Then, yeah, put into a prison van and they're really good at once.
Once you go into a van, you wait there for two hours when the air con's on, it's really freezing.
So it's kind of just everything that they can do to make everything as uncomfortable and everything as like sort of humiliating and undignified as possible is what you will encounter.
Yeah, and then, you know, off to Kesiot Prison, which I was familiar with from last October.
Because things aren't changing and, you know, the pretend ceasefire and the Board of Peace and Albanese sort of changing his language around how much we arm Israel.
It just felt like Gaza was off the map again and the global community weren't really looking in their direction.
And so I do know that when people have privileged passports and people with white skin, it's really, really horrific.
But the reality is that the world cares more about what happens to my body and my daughter's body and my friend's body than Palestinian brown bodies.
And that is the racist reality.
And, you know, so I knew that...
I knew that I'd be able to bear it.
Like, I feel really, really in shell shock.
I feel really heartbroken.
But I also feel like if it can go in any way to change the way that Palestinians have to live, especially the 10,000 people in prison, 350 of them are children with no charge, then, yeah, it's worth it because I couldn't really live with myself if I didn't try to help.
Juliette, thank you so much for your time.
What are you comfortable telling us about what exactly happened to you?
Can you just tell us, I mean, were they talking to you?
