<DIV>Below is Cynthia McKinney's statement on the Memorial Day Massacre of the
Freedom Flotilla:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana>"I am outraged at Israel's latest criminal act. I mourn
with my fellow Free Gaza travelers, the lives that have been lost by Israel's
needless, senseless act against unarmed humanitarian activists. But I'm even
more outraged that once again, Israel's actions have been aided and abetted by a
U.S. political class that has become corrupted beyond belief due to its reliance
on Zionist finance and penetration by Zionist zealots for whom no U.S. weapons
system is too much for the Israeli war machine, and the silence of the world's
onlookers whose hearts have grown cold with indifference.<BR><BR>"I recently
visited the offices of IHH, the Turkish humanitarian organization that sponsored
one of the Freedom Flotilla boats, and that was targeted by the Israelis for its
murderous rampage. Reports are still coming in as to the full extent of the
senseless Israeli violence. Of course, I expect Israel's apologists in the press
and in the United States government to shift into high gear to support Israel's
lying machine. Take note of their names. The 12,000 internet squatters/written
word grenade throwers, hired by the Israeli Foreign Ministry to defend Israel
and attack peace activists online, are already busy spreading their orchestrated
disinformation in cyberspace. Be very careful what you read and believe from
special interest press and the internet. You could be reading one of Israel's
hired hacks. As a news diversion from what Israel has just done, I suspect that
we can also expect to see a lot of historical footage of war's atrocities on
television: today is Memorial Day in the United States, a day long ago set aside
to remember the sacrifices of U.S. war dead.<BR><BR>"I encouraged and supported
U.S.S. Liberty veteran Joe Meadors's participation in the Freedom Flotilla.
Unfortunately, the fate of the U.S.S. Liberty innocents on the high seas, while
in international waters, has now been visited upon the participants in the
Freedom Flotilla, in large measure because of the Congressional- and
Presidential-level cover-up of the 1967 Israeli attack on that U.S. surveillance
ship. Combined with the failure of just about every other effort to hold Israel
accountable for its crimes against humanity, war crimes, genocide, and crimes
against the peace. Belgium and Spain changed their domestic laws of universal
jurisdiction after Israeli appeals to do so. The entire musical chairs gang of
rotating Israeli leadership are war criminals. During my imprisonment in Israel
for attempting to take crayons to the children of Gaza, I called Israel a failed
state. If Israel is threatened by unarmed, humanitarian activists to the point
of massacring them, then Israel is a failed state. Israel is a failed nuclear
state.<BR><BR>"Obama's most recent granting of an additional $205 million for
Israeli "missile defense" is unconscionable, when in the same week, reports
revealed for the first time, Israel's offer of nuclear weapons to apartheid
South Africa. Just last week, a paper bearing the signature of former Israeli
Prime Minister, Shimon Peres, was released by South Africa, revealing that in
1975, Israel could offer South Africa nuclear weapons "in three sizes." South
Africa's then-Minister of Defense, P.W. Botha, was South Africa's signatory to
the letter. This information would make the entire Obama Administration look
sadly farcical as it points an accusing finger at Iran, except that U.S.
obeisance to the Israeli bloodthirst is deadly serious. With deadly
outcomes.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana>"Earlier this month, Israel was granted admission to the
Organization of Economic and Community Development (OECD), a direct affront to
ongoing Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) efforts across the world. Once
again, Israel has thumbed its nose at the global community--with bloody
results--because it can.<BR><BR>"I am proud to serve on the Bertrand Russell
Tribunal on Palestine. Its next sitting will be in London, where we will examine
corporate complicity in Israel's crimes against Palestine. The Tribunal will sit
from November 5 - 7. Please put this on your calendar. We all must do what we
can, where we are to end wars against the people at home and wars against human
rights abroad.<BR><BR>"Finally, a friend just sent a message to me saying that
the Israelis had lost their minds. Sadly, based on the past, the Israelis could
very well conclude that they can do anything--imprison me for trying to take
love to the children of Gaza and kill humanitarian activists trying to do the
same--because they know, in the end, they'll get away with it. Instead, I would
suggest that we are the ones who have lost our minds, our souls, our spirits,
and our human dignity if we allow the Israelis to get away with
murder--again--and we do nothing.<BR><BR>"I am calling on the people of the
United States to change course now.<BR><BR>"On this Memorial Day 2010, I am
stunned and outraged beyond belief while mourning the dead of the Freedom
Flotilla to Gaza."</FONT></DIV>
