They can keep her
You may have heard that the Israeli navy intercepted a ship of Palestinian sympathizers who were trying to get to Israel to highlight the plight of civilians in Gaza and deliver aid. Of course, spouting anti-Israeli propoganda to the world press was their primary objective - something they could do just as easily from home but no one would pay any attention to them there.
At any rate, on board this ship of fools was none other than former Congressman, 9/11 truther, and certified leftist loon Cynthia McKinney. It may please you to know that she and 20 other leftist lunatics were taken off the ship and have been held in an Israeli detention center since Tuesday.
CNN reports:
The ex-lawmaker is in the Givon immigration detention center in the central Israeli city of Ramle, the U.S. Embassy said.
She has been given deportation papers but has refused to sign them, the embassy said.
She will be held for three more days, assuming she does not sign the papers, and then will be sent back to the United States, the embassy added.
The location of others taken into custody was not immediately known.
The IDF said the ship, which it called the Arion, had been warned while at sea that it would not be allowed to enter Gazan waters "because of security risks in the area and the existing naval blockade."
The IDF said the cargo boat disregarded all warnings and entered Gazan coastal waters. An Israeli navy force intercepted, boarded and took control of the vessel, directing it toward Ashdod, Israel, the IDF said.
The boat's crew would "be handed over to the proper authorities," the military said.
Why send her home? She obviously doesn't want to leave. Let her stay among her Hamas friends and get an authentic immersion in what it means to live in Gaza. I'm sure she would enjoy herself so much, she might never want to come back to the US.
If only we were so lucky.
