Israel keeps ex-congresswoman McKinney in custody
Press TV
Saturday, July 4, 2009
A former US lawmaker and a number of other human rights activists remain imprisoned in Israel three days after their failed attempt to break Israel’s Gaza blockade.
Tel Aviv has kept most of the peace activists, seized at sea by the Israeli navy, in custody without providing information on their release.
On Tuesday, Israeli authorities seized a ship carrying relief aid for the blockaded Gaza strip. The vessel was also carrying 21 pro-Palestinian international activists.
Irish Nobel peace prize laureate Mairead Maguire and former US congresswoman Cynthia McKinney were among those aboard.
(ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)
The boat has been charged with “illegal entry” into Israel. Cynthia McKinney insists that the Spirit of Humanity, the Greek-flagged relief boat, was in international waters.
“We were in international waters on a boat delivering humanitarian aid to people in Gaza when the Israeli Navy ships surrounded us and illegally threatened us, dismantled our navigation equipment, boarded and confiscated the ship,” she said in a statement, adding that they were immediately taken into custody.
“Immigration officials in Israel said they did not want to keep us, but we remain imprisoned,” she said.

Hi Cynthia,
You and your fellow travelers are in my prayers. Thank you for your valliant efforts to help the people (children) of Palestine. I know you would do the same for the Israeli people if the situation were reversed. I know who you are.
I not only pray for your release but pray for your success to arrive safely on the shores of Palestine with the essential gifts of sustainence for the people. My heart breaks for the families (all) Palestinian, Israeli, Iraqui, Afgani, American, African, etc. any who have become the target in this war against life, all of us, the family of God.
I love you, come home safe. I will vote for you again for President of the United State of America. Actions speak so much more than words and you are a woman of action. Shelley

Shelley, Cynthia McKinney is nothing more than a failed politician whose own party has disowned her. She will do ANYTHING for attention. She cares nothing about anyone or anything except her own self-aggrandizement. People like you who are taken in by her stupid antics are the reason we have an America hating wannabe dictator for president now.

Jack was really a jester
Who held his one good eye on the queen
And there sat the king beside her
He’s pointing his sword up and down with every scene
And the wizard’s in the corner
Catching peanuts between his teeth
And the dogs lying in the shadow in the archway
There’s one good dog sleeping filled with good ol’ dog dreams
He slipped next to the wizard
Whispered something deep, to the bottom of his ear
A little joke, the one about the farmer’s daughter
How she was stomping on grapes, coming up with blue feet and beer
And he slipped behind the queen
Where the fools go the rich don’t mind
Lately the king’s (k)nights have turned a little rusty
And his halo – I mean his crown – has gone and slipped down around his eyes
The wizard’s in the corner
Pulling lizards between his knees
And the dog he been long gone
Gone to pitch for the winning team
Fifty-two, I mean fifty-four bicycles on the wall
Ready to ride, ready to ride until the last of them falls
Jack’s been cooking in the kitchen
Whompin’ up some biscuits for us all
For us all, For us all
Ready to ride, ready to ride, ride

Man what a great July 4th this shaping up to be. Fireworks and hot-dogs ,and Cynthia McKinney sweating it out in Israeli jail . I mean does it get any better than that!
Oh man I’ll be shooting off Chinese made fireworks and drinking Mexican beer and singing ‘God Bless America.” And old Cynthia will be crapping down a hole in the floor with a Arab audience ,and Israeli security camera. Later it go up on You- Tube for future fun.
Yep ! Sometimes, things just fall in place, and all is right in the world.
God Bless America .
PS. Israel please keep McKinney as long as you want. Or trade her to the N. Koreans for those two hot asian chicks , that Al Gore screwed over ,by sending them to N. korea.

