00:00We were on international waters. We were illegally attacked and kidnapped by Israel and taken against our will to Israel where we were detained. And then some of us deported, some are still there. There are very big uncertainties because it was quite chaotic and uncertain.
00:24How did the Israelis treat you? We saw them giving out sandwiches on their social media. How did it? How did it?
00:29Yeah, they probably have posted lots of PR stunt videos. As I said, I have not seen anything. But they did an illegal act by kidnapping us on international waters and against our will, bringing us to Israel, keeping us in the bottom of the boat, not letting us get out and so on.
00:45But that is not the real story here. The real story is that there is a genocide going on in Gaza and a systematic starvation following the siege and blockade now, which is leading to food, medicine, water that are desperately needed to get into Gaza is prevented from doing so.
01:04But, of course, there are many attempts like this mission, both by sea and land, to break that siege and open up a humanitarian corridor.
01:14Are you disappointed you didn't manage to break the siege?
01:17I don't know if disappointed is the right word. This is a continued violation of international law and war crimes that Israel are systematically committing against Palestinians by not letting aid come in, by starving people and mass slaughtering in every possible way during a live stream, full-blown genocide that the world is watching.
01:48Thank you very much.
