People Just Do Something

Bristol-based activist Ben Trowell has just returned home after being detained by the Israel Defence Forces in international waters near Crete. In this episode, Ben speaks to Isaac Kneebone-Hopkins about the training he underwent before joining the Global Sumud Flotilla, daily life on board, and what happened when the IDF boarded the boat 600 nautical miles from Gaza. From dealing with land sickness to going on hunger strike while detained, Ben shares his firsthand account of the flotilla’s attempt to break the maritime blockade and deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza.
