It’s true that Turkish government is not involved on the aid to Gaza, it was private organization. But it’s also fact that Israel has attacked the ship in international waters, which is classified as piracy. US the law enforcer staying slient to this fact becauseof the fact that American congress and executive branch is owned by Israelis.
Cynthia McKinney is a ‘reformer of the truth’. Turkey was NOT attacked by anybody. She insisted that it was and the US, as part of NATO, should side with Turkey against Israel. The Turkish flotilla was organized by private organizations and not by the Turkish Government, therefore the issue is between these organizations and Israel.
In addition, the flotilla’s main purpose was to break the blockade, therefore whining about crayons for children and medical supplies is disingenuous, misleading and an outright lie. They were asked to follow a procedure which would have enabled the fast delivering of the goods to Gaza. No, the flotilla chose to defy precisely because they wanted to make a political case out of this situation. They maintain incessant attack on Israel with a high level of propaganda lies.
I know why this woman is not a Congresswoman anymore. She is out to lunch. The rest in US Congress will be fired and will follow her after November 02, 2010.
