From an Australian TV Interview

From the transcript of an interview at the big demo 10 days ago, on August 12 for an Australian TV network:


PETER CAVE: Yisrael Medad is a spokesman for the Yesha Council.

YISRAEL MEDAD: We are trying to represent the popular will of the people. This is a democracy.

PETER CAVE: Are you hoping that some of the thousands of people you've got here tonight will actually cross across into Gaza?

YISRAEL MEDAD: We're not only hoping, we know that they will be across into the Gush Katif area next week, and if not, they'll be at Kisufim Junction in order to slow down this process of evacuation and expulsion. We will not allow this process to go down quietly. If it does happen, afterwards, because they're going to be elections within the year, we're going to have a new Government, a new Prime Minister, and hopefully we'll return to sanity in this country.

PETER CAVE: Could you return to Gaza?

YISRAEL MEDAD: Quite possibly.
