Bogan Intelligentsia Ep. 24: Activist Robert Martin’s Fight on the Freedom Flotilla

Description:
In Episode 24 of the Bogan Intelligentsia Podcast, we’re thrilled to bring our dedicated fans an unflinching conversation with Australian human rights activist Robert Martin. In July 2025, Robert joined the Freedom Flotilla’s Handala mission to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, only to be intercepted by Israeli forces in international waters, detained in Givon Prison, and subjected to harsh treatment alongside 20 activists, including journalist Tania Safi. From sabotage at Gallipoli port to a hunger strike in detention, Robert shares his gripping journey, reflections on Palestine’s resilient spirit, and observations of Israel’s expanding settlements and systemic oppression. This 90-minute episode is a must-listen for fans seeking raw insights into the Gaza crisis and the fight for justice.
