.
This 'source' is unreliable and biased with agenda.
If anyone were really to take McKinney, then they can keep her.
If she's stupid enough to go into a hot zone again, just to get her
ugly mug in the news, ... it's her problem. I don't care.

So if they took her "hostage" How did she get to make a final statement about her abduction? Seems much nicer then the normal abductions...

Even Flyers is gettin a piece and yet the snide, petty comments against McKinney have yet to be backed up with substantial criticisms that contribute to a positive discussion. Good for you guys.

Its a sad state of affair when a humanitarian who has the guts to put words into action get slammed in a post like this. Since when did trying to get aid and medical supplies to impoverished, oppressed people deserved comments like these.

It would make more sense if these same vindictive mob possess even a minutest trace of humanity that she is endowed with. Getting out of her comfort zone and embarking on a dangerous mission like this is an incredibly courageous endeavor. Especially faced with the IDF that has no compassion for human lives.

It has to be applauded and commended, not ridiculed.

It is ironical that this same horde wants the world to continuously pay atonement to the holocaust. The stench of hypocrisy and double standards are just overwhelming.

We've entered a really weird time in history. It seems like the people who are aware and those who aren't are growing further apart everyday. The evil being spewed on some of these threads gets to be a little overwhelming sometimes. Sometimes I'm not sure how to respond to some of the anger and hate expressed in these posts.

Wouldn't you have cried out for more opportunists during Nazi Germany?

The gaza is NOT Nazi Germany no matter how much you and your ilk try to pretend it is.

Take those rose colored glasses off and perhaps you'll see clearly what
this is - a media whoring event.

anti-jewish much?

The stench of hypocrisy and double standards are just overwhelming.

Yes .. and all you have to do is look in the mirror to see where it's coming from.

I'm interested as to what our resident neocons will have to say on this. How exactly is Israel in the clear, I wonder...

Mckinney is one of those awake people, she was in an alex jones film. Not surprising the Israelis are harassing her.

Two questions:

1) In your opinion, is every one who disagrees with your opinion on this incident a "neo-con?"

2) Have you done any research on McKinney?


Wait I have another...

3) Do you believe that appearing in an Alex Jones film gives one CREDIBILITY?
