When you're in it, you're going, like, this couldn't possibly get any fucking worse, and then it does, and so you almost can't process what happened the moment before.

It's so weird.

I'm sure it will take a while for everything to come back, but, yeah, it feels a bit sort of disjointed at the moment.

They enjoyed every moment of that.

I mean, it's really hard to know, like, do they genuinely believe that we're terrorists?

It's so obvious that we're not funded by Hamas, that we're, you know, teachers and mothers and doctors and journalists and ordinary people just doing this because our government are failing us

How are you?

It's a weird feeling.

It's nice to be home, but it's also, yeah, I mean, just knowing that Anthony Albanese hasn't really made a statement, having heard our testimony, is disappointing.

But, yeah, we will definitely bang the drum and make sure that he...

Yeah, it just deals with some of the things that we have been through and that highlight what Palestinians go through every day.

Yeah, I mean, it was bizarre because there hasn't been, in the 20-year history of flotillas, there's never been an interception that's been in the broad daylight.

So we were not anticipating that and that was really brazen.

And so it was kind of weird because it was almost like cosplay soldiers because normally when I've interacted with them, it's stealth and it's dark and they are really frightening.

But we got to see, you know, through the balaclavas, like 18-year-old kids who are really frightened with lots of weaponry and lots of

but also just like these are children, these are brainwashed kids who are doing this.

So that was an extra dimension to what I experienced last year when I was on the flotilla.

Yeah, we saw them coming up.

You know, we heard like maybe we were the 15th boat, I think out of 52 boats that were intercepted.

So we knew that it was coming.
