[lbo-talk] From Cynthia McKinney: We Lived to Tell the Story; Lebanon Rescued Us

[Chuck Grimes]

``THIS is why I supported Cynthia McKinney for President, as a Green
Party candidate. She and the other extraordinary people attempting to
deliver medical supplies to Gaza were attacked by Israeli boats in
international waters. They were saved by Lebanon...'' Mitchel Cohen

BTW, I watched your program Steal This Radio, the other day, posted on
a link, about the collapse of the US economy. Your guest (forgot his
name at the moment) tied together several different aspects of class
war, de-industrialization, flat or declining wages, the rise of
credit, etc. It was good to hear a very succinct formulation, without
a lot of the usual equivocations.

Here is an extended video report on the boat and McKinney:

>From Michael Pollak's link:

``Israel’s siege of Gaza began on 5 November, the day after an Israeli
attack inside the strip, no doubt designed finally to undermine the
truce between Israel and Hamas established last June. Although both
sides had violated the agreement before, this incursion was on a
different scale...''

I had forgotten the date. But thinking back on it, sure Nov 5, once
the outcome of the US election was known, Israel better get started in
case there was a change in US foriegn policy. And nothing like testing
the president elect.

McKinney in the link above directly appealled to Obama to condem
Israel's siege.

It would be nice to hear from Bryan Atinsky who does a pretty good job
of posting left and left-liberal Israeli views...
