Haaretz ran some pictures of Gilad and Noam Shalit spending some time on the beach this past Shabbos. They came under criticism for having invaded their privacy. I don't see it as such a big deal. For 5.5 years Gilad was, rightfully so, turned into a ben bayit of every single house in Israel and by many Jews around the world. Our interest in him is not going to disappear the moment he gets released. Personally I am happy he is recuperating, and don't really feel the need to see images of him all the time, but I can understand why it interests the general Israeli community.
Anyway, when I saw the pictures, I thought that it is interesting comparing other images I saw of some of the released terrorists, and how they are getting back into some sort of normal life patterns. So here is the comparison.
