A boat carrying international peace activists, including former Georgia congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, and medical supplies to the embattled Gaza Strip sailed back into a Lebanese port on Tuesday after being turned back and damaged by the Israeli navy, organizers of the trip said.

The crowds on the docks in the Lebanese port city of Tyre were jubilant and cheering as they welcomed the vessel.

The boat, which set off from Cyprus Monday wanted to make a statement and deliver medical supplies to embattled Gaza. The trip

Well, if they did not try to run the blockade, this would of never happened. I see this as stupidity on thir part. If they allowed the Israel Navy to board, all would of been well for them ...

If they didn't find themselves opposing the God of Israel they wouldn't have been in that situation either.

I have to wonder what they hoped to achieve by doing what they did, Israel is at war. I also wonder what might have happened to them if they had gotten into Gaza at this time. Some people really need to read the history and listen to those clerics and others who say out right Israel has no right to exists, would they be so willing to help those who want an entire people wiped off the map. Yet I cannot see anyone of those who feel the palestinians have more rights to the land to ever change their minds.

Unfortunately, many will not understand until it happens to them. If Mexico, Canada or Cuba started launching rockets into the US, those here who are so against Israel would change their mind real fast.

A boat carrying medical supplies to Palestinians is damaged? Hilarious!!!

Oh no wait, that's not hilarious, because human life is actually worth something.

[MorningGlory]

I'm laughing but let me make it clear that I do NOT wish any harm to come to Ms. McKinney or anyone accompanying her. Hopefully she, and the others, will leave that area of the world and come home to do their protesting. Hamas won't appreciate anything done for them anyway.

[The Lorax]

Good to hear glory, but my comment wasn't meant for you.

The people on the boat concern me, but I'm most worried about the dying Palestinians including children who were waiting for the medical supplies the boat was carrying. How can a Christian laugh at this? So the boat made a stupid move...Would you laugh at an ambulance if it got wrecked because the driver ran a red light?

Also, I see Cobalt is reading this thread. What do I win if he changes the subject to abortion?

There is no such thing as "palestians." It's a made-up term.

We can put semantics aside because it doesn't matter to me what KIND of people these people are, just that they ARE people.

Perhaps if this humanitarian effort would have went through the proper channels and not tried to run a naval blockade, this wouldn't have happened.

There's something ironic about talking about "proper channels" in the same place bombs are dropping. Tell me, were those Palestinian children killed through the proper channels, or are they just collateral damage?

The fact of the matter is, if Hamas was not lobing missles and mortars into Israel daily, the attacks on Gaza would never have taken place. Where is your outrage over that?

We can debate historical context all day, and you would probably win, but I'm looking at the immediate threat to life. People are dying, a boat trying to help them got damaged, but we here at Worthy are laughing about it because apparently that boat stands for something we don't like.

Where's Jesus in us?

Life is precious, and it's just as precious to Israel.

Grace to you,

Lorax,

I'll answer your question when I hear your condemnation for those who seek the extermination of an entire race of people from the face of the earth. Until then I will laugh at bozo's like Cynthia McKinney when she opposes the very God of Israel.
