Surya McEwen is one of six Australians who made headlines recently after being kidnapped from international waters and detained by Israeli forces. He sat down with Abbie after only 2 days back in Australia to talk about time he's spent on the ground in the West Bank, his journey with the Flotilla, and the treatment he and others faced in their detention.
