On July 20, St. Louis activist Bob Suberi and around 20 others set sail on the ship Handala with the goal of breaking the Israeli siege on Gaza. On Sunday, the boat was intercepted and Suberi was detained by Israeli forces. We first hear Barbara Suberi share her reaction to her husband’s situation in the immediate aftermath of learning of his release from detention. Then Bob Suberi describes his trip to Gaza and confrontation with the Israeli Navy. Suberi also describes his personal connection to Palestinian activist Awdah Hathaleen, who was shot and killed by an Israeli settler on Monday.
