This is a video recorded on-board the boat called "Spirit of Humanity" carrying aid for Palestinians in Gaza on June 30, 2009. The ship was intercepted by the Israeli Navy and everyone on-board was imprisoned for a week (for carrying aid!). I am not sure what happened to the aid or the ship afterward.
The aid was in response to "over 2,400 homes were destroyed in Gaza during the Israeli massacre in December/January, 490 of them by F-16 airstrikes, as well as 30 mosques, 29 educational institutions, 29 medical centers, 10 charitable organizations, and 5 cement factories." http://jnoubiyeh.blogspot.com/2009/06/free-gaza-boat-spirit-of-humanity.html
I hope the video is not taken down from youtube due to pro-Israel protests, but if it is, then the original video is here: http://www.ricenpeas.com/2009/July/cynthia_mckinney_intvw.html