Since the rebirth of Israel as a nation in 1948 America has been the best friend, close ally, and financial supporter of Israel. However, in the last decade, we have been distancing ourselves from the defense of Israel while encouraging them to give up land for peace. Are we now bringing Gods judgment and wrath upon ourselves?
God makes a covenant with Israel in Genesis 12:1-3 – 1″Now the Lord said to Abram, Go for yourself away from your country, from your relatives and your father’s house, to the land that I will show you. 2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name famous and distinguished, and you will be a blessing 3 And I will bless those who bless you and curse him who curses or uses insolent language toward you; in you will all the families and kindred of the earth be blessed.”
The Jew is God’s chosen people. God was very clear his intentions of protecting Israel.
Nine Major “Acts Of God” That Coincided With The Timing of US Pressure On Israel To Give Up Land
October 30, 1991: President George Bush opens the Madrid Conference with an initiative for a Middle East peace plan involving Israel’s land.
On the same day, an extremely rare storm forms off the coast of Nova Scotia. (It was eventually tagged “The Perfect Storm,” and a book and movie were made about it.) Record-setting 100-foot waves form at sea and pound the New England Coast, even causing heavy damage to President Bush’s home in Kennebunkport, Maine.
August 23, 1992: The Madrid Conference moves to Washington D.C. and the peace talks resume, lasting four days. On that same day, Hurricane Andrew — the worst natural disaster ever to hit America — produces an estimated $30 billion in damage and leaves 180,000 homeless in Florida.
January 16, 1994: President Clinton meets with Syria’s President Hafez el-Assad in Geneva. They talk about a peace agreement with Israel that includes giving up the Golan Heights. Less than 24 hours later, a powerful 6.9 earthquake rocks Southern California. This quake, centered in Northridge, is the second most destructive natural disaster to hit the United States, behind Hurricane Andrew.
March 1 to April 1997: The combination of PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat touring America, and Clinton rebuking Israel for not giving away her land for peace, coincide with some of the worst tornadoes and flooding in US history. On the very day Arafat lands in America, powerful tornadoes devastate huge sections of the nation, ripping across Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Kentucky and Tennessee. Arafat’s American tour also coincides with the storms in the Dakotas, which result in the worst flooding of this century, in addition to weeks of major storms throughout the Midwest. Arafat finishes his tour and leaves the US and the storms stop.
January 21, 1998: Netanyahu meets with President Clinton at the White House and is coldly received. Clinton and Secretary of State Madeleine Albright refuse to have lunch with him. Shortly afterwards that day, the Monica Lewinsky scandal breaks into the mass media and begins to occupy a major portion of Clinton’s time.
September 27-28, 1998: Secretary of State Madeleine Albright works on the final details of an agreement in which Israel will give up 13 percent of Yesha. The same day Hurricane Georges slams into the Gulf Coast with 110 mph winds and gusts up to 175. The hurricane hits the coast and stalls.
On September 28, Clinton meets with Arafat and Netanyahu at the White House to finalize the land deal. Later, Arafat addresses the United Nations about declaring an independent Palestinian state by May 1999, while Hurricane Georges pounds the Gulf Coast causing $1 billion in damage.
At the exact time Arafat departs the US the storm begins to dissipate.
October 15-22, 1998: On October 15, 1998, Yasser Arafat and Benjamin Netanyahu meet at the Wye River Plantation in Maryland, to continue the talks which ended on September 28. The talks are scheduled to last five days with the focus on Israel giving up 13 percent of Yesha. The talks are extended and conclude on October 23. On October 17, awesome rains and tornadoes hit southern Texas. The San Antonio area is deluged with 20 inches of rain in one day. The rains and floods in Texas continue until October 22 and then subside. The floods ravage 25 percent of Texas and leave over one billion dollars in damage. On October 21, Clinton declares this section of Texas a major disaster area.
May 3, 1999: This is the same day in Israel that Yasser Arafat is scheduled to declare a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as the capital. The declaration is postponed to December 1999 at the request of President Clinton, whose letter to Arafat encourages him for his “aspirations for his own land.” He also writes that the Palestinians have a right to “determine their own future on their own land,” and that they deserve to “live free, today, tomorrow and forever.” That same day, starting at 4:47 pm CDT, the most powerful tornado storm system ever to hit the United States sweeps across Oklahoma and Kansas. The winds are clocked at 316 mph the fastest wind speed ever recorded.
August 29, 2005: Exactly one week after Israel’s Prime Minister Ariel Sharon completed the forcible eviction of Jewish settlers from the Gaza Strip hurricane Katrina struck the states of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama with a destructive and catastrophic force. 80% of the entire city of New Orleans was left under water. Many weather experts called this the worse hurricane and natural disaster that has ever hit the the country. President Bush supported Sharon’s evacuation from Gaza. In April 2005 Bush and Sharon met in Crawford, Texas where Bush praised Sharon for his “strong visionary leadership” in initiating the Gaza withdrawal, known as the disengagement plan. “I strongly support his courageous initiative to disengage from Gaza and part of the West Bank,” he said, referring to the withdrawal of more than 8,000 Jewish settlers from Gaza and four isolated West Bank settlements.
What will happen next? Suppose, instead of cheating Israel out of its land, we do worse, and turn our backs completely. The current US Administration would be wise to study the past. We should pray for the peace of Israel. When America turns its back on Israel our God-given prosperity will most assuredly end. God help us on that day. And that day is coming very soon. God forgive us, and God help Israel.

