Excerpt: "I met Elhanan the first time in 2012, on board the same ship, SV Estelle, sailing towards Gaza. We both experienced the military assault and kidnapping by IDF on international waters, hindering us from delivering humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza. And we were in jail together, until I got deported (for ‘trying to illegally enter Israel’ ...). Elhanan, on the other hand, was threatened with harsh punishments (for ‘trying to illegally enter Gaza’ ...). Since then we have kept in touch."
