How do the more than 1,000 Palestinians who have been or will be released as part of the Gilad Shalit deal feel about their place in the history of the conflict? Today in Tablet Magazine, Daniella Cheslow talks to two of them, one of whom was imprisoned since 1978 (for killing an Israeli soldier). Both are glad to be out; both don’t regret their time in prison, nor doing what landed them there.