:2 Hear, heavens,
and listen, earth; for the LORD has spoken:
“I have nourished and brought up children,
and they have rebelled against me.
1:3 The ox knows his owner,
and the donkey his master’s crib;
but Israel doesn’t know,
my people don’t consider.”
1:4 Ah sinful nation,
a people loaded with iniquity,
a seed of evildoers,
children who deal corruptly!
They have forsaken the LORD.
They have despised the Holy One of Israel.
They are estranged and backward.
1:5 Why should you be beaten more,
that you revolt more and more?
The whole head is sick,
and the whole heart faint.
1:6 From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it:
wounds, welts, and open sores.
They haven’t been closed, neither bandaged, neither soothed with oil.
1:7 Your country is desolate.
Your cities are burned with fire.
Strangers devour your land in your presence,
and it is desolate,
as overthrown by strangers.
1:8 The daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard,
like a hut in a field of melons,
like a besieged city.
1:9 Unless the LORD of Hosts had left to us a very small remnant,
we would have been as Sodom;
we would have been like Gomorrah.
1:10 Hear the word of the LORD, you rulers of Sodom!
Listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah!
1:11 “What are the multitude of your sacrifices to me?,” says the LORD.
“I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams,
and the fat of fed animals.
I don’t delight in the blood of bulls,
or of lambs,
or of male goats.
1:12 When you come to appear before me,
who has required this at your hand, to trample my courts?
1:13 Bring no more vain offerings.
Incense is an abomination to me;
new moons, Sabbaths, and convocations:
I can’t bear with evil assemblies.
1:14 My soul hates your New Moons and your appointed feasts.
They are a burden to me.
I am weary of bearing them.
1:15 When you spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you.
Yes, when you make many prayers, I will not hear.
Your hands are full of blood.
1:16 Wash yourselves, make yourself clean.
Put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes.
Cease to do evil.
1:17 Learn to do well.
Seek justice.
Relieve the oppressed.
Judge the fatherless.
Plead for the widow.”
1:18 “Come now, and let us reason together,” says the LORD:
“Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.
Though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
1:19 If you are willing and obedient,
you shall eat the good of the land;
1:20 but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with the sword;
for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.”
1:21 How the faithful city has become a prostitute!
She was full of justice; righteousness lodged in her,
but now murderers.
1:22 Your silver has become dross,
your wine mixed with water.
1:23 Your princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves.
Everyone loves bribes, and follows after rewards.
They don’t judge the fatherless,
neither does the cause of the widow come to them.
1:24 Therefore the Lord, the LORD of Hosts,
the Mighty One of Israel, says:
“Ah, I will get relief from my adversaries,
and avenge myself of my enemies;
1:25 and I will turn my hand on you,
thoroughly purge away your dross,
and will take away all your tin.
1:26 I will restore your judges as at the first,
and your counselors as at the beginning.
Afterward you shall be called ‘The city of righteousness,
a faithful town.’
1:27 Zion shall be redeemed with justice,
and her converts with righteousness.
1:28 But the destruction of transgressors and sinners shall be together,
and those who forsake the LORD shall be consumed.
1:29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which you have desired,
and you shall be confounded for the gardens that you have chosen.
1:30 For you shall be as an oak whose leaf fades,
and as a garden that has no water.
1:31 The strong will be like tinder,
and his work like a spark.
They will both burn together,
and no one will quench them.”

An avalanche is a rapid flow of snow down a slope, from either natural triggers or human activity. Typically occurring in mountainous terrain, an avalanche can mix air and water with the descending snow. Powerful avalanches have the capability to entrain ice, rocks, trees, and other material on the slope; however avalanches are always initiated in snow, are primarily composed of flowing snow, and are distinct from mudslides, rock slides, rock avalanches, and serac collapses from an icefall. In mountainous terrain avalanches are among the most serious objective hazards to life and property, with their destructive capability resulting from their potential to carry an enormous mass of snow rapidly over large distances.
