Protip: don’t try and run Israeli Naval blockades. I suppose, if I were a retard, I would be all up in arms about the Israeli government detaining an American citizen…but then I remeber that 1) it’s Cynthia McKinney, and 2) she was in violation of Israeli law, so all bets are off. The real jewel in the article is this line though:
Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor has said Israel was planning to free the crew and passengers.
“Nobody wants to keep them here,” he said earlier this week.
I’d like to think that just after he said that, he walked off stage and muttered under his breath “seriously, this bitch is crazy, I can’t wait to get rid of her ass.”
The difference between Israel and N. Korea is that Israel is trying to let the grandstanders go, but they won’t sign anything that smacks to them of a “confession”. I predict three choruses of “We Shall Overcome” followed by a hunger strike within the week.
