The opening as it read in 2010
Paul Larudee (born April 25th, 1946) is a San Francisco Bay Area human rights advocate for justice in the region known as Palestine, which includes Israel, the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and Jerusalem.1He works with the International Solidarity Movement and the Free Palestine Movement , and was cofounder of the Free Gaza Movement .2He was onboard the Sfendoni, a ship of the Freedom flotilla attempting to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza, when the ship was raided by Israeli forces. His ship was not the Mavi Marmara, of which 9 people were killed. Larudee enacted civil disobedience by jumping into the water, and was pulled back aboard after an hour and a half. Because of this non-violent resistance and for refusing to sign any papers without his lawyer, his Israeli captors tased, tied-up, twisted, and hit him with a flash bomb. He was then kept in prison for two days at Givon Prison, Ramle, Israel.3
