Rocking the Boat

(Fox News) - The military blockade imposed by the Israeli Defense Force was not enough to deter former Democratic Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney from trying to deliver aid to Gaza. McKinney was among 16 activists aboard a supply boat that collided with an Israeli naval ship off the Gaza coast.

As a result, the supply ship was forced to dock at a Lebanese port. The former Green Party presidential candidate said in a TV interview with CNN: "Our boat was rammed three times, twice in the front and one on the side... our mission was thwarted by the aggressiveness of the Israeli army."

But an Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman says the naval vessel made physical contact only after the supply ship failed to respond to repeated radio transmissions.
