Guest guest Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Dear All, US Congress woman, Cynthia Ann McKinney, has risked her life to try and get medical supplies to the besieged people of Gaza. While political leaders world-over bemoan what is happening to the Gazan people, Cynthia went there, in a boat, with medical supplies for them. She risked her life and limb to do this, because the Israeli military men did not want the Gazans to get any medical supplies. They rammed the boat she was in and the supplies did not get through. But the fact that she has made this gesture, has stirred the world community. The first URL introduces Cynthia McKinney and helps you understand exactly what she is about. Be sure to listen right to the end, as it is very stirring indeed. In short, i cannot fault anything that Cynthia says. She is an honest, truthful person, which can be seen: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=ozQ_iPuqCxg & NR=1 What Cynthia says in this URL is just priceless!: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=8K_euG_E7rY & feature=related In this URL Cynthia talks about the boat being rammed as they tried to get medical supplies to Gaza: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=KBpcCumKh1w In this written article, Cynthia McKinney tells that they survived to tell the story. She asks, " What would we have done, stranded out at sea, prohibited from reaching our destination, low on fuel, with a badly damaged boat if Lebanon had not accepted us? Lebanon sent their ships to find us. Lebanon rescued us. Lebanon welcomed us. And we are truly thankful " : http://www.opednews.com/articles/We-Lived-to-Tell-the-Story-by-Cynthia-McKinney-\ 090101-305.html This URL is also related to the boat attack on McKinney: http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/node/38592 This URL is Cynthia McKinnon on Barack Obama's acceptance speech: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=oBFPkiUy8qY & NR=1 Enjoy, violet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
