Raz-Levi dismissed police arguments. Elhanan didn't regret sailing on Estelle. He "knew what (he) was getting into." He and others were well briefed and trained for their mission.
He stressed that Israeli commandos used excessive force. On board they recognized Elhanan and threatened him, saying:
"Elhanan, you will pay for your leftism." They proved it by tasering him repeatedly. He's not dissuaded. He said "if they think they could deter me, and those who sailed with me, they are mistaken."
