It's Getting Real in these STREETS MAN! Former Congresswoman and Green Party Presidential Nominee, Cynthia Mckinney was taken hostage by the Isreali Navy. Mckinney was apprehended with 21 other leading activists working with Free Gaza a United States based pro-Palestinian humanitarian group. The group's boat, Spirit of Humanity, was taken hostage for ignoring an Israeli blockade that stops ships from entering the area near the Gaza Strip. The video below is from one of McKinney's trips with Free Gaza this past December when the Free Gaza relief boat was rammed by the Isreali Navy. Check out what she was saying even back then.
As many know, the Gaza Strip is going through major land rights issues and millions of Palestinians have been killed and displaced as a result of conflict with Israel over the land, which both groups consider holy land. Our prayers are with all parties involved and wish a safe return to Mckinney and the other activist on the Spirit of Humanity. You can follow this story at freegaza.org
