British Journalist Yvonne Ridley Released from Israeli Detention, Says Experience Was Worse Than Taliban Captivity

‘We are going to sail into Gaza more determined than ever’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

RIDLEY: “Many of you who know me know that I spent 11 days in prison under the Taliban regime in 2001. Well, I'll tell you something now and this is straight from the heart, I would rather spend two months in a Taliban prison than two days with the Israelis. The Israelis were savage. They were brutal. They were misogynistic. The women prison officers were part of the patriarchy and they made our lives utter hell. And so that's something to think about that I would rather do two months in Afghanistan than one more day in Israel. Anyway, on that message, peace and love to everybody and free, free Palestine.”
