Apparently Cynthia McKinney, the Green Party presidential candidate was on a boat with 16 people aboard when it collided with an Israeli naval ship Tuesday.
The boat that Cynthia McKinney was on tried to enter coastal waters around Gaza but didn't make it as far as they had hoped.
It seems the yacht carrying 3.5 tons of medical supplies donated by Cyprus. After further investigation, researchers were able to identify that the boat was owned by the U.S.-based Free Gaza Movement.
A press release was transmitted from the organization that claimed that "several Israeli gunboats intercepted the Dignity she was heading on a mission of mercy to Gaza."
Israel's foreign ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor admitted that the incident did occur but made it clear that no gunfire had taken place, he also confirmed that there were no casualties.
