Released Prisoners Return To Gaza Prison

I cannot find the link, but I remember reading a piece yesterday in which the author bemoaned the fact the released palestinian “prisoners” would be moving from their Israeli prisons to the Gaza prison.

Here are some photos of their return to misery.

Al-Mashtal hotel — Two freed Palestinian prisoners sit at the cafe of Al-Mashtal hotel, where they are staying, in the Gaza Strip October 19, 2011. Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit and hundreds of Palestinians crossed Israel's borders in opposite directions on Tuesday as a thousand-for-one prisoner exchange brought joy to families but did little to ease decades of conflict.
